I have used Johnny Bugs now for quite a few years. I’d like to say I’m as happy as the first time, but I can’t because they keep getting better! I love their bright green logo, the kind voice that answers the phone, how you’re reminded of the future appointment and how they text you when they are on their way!…

We've been using Johnny Bugs for Fire Ant control for a few years now. I'm very happy with their service and the results. Always try to be careful, but I hardly ever see a Fire Ant nest in our yard. If we do see one, Johnny Bugs comes right out. It's been over 5 years now, and still great service.

Always a good experience with Johnny bugs! I've been using them periodically for years. My tech remembered I like to keep my spiders in my pool cage and planned the ant extermination around it. I really appreciate a company that is happy to work with me.

I have used Johnny Bugs now for quite a few years. I’d like to say I’m as happy as the first time, but I can’t because they keep getting better! I love their bright green logo, the kind voice that answers the phone, how you’re reminded of the future appointment and how they text you when they are on their way! But when the service person is seen thru my door’s peephole, I am assured my home will be well taken care of! Can’t ask for more! But, you get more. They follow through with this evaluation which says to me, they want to be certain I am happy and at the same time evaluating their employees! How’s that for a glowing review!

Fred was very personable. He text me that day letting me know what time he would arrive. He was very thorough! Compared to the service we have had prior for 14 years and never spent more than 20 mins…. Never mind the over an hour Fred spent on our property. So glad to support a local/family business. This company actually shows they care about their clients. Even asked/brought a little dog treat for our dogs!! Top notch.. so happy my neighbor recommended!!! Thanks Heather!
