James River came in, accessed the issue and applied necessary actions that addressed the issue in a very timely manner.
Called at 11am about a hornets nest on the house. Nest and hornets gone by 1pm. Love these guys! 😎
Very professional and came quickly to help me get rid of a nest of yellow jackets.
On time and worked as promised
Efficient and professional removal of a HUGE hornet nest! I signed up with them for yearly pest control.

Prompt and comprehensive service. Tripp was friendly, professional, on time and very knowledgeable.
Joe quickly and effectively removed a nasty hornets nest from our roof. 10/10, would call again!
This company continues to exceed expectations. Daniel is always on time, friendly and supportive regarding my issues with my concerns regarding wasps/mice. Since we have been using this company, we have been pest free. Yes, occasionally a wasp appears, but that will happen. We have been totally mice free and…
I had been seeing yellow jackets around my property and didn't want them building a nest and multiplying. I had a one time service done with James River Pest Solutions, and I'll continue to keep a watch for them coming back in the future. Joe was very prompt, actually an hour early to my appointment window. I was…
Always thorough and the problems are definitely solved!
Called with a yellow jacket problem and they were at my house within the hour to take care of it. Great pricing and excellent customer service!
These guys were quick and professional - plain and simple! Thank you !
Very effective and efficient service. Polite and thorough. Very happy with the outcome.
The guys at James River did a bang up job. I discovered a very large nest of bald faced hornets in a tree in my front yard. I called James River around 6pm to see their availability and they were at my house by noon the next day. In under 45 minutes they had exterminated the nest and completely removed it. The…
We have had Joe take care of wasp and yellow jacket issues over the past couple of years. Quick response and effective results from James River Pest Solutions!
Joe is great! We have used his services for over 20 years. He has had a standing relationship with my parents house and when I moved, I made sure to get Joe to do pest control for my own home. He’s professional, efficient, and super flexible. Highly recommend!
Customer service is A+ as well as responsiveness. My home used to be really dirty looking by this time of year but not since James River the pest control is A+ and my house never looked better just a great side effect
These days I feel like it's rare to call a business and have the owner answer right from the start. I called James River Pest for general pest control services as well as termite inspection and treatment. I was pleasantly surprised to see the owner along side his team in their service call. Their entire team has…
Very pleased with your service
Friendly, professional. Would use again
Great company! Always on time, courteous and professional. Great value for the services they provide!
Joe is very professional, personable and a great value. Always shows up when he says he will and delivers on promises. Definitely recommend!
Joe and team are great. Joe is always attentive to our needs and makes sure we are happy. Joe is also always available and willing to help, even when asking questions randomly about concerns when traveling.
Joe and his growing team are exceptional. Always responsive, always on time. We haven't had a single ant problem on the interior of our home since we started using them. Would highly recommend! We love that they are a local business as well.
We had a hornet’s nest in our gutter and within one hour of calling, Daniel showed up and eradicated it. What a brave guy! He came back 3 days later to make sure it was gone. Super professional and quick! Also, the man on the phone was very nice, explained their list of services but I never felt pressure to add on a…
Joe and his staff are always very professional when they come out. They always make sure they ask if there’s anything else that we need before they leave. They are very respectful of my home and our residents and ask permission to go into the rooms before they do so. My home is a North Chesterfield and during the…
I called James River Pest Solutions to come out and help rid us of many (many) unwanted wasps, including spray deterrent behind second-floor shutters and inside our attic because they have been getting into our house and it's freaking us out. My at-the-time pest company refused to do so, claiming those areas were…
Always show up on time and do what they say they will! Haven’t seen a bug or critter in my home since I started using them.
Totally satisfied with the people and the services!
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!
Serviced my home for a huge wasp nest. Very quick and thorough with the job. Haven’t seen any around since they came out 😌. Ask for Joe! He’s great and knows what’s he’s doing. Overall great company that I highly recommend!!!
We uncovered a yellow jackets nest when doing some work in our yard. Joe responded to our request for a quote within the hour, on a Saturday nonetheless. He was able to come out same day and took care of the nest right away. Professional, trustworthy and a fair price! We would certainly recommend JRPS to anyone and…
Joe was awesome! On time, professional, went above and beyond spraying for not only ants, but spiders and other creepy creatures too! He also took care of the yellow jackets that built a nets under ground in a flower bed! We will definitely use Joe again!
We highly recommend James River Pest Solutions. They are affordable and Joe is very knowledgeable and has quickly addressed all of the bug problems we have had.
