$58typical billiMedian bill customers of this company reported in their reviews (needs 3+ priced reviews).
Customers frequently cite punctuality, professional communication, and reasonable pricing as key aspects of their experience with Next Level Pest Control. Technicians are described as thorough, often providing detailed explanations of treatments for issues like ants, spiders, and rodents, while the company is noted for its wide service area. However, a small number of low-star reviews highlight instances of poor communication and service performed at the wrong location, alongside one report of an ineffective flea treatment that led to cancellation.

Update Oct 2026. Still receiving great service from Next Level. Some of the technicians they have added to their team including Moses have been great.
I have been using Next Level Pest Control since July 2022. They have done an outstanding job and I strongly recommend this locally owned small business.
Why I like them:
- They show up when they say they will be there.
- They listen to the customer's needs then recommend solutions.
- Their techs are professional, clean, trustworthy, and easy to work with.
- Their appointment scheduling is convenient and streamlined.
- You can reach them by phone and speak to a real person.
- They have the skills to treat all the pest problems I have encountered.
- Their prices are reasonable.
I highly recommend Next Level Pest if you are looking for a new pest service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Service!
Kevin from Next Level Pest Control did an excellent job taking care of our home! He was thorough, professional, and attentive to every detail. He took care of the cobwebs around the exterior, treated the perimeter of our home, checked the backyard bait stations, and replaced the glue boards in our garage as needed.
I especially appreciate that Kevin took the time to explain the treatment and let us know what to expect afterward. It’s wonderful to have someone who genuinely cares about doing a great job and keeping our home protected.
Thank you, Kevin, for your hard work, professionalism, and outstanding service! We truly appreciate you and highly recommend Kevin and Next Level Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable and professional pest control service!

I’ve used this company for a little over a year now, not one bad thing to say. They do a great job and their maintenance price is reasonable considering what some of the other companies out there charge. Not to mention their service area scope is fairly wide, I moved nearly 30 mins away from my last service address and they still cover this area.
