I have few bugs if any...not seen them in years. If I have a specific problem outdoors like aphids, it is taken care of immediately. My dog is safe; the servicemen are polite and efficient.

I found Preventitive Pest Control on Facebook and thought I would give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised, they have serviced my home on four occasions already. They come every two months and I have had no problems even during the rain. I highly recommend Preventitive Pest Control.

We are always notified in advance before they arrive. If we’ve had recent issues with ants , each rep always gives us helpful hints and some supplies to combat the problem. Very courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. We are very happy with their service.
