These guys are professionals who having been doing this for years, have experience, and know what to do . I had a serious mice problem in my garage.

Zach Wiegel from Plunketts is awesome!! Taken care of multiple pest issues outside of routine service, including a gianormous yellow jacket nest we found in the ground. Helpful and friendly, highly recommend!!!
Amazing service! Answers calls quickly, very professional and reliable. Glad to have met someone who does their job thoroughly without direction or supervision. Best prices in town! Trust him explicitly to work on my properties without me having to be present. I will hire him again and again for ALL my properties in need of these services!
Not sure what we paid, ended going to a yearly package while the dude was here. He did a great job with the bees and apparently with the asian beetles as there are 100's laying around the foundation of the house. Very satisfied!!

I’ve been very happy with the service I’ve received. Bryce has been very professional and nice to share my concerns with.
I was very happy with Plunkett's Pest Control. They were professional & honest. What impressed me, I was quoted one price, and when they saw that I was in a townhouse, smaller than an average home, they did not charge me the full amount. I will call them next year, as I was very pleased with them.
Came out quickly and took care of the bee problem

Prompt, professional service. They came back multiple times to quell wasps on my front portale. Highly recommend them!
I was extremely pleased with the services that Plunkett's Pest Control provided me this summer. I had an underground wasp nest that was difficult to treat due to the nest extending under a vinyl fence. Brandon made multiple trips to treat the nest and brought in other co-workers to make sure the treatment was…
