These guys always do a great job.
Great service as always! Knocked down some wasps nests that were really dangerous for us to handle! Thank you Scout’s!
Excellent job.
Love the Service and The People. Good homesome customer service which is no more, but Scout Rise Above The Rest..
They do a very thorough job. They are always on time and very friendly.
We have been using Scouts Pest Control for 2 years in our commercial facility. They have gone above my expectations. They have responded quickly when we have a pest issue come up. I will be looking at expanding to the residential side for my home.
The exterminator was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about his job. Austin was quick and efficient and he knew exactly where to look to locate the problems. I would highly recommend this company and Austin to anyone.
I really am impressed by how professional Tim was and how he answered my questions as to the issues with insects. Tim did a excellent job on spraying my house. The best person I have ever had! Thank you Scout Pest Control
Scout pest control arrived on time, promptly started pest control for my house & yard. Nick was very polite, friendly & efficient and also understood my concern for my pets. Thank you!
Sam always goes above & beyond! We can always count on him to text us prior to coming & making sure the meeting time is good. He always makes sure we’re completely covered & gets anything we have asked! Ask for Sam!!
I highly recommend Sam !! I have used scout pest control for over a year now and Sam was the first guy to originally come out to service my home and I have requested him every time sense then. He provides top tier service every time. Sam is a super friendly guy and does an excellent job I can trust him to do the job…
I had called another company that was on my list that said they provided V or wasp removal… They came out and were very lackadaisical and basically just said that they couldn’t do it because it was on the second floor…. I called Scout immediately… They set up an appointment for the next day… The technician came…
The people at Scout's are friendly and efficient. I have the Silver plan. Spiders were a major problem. Constantly coming in under my front door and webs all over the porch and the eaves. I have not seen any now that Scout's comes on a regular basis.
Thank you so much Sam we had a wonderful experience came out was very friendly done a wonderful job very pleased with the service 💞🙏
Very professional as always. Never denied any request with Scout customer service at its best.
Very professional and easy to deal with. Great company.
I saw the Scout truck in my neighborhood and asked about getting rid of wasps ands ants at my house. Lance was so nice, came and looked and gave us a quote.
Wonderful service and customer service
Joe does a great job.
I live in the sticks and my home is completely wooded all the way around with little swamps in them so there's always going to be a few little creepy crawlers of some kind but I am so pleased with Scout. Joe is usually the technician who services our home, and he is excellent. He’s friendly, professional, and…
Scout has been my preferred pest control since buying our home over 4 years ago! Especially appreciate Brad and his attention to detail and willingness to answer questions about various pests, signs and potential pests! He’s a great provider and very appreciated. Thank you!

Scout has provided excellent through the years. Today’s technician was outstanding!
I love how he always lets us know he is on the way and how Scout/the technician communicates with us. We get the monthly service and they take care of it all!! Thank you for keeping us bug free!!! The best customer service around.
First time customer, showed up super fast. Treated inside and outside!!
My technician was Joe. He was very professional and nice and put me at ease right away. I'm very nervous meeting new people but he was really great. Very efficient. So happy I switched to Scout Pest control.
I called them reporting a terrible wasp infestation at 8:00 p.m. on a Thursday night, and they were at my house at 6:00 a.m. Friday morning to treat the wasp. Great experience with them.
Joe is the BEST! So happy to have him on our side!!! Your services are top notch and I highly recommend Scout.
Joe always does a great job inspecting our home.
Christian is outstanding! Excellent service every time ! Highly recommended!

We have no ants to bite little baby toes. Keeps all the babies, toddlers and children happy.
Outstanding Service!! From the initial appointment to the routine monthly services with Lance, it feels like a visit with family/ friends. Not just a generic appointment. We live out in the county, and our biggest issue was outside pests. No more. Lance has given us our outside living space back pest free! Give…
I can’t recommend Scout Pest Control enough! I have been using them for over 3 years and every technician that comes out is polite and professional.

Service tech was on time, notified me 15 min. Prior to arrival. Excellent job very personable. Would highly recommend this company to friends.
He was very quick and efficient but also made sure the job was done!
Scout goes above and beyond with their excellent service. They have made additional service calls to spray and kill underground yellow jackets and got rid of a hornets nest! We wouldn’t use any other pest control!!
I am so glad I reached out to Scouts pest control to have regular service set up. Sam came out for the initial visit and assessed my property helped calm my fears about bugs, explained the process of what he was going to be doing with each visit and what the goal was and how we can work together to make the bugs go…

Solid company that communicates very well. Never fails to ask if I have anything to talk about. I appreciate 🙏 the work ethic and the positive attitude I
Scout Pest Control does an amazing job! Frank always takes great care of our home.
We have used Scouts for many years now. The exterior treatment works great at keeping nature outside where is should live. The bait boxes do their job at keeping mice outside as well. We usually spray inside in the spring, and that's all we've ever needed! Returns for specific problems like wasps is a huge bonus!…
Fantastic company. Outstanding customer service. The technicians are very respectful, and prompt. They cleared our infestation in less than 3 visits
The whole team has been quick to respond to any issues we have had. Very personable and supportive. I refuse to live with bugs and especially spiders so when we started seeing them come around more scout came around more.
Chris was great! Explained everything and was quick!
Very friendly staff. Always do good job and cover all areas of the house.
Our pest control is always on time and very nice.
I have had some issues with Wasps around my house so I contacted Scout. I set up an appointment but I had to reschedule. Luckily when I called to reschedule I got directed to an associate named Ivy, she was excellent and very friendly. Now the wasps are no longer an issue. Definitely would use Scout for all my pest…
Frank was one of the best technicians so far outstanding job!!
Fantastic Service. From Sales, to warm customer service from the office, and exterminators possible. I know my home is always in good hands.
Reliable service, they were able to handle jobs other pest control companies won’t
