I personally strive for superior customer care and so does family-owned business, Kuma Pest Control. I have been a recurring customer for over one year. They treat the inside, garage and outside of my home. Shaah (technician) and Wayne (Owner) have outstanding prices for my services. They are trustworthy. Dependable. Communicative. Texts to let you know your service is due. Texts when they are on the way. Calls with an ETA. Owner is easy to reach. Wears shoe covers inside the home. Shaah provides excellent tips and guidance on how to mitigate pests from your home. The payment process is just as easy as everything else. Sympathetic to the homeowners needs. Wayne heard of a situation my family was in and reached out to extend his sympathy. We are not simply another customer, we are apart of the Kuma family and as a member, we feel valued and considered. If I were you, I would not hesitate to hire the black-owned Kuma Pest Control team.

I had a great experience with Kuma!!! When I called, I received an immediate answer from Wayne, who was so kind & welcoming. I wasn’t sure if they serviced the Atlanta area, but I had to ask & I’m glad I did. I told Wayne my concern & the issue with roaches & gnats. He sent images for comparison to see which ones I was dealing with & was very transparent with the pricing. I’ve had 2 visits thus far. My first visit, AJ came out. Really nice guy by the way. He asked questions about what we were experiencing, where it was taking place & explained in detail what the solution would do. I feel confident knowing the issue was being resolved & was satisfied with my experience! The 2nd time I reached out, it was because we had a bug in our closet 🫣 I reached back out to Wayne & he scheduled my service immediately. My 2nd service was definitely helpful & made a big difference. AJ came back out the 2nd time & made sure to check any other areas that needed spraying. Both appointments were roughly a week and a half apart, so it was no charge due to it being so soon shortly after. I have to say I’m very satisfied with this experience. This is a great company & they truly care about their craft as well as their delivery in customer service. Wayne & AJ, thank you so much for all of your help. It’s truly appreciated. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a pest control company, this is it!

Thank you so much, Taylor! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. I’m glad I was able to help you identify the pests and explain the pricing, and I’m especially happy that AJ took the time to listen, explain the treatment, and follow up on your concerns. Taking care of our customers and making sure they feel comfortable and informed is very important to us. Thank you for choosing Kuma and for recommending us! — Wayne, Owner, Kuma Pest Control

If I could choose no stars I would , I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Kuma Pest Control, particularly with the representative, Wayne. I initially booked the service because I had concerns about possible sightings of German roaches and water bugs. When I scheduled the appointment, I was told that the technician would come out to assess the situation and that the assessment would be $249 if I chose to move forward. I had also scheduled an inspection with another pest control company so I could compare prices and services before deciding how to proceed. However, when the Kuma technician arrived, no assessment was performed. He came inside, sprayed, and left. He was at my home from approximately 10:05 AM to 10:12 AM—about seven minutes. He did not inspect the areas of concern, look for signs of an infestation, or provide any assessment or explanation of what he found. Because the technician sprayed during the visit, I no longer had the opportunity to make an informed comparison or decide whether to move forward with Kuma Pest Control before services were performed. Shortly afterward, I received a text message regarding payment of the $249 fee. When I questioned the charge because I did not feel the assessment had actually been performed, Wayne’s responses via phone were extremely rude and dismissive. I explained that I felt he was trying to chastise me for not researching the price beforehand. His comment that I could have put it in AI and researched how much they charge was unprofessional and unnecessary, especially since I understood that I would first receive an assessment before deciding whether to proceed. My concern is not simply the $249 charge; it is that I paid for an assessment I do not feel I received and lost the opportunity to compare prices and services with another company. Clear communication about what the $249 covered and what services would actually be performed would have prevented this situation. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Kuma Pest Control. Customers deserve transparency, professionalism, and the opportunity to make informed decisions before being charged for services.

Shemika, thank you for sharing your experience. I am genuinely sorry that you left feeling disappointed and unheard. Regardless of any misunderstanding surrounding the appointment, the service performed, or the charge, I understand that we did not meet your expectations for clear communication and your perception of our professionalism. As the owner, I take concerns like this seriously. I never want a customer to feel pressured, confused about what they are authorizing, or dissatisfied with how their concerns are handled. I appreciate you bringing this experience to my attention, and I will use your feedback to continue to review our communication and service procedures. I would welcome any potential customer to call judge for your self, in every conversation you will receive the process, the expectations and a repeat of the pricing that is clearly listed on our website. This the first negative review we have received in 13 years, so of course we take this seriously. — Wayne, Owner, Kuma Pest Control
