So Scott has come to my residence quite a few times now and is one of the best employees Joshua's has. He is thorough, consistent and super down to earth. Hangs out with my dogs for a few to keep them entertained and comfortable with him. Overall a hardworking genuine guy who clearly takes pride in his work. Thanks Scott!

We had a swarm of bees outside our bedroom door this morning that eventually found its way into my bedroom and the office in the back of our house. I called Joshua’s Pest Control in a complete panic and Alex was extremely patient and kind to me. He was able to find bee experts at their company to come to my house…

I am so impressed with Joshua's. The customer service agent and the inspector were extremely professional and friendly. Within 24 hours of the treatment we saw results. We signed up for the quarterly service in addition to the initial inspection/treatment. I am so grateful my neighbors recommended them.
