We’ve been customers for several years and have been very pleased with their service and our results.
Stay away from this company. The worst experience I have ever had. I hired them for spider and after multiple round of trials (9 months) no improvement at all. My 9 months old was bitten by Spider multiple times we had to take him to doctor. Spiders and webs are all over my house, interior and exterior. Each time…
I use PPC to routinely keep pests around my home at bay. Consistent in keeping my home free of pests.
Andrew arrived 20 minutes before his scheduled appointment time. He called me & sent me a text to let me know the day before and the day of. These guys moved boxes out the way plywood, crates, they got every single nook and cranny in side and outside ! This is a new house we just remodeled and the bugs were coming…
Bryan put my mind at ease and I decided to sign a quarterly contract with Preventive because of his professionalism and patience completing the inspection and providing the services today! Bryan was on time, knowledgeable, super thorough, and presented with wonderful mannerisms! Thank you Bryan for the job well done!!
I greatly appreciate and depend on Preventive Pest Control, and am so grateful they have not sold out to another company . They respond quickly and have a professional office staff and technicians.
All the techs are so polite and considerate and we haven’t seen a single bug in months!
I have been using Preventive pest control for years and have referred others to them because they have always provided great service to me. Yesterday, Isaac arrived at my home and took extra care to treat the areas of my yard I was concerned with. While he was at my home, my elderly mother fell and I was unable to…
Wonderful to work with! They were accommodating to our needs and flexible with our crazy schedules. Where we live has lots of bugs and critters and having them service our home has brought us a lot of peace of mind. It’s also comforting to know that their products are safe for kids and pets. Glad to have them on a regular schedule for our home.
In addition to the services I noted above, I had wood work done on my home that was damaged by termites. Logan did the termite inspection, and I was sent a detailed report. He did an excellent job. Jesse and Michael came, inspected, and sent me a detailed report and cost to repair the wood that was damaged by…
I love Preventative Pest control. Clint & all the staff are very friendly, they listen well to my concerns & really want to help solve my Pest issues. I would recommend them 10X’s over. In a society that does not always have integrity in business practices makes me appreciate all the more the ones that do.
Great company with excellent service from their internal and external associates. I’ve worked with both internal employees Lauren and Angel requesting off cycle service calls and other inquiries and they accommodated my needs. The Technicians that service our home are very detailed and professional and always asked…
Today was my first time using preventative pest service and Brian was fantastic! He did the most through job of any pest control technician I have ever used. I will definitely request Brian to complete my bi-monthly service. Thank you, Brian for taking care of my pest issues. You’re awesome!!! Teri Baxter
Having Preventive Pest Control come service my home monthly was the BEST decision we’ve made. We always had ants HORRIBLY every summer. I mean, so bad they would come out of the drains in the bathroom and no matter what we did, we couldn’t get rid of them. A friend referred us a few years ago and we have been ant…
I was impressed with the professionalism and quality of work Brian did at our home. He was polite, attentive and thorough. He did not hesitate to go above and beyond what was needed to get the job done right. I hope he returns for future service.
Good people, Good service
Brian was awesome! He was knowledgeable, professional and really was patient and was so thorough. I love Preventive. Can’t imagine not using this company.
Do not wait to have Preventative Pest Control start like we did!!! We are now 6 month in and would normally have been fighting off ants like crazy in this heat and nothing! A neighbor strongly recommended Preventative Pest Control back in 2021 and I was to stubborn thinking I have this under control, but I just…
The rep who comes to our home is always courteous and respectful. They always ask if there are any problems that need special attention. I appreciate a call ahead from the company to remind me of my appt.
Regular service
Always on time and does a wonderful job. If we every have an issue, between services, they alway send someone out. 5 star service
Had a horrible mosquito problem and was referred to Preventive Pest Control and they took care of it with mosquito pots. Now all my neighbors and family use their services. Very friendly and communication is perfect on time and day of the service.
Very professional. They are helpful and do a fantastic job.
We have been using them for almost 10 years. The work is done professionally. Their product is very safe for human and animals (dog & cat).
We’ve used Preventive Pest Control for over 17 years. I don’t even have to treat my pets for fleas because our yard never has them. They’re very friendly and helpful.
Larry was great.
Elliott came out and was very thorough. He took the time to answer my questions and offer input. Very professional and patient.
I have been with Preventive Pest for more than two decades. They provide excellent bi- monthly service and respond immediately to any emergencies. I highly recommend their service!
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!
I have been using this service for two years now, they are very professional. They are proxy but come when we need and do a good job. They document when their workers arrive, and when they leave, they can tell how long the worker was on your property. I feel very safe knowing that the company monitors their workers…
The staff is always professional and courteous. We no longer have an ant problem!
Quarterly spraying both outside and inside our property for preventive maintenance since 2013. Ruben is highly professional and is very accommodating with any special areas requiring more attention. We always ask for him whenever we need reservice. Great company, highly recommended!
Gabriel was very professional and friendly. He explains the process so you can understand how the treatment works. I have recommended this service to our neighbors. We have had the initial treatment and first quarterly one. So far we are very pleased with them.
Great job as always
Technician Elliot was so nice really work on everything, inspected all ceilings to see bridges of them all over my yard !
I’ve used them for years. Very consistent.
Gabe was right on time and performed an extensive spraying and setting traps!
Great service and does a great job. Very attentive to our needs for spraying! Great company! Thank you Preventative Pest Control :) David & Peggy Carson
Great service all around!
This is what great service is supposed to look like.... always go the extra mile for their customers. I will use them forever
The technician Jovani telephoned when he was about 15 minutes out giving me time of kennel the dog and open the gate. He was thorough, efficient, and polite.
Joseph and Giovanni serviced my home today and they both did a great job! They were efficient, super friendly, and answered all my questions. It was a really great experience!
Your company has the best customer service. They listen and they resolve the problem. I worked with other company before and I wasn’t satisfied until I found your company and as soon as I called I feel that is it because the way that they answered to my call I feel that they understand me. Later on when I asked send…
Love Preventive and their associate that comes to my house is very very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. I have recommended Preventative to several friends that now also use their service
Sean did a great job today 06/16/2021. He was very cooperative and informative, polite and courteous. I would definitely request him for my next service appointment. Thank you! Lexie Orozco
Gave and all of the guys that come to my home. Have been great!
Very thorough. Even sprayed under all of the outdoor furniture.
Always a positive experience. They send me a reminder before coming out, they do a thorough job, very professional, very polite. The office staff are always polite and helpful as well. Preventive has serviced my home and 3 rental homes for several years now and I’ve been very happy with their service. I highly recommend them.
The service is great. They come bimonthly and are always professional and friendly. Gabe is fantastic and does a great job. He knocks down all the cobwebs and sprays everywhere. He is super detailed and listens to my concerns. I would like Gabe every time.
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.
Great fast service. I have used them for 2 years and not seen a bug of any description since using their service. I was having a major ant problem and it’s joy not to have those invasions.
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.
Great service.
We are very happy with their services.
They help keep the ants away during the crazy any seasons
Interior spray was out of control. Spray was all over the paint on the walls....
I don’t write reviews but I had to for Gabe! He is the best exterminator and provided by far the best customer service. I have a phobia for ants and he listened to my concerns and how bad I get when I see ants. He assured me he would fumigate thoroughly and ensure I can sleep at night. I will definitely keep using…
John Mejia was very professional and did a very fine job. He was on time and called to make sure it was okay to start the job. He is very nice and I would highly recommend him.
It has been fine referred them to 2 neighbors this week
John is the tech assigned to my account, and he is always friendly and professional. I’ve been using this service for years and I love the days they come because I know I will have ZERO (live) bugs at my house! Their spray is pet friendly too.
