Really bad mosquito bites and had them come several times to help. No change. Told rep I may change companies unless they can help and instead of apologizing right away he said "What are the other guys going to do?" and "Oh you're calling just to make a call huh?" Manager even tried to blamed me in an email instead…

We've used Preventing for over 20 years, at this horse and our previous one. Both houses had different issues and Preventive could handle it all. They are so responsive; which is exactly what you want when ants are crawling on your ceiling. Great service!

The mosquito bucket service worked great! Prior to using this service, we were being eaten alive by mosquitos. This year we only had a couple bites all season long. This service is money well spent and it is highly recommended for anyone having mosquito issues!
