Having Home Shield take care of a serious rat problem has been great. Alex was here this week and did a very through job of cleaning cobwebs and spraying for bugs. He is new on the job but his service was excellent. I have a new friend. 🤗 Fran Franchetto

The gate to our yard was left open AGAIN and our dogs got out! This is numerous times your company has done this. It is very clear we have dogs and this carelessness is not ok.
