Tim was great, listened to everything i had to say about my problem, addressed the problem and explained everything very thoroughly when finished. I would definitely recommend Tim in the future.
Gabriel was friendly but professional, asked about any problems, checked the basement and proceeded check outside and discovered a yellow jacket nest in the front plantings. He treated same and checked the rest of the perimeter.
I received next-day service after entering relevant information into the company’s website. Scheduling the appointment was easy after that and the technician, Joe, was very well prepared and did a great job evaluating and addressing our yellow jacket problem. Quick and efficient all around!
Paul ask few questions about any issues we are having. He service outside of the house very carefully. He is kind, very good person. Even after the service he reminded to me that in case if you see any problem with bugs to call the company and somebody will take care it. Vinod Patel
We called Simply The Best when we had a wasp’s nest under a vent in our recently-purchased townhouse. They were responsive and available to come that same morning! Tim was polite, explained how the treatment worked, answered questions, and took care of the issue. We would absolutely use Simply the Best again should the need arise.
I had been trying to get rid of a hive of very angry bees for almost 3 months, and every time I thought I had succeeded, two or three days would pass and they’d all be back at work in the soffit of the shed where I keep my lawn tractor. And they had no intention of allowing me to mow the lawn. So finally I called…
