Ty is so patient and knowledgeable, I still have a lot of stuff to get rid of and I know that poses an issue with reaching all areas that need to be sprayed. He’s always super nice and I appreciate his kindness. One more treatment to go! Definitely recommend Simple Pest Management and Ty.

My technician Mike was friendly,professional and made feel confident in his work and knowledge of his job. He's coming back k in 2 weeks and am looking forward to seeing him again. He called me 10 minutes out and was right on time. Because of Mike I would use them again and would refer them to my friends.
