We have been using Scotty's Pest Control for our real estate transactions for almost a year now and they've been great! Prompt service, great communication, and thorough inspections. I recommend them to anyone, and would definitely use them at my own home if needed (luckily I haven't needed them, yet!)

We used to use a large, well-known company for preventative pest control. They kept switching techs on us and the service was not good. We switched to Scotty's and they are great. We have been using them for several years. Quick, efficient, knowledgeable (I ask a lot of questions), and friendly. Happy to support a local business!

I called them to have a termite inspection spray for spiders. They were able to come out in just a couple of days. The gentleman was very friendly, professional and answered all my questions. He did both services in a very timely manner and at a very reasonable price. Whenever I need this type of service I would…
