Most fantastic experience of my life, I had roaches, I had spiders, I had baby snakes & I had biters. However, the friendly team at ICP came out & took care of my pests as if they knew how each individual pest thought, because they did.

Professional, knowledgeable, personable, thorough, reliable, reasonably priced. The owner himself did our initial inspection. No area, including our attic, went without inspection. Everything was explained upfront and anything found or taken care of during inspection was backed with proof. Personally owned and ran. Highly recommend!!

I had a very severe infestation of carpenter bees and a problem with rats. Iron City Pests came out and within a few days my carpenter bee problem was greatly reduced. It has been a couple of months now and I have only seen one carpenter bee! No more rats either! Kolby is very knowledgeable and truly a nice person!
