Alex was very professional, approachable, and scrupulous. He genuinely wanted to find the right solution to my problem. In fact he came back twice to inspect my property and the second time with a colleague he thought could help because of his particular experience with the specific problem we were trying to solve. They gave me a very reasonable solution and I greatly appreciated that both inspections were conducted without a fee. All together, I had a fantastic experience with this company and its employees. I greatly recommend them!

We have always been very happy with Kanga! They have gotten rid of our ant problem and they are always very thorough. Tyler has always had exceptional customer service! Kanga recently took care of some"visitors" in crawlspace and after performing our quarterly maintenance, Tyler offered to check for any activity, of which there was none, thankfully. I appreciate your thoroughness!
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Kanga has effectively resolved your ant problem and that you found our service thorough. Alex appreciates your kind words about his friendly and helpful approach. We look forward to continuing to serve you in the future!
