Cory, was so patient and kind I truly loved his demeanor. My stress level decreased immensely when quicker than expected the ants we gone. Thank you so much for a job very well done!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Anita! We’re thrilled to hear that Cory was patient, kind, and able to make the experience less stressful for you. It’s wonderful to know we were able to get those ants taken care of quicker than expected. We truly appreciate your trust and support, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Cory!
Very disappointed with the service. After the initial treatment, we were still seeing wasps on our porch and ants outside. Their website states they will return for a free retreatment, so they came back out, but we’re still seeing the same pests. Even worse, our card was charged a second time after the retreatment. We paid twice and still have the same problem. Not happy with the service or the unexpected charge.

They did great. Customer service is always great from Ponder Pest Control, as well as the work performed. Cory and Blake have both been an awesome help to us. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to resolve any issues. Would and will use them again, as well as recommend to others.
Thank you for the 5-star review and for sharing your experience. It means a lot to hear that both our service and our customer care continue to meet your expectations. We work hard to bring a steady hand and consistent results every visit, and your words remind us that effort matters. -Ponder Pest Control
Outstanding experience with Ponder Pest Control. These guys are the real deal! Before starting treatment, Cory (the technician) gave me a full rundown of what he’d be doing, as well as detailed Q&A about the pests I’ve had problems with in my home. I’ve used other pest control companies in the past, who showed up with little more than a pump sprayer. Ponder showed up with a truck loaded with an arsenal of products and did a full perimeter spray around my house that went all the way up to the roofline. I’m really impressed with their attention to detail and customer service from quotation to service. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for the outstanding review! We’re thrilled to hear that Cory took the time to walk you through the treatment process and answer all your questions. Our team takes great pride in being thorough, using the right products and techniques, and paying close attention to every detail—from the initial quote through service. We truly appreciate your trust in Ponder Pest Control and your recommendation. We’re glad to have you as a customer!

Cory was so nice and professional. My boys thought his equipment was so cool. They want to look like him for Halloween now! We were very satisfied with our service. I do recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Cory made such a great impression. It sounds like he not only provided excellent service but also inspired your boys—that Halloween costume idea definitely made us smile! We'll be sure to share your kind words with Cory.
