My husband and I had a great experience today with our technician, Rory! Incredibly sweet and noticed that the amount of Joro spiders we had was a lot more than expected, and was able to knock them all down and spray for us. We called them out for an initial yellow jacket issue, and it was really nice to see the gear they wore to keep the technicians safe.
