A new technician came out, and he was polite, confident, courteous, friendly and very professional. I failed to write down his name, but it was a pleasure doing business with him. I sincerely hope he continues to come to my house on Shephard Drive in Denham Springs. He is a keeper!!

Treated our property on 9/14/23, but didn’t use granules, as they were out of stock. For a business that is for pest extermination, they should always have stock or reschedule the visit to ensure the full service for which the customer is paying.
