Geoffrey was on time, very friendly, and explained what he was doing and how it would help to get rid of our carpenter ant problem. He made recommendations that we could do ourselves to help what he did to be more effective, including pointing out areas that insects and mice may be getting in. The service was today, so I can't speak to how well it worked yet.
