We love Midwest Pest! they are so kind and helpful and their products are kid+pet safe so we never have to worry. We have a large home with multiple entry ways and wooded area behind our home so we definitely needed some extra help with the critter population and these guys have been consistent and effective!

David did our pest control service this month, always pleasant and interested to hear about the problem bugs and where they are living.

Exemplary communication, beginning to end. Specialist who came out, David, took the extra effort to reach out to me instead of knocking on the door after learning my wife was inside with a newborn, not wanting to bother them. Answered all of my questions, was personable, and addressed all concerns.
