James River Pest Solutions is by far the BEST service I have ever used. Their communication is clear and friendly, their techs go above and beyond at your home. Daniel came out and not only told me exactly what he was doing, but he did a few little extras too that made us feel comfortable and safe from pests! I would recommend JRPS any day!

Joe is so personable and professional. He is always on time and also willing to go the extra mile when asked or needed. We haven’t had one single issue with ants, etc. since we started using him. He used pet-safe products and took the extra time to educate us on every product and service. Would definitely recommend Joe!

Joe has been fantastic. Had a mouse problem and reached out to multiple pest control places. Joe was the first to call back and was out either that day or the next. Did an inspection, gave a recommendation on a treatment plan and have had absolutely no issues since. Joe always communicates when he will be out to do work and is very personable.
