Chris does an excellent job for us. I would trust him to treat even the inside of I wasn't there. Very courteous and truly cares about what he does and his client. We highly recommend him. I've turned down others that were cheaper because we trust him!

The communication with this company leaves much to be desired. They have reps come out and provide inaccurate service details. Also, my follow up visits were inconsistent or non existent. I had to call repeatedly and speak with a manager to get things scheduled, and even then there was a problem.

Dave did a very thorough exceptional job. He hit the perimeter, all the doors, and rooms in the house. Along with the perimeter, garage, and knocking down spider webs. I’m very happy with my service. He is a consummate professional and really knows his craft and explained it well. I look forward to my next service.

When I signed up for service, I specifically requested that the technician call before arriving so I could bring my dogs inside. That request was not honored. On the day of my first scheduled treatment, I received no call. I only became aware someone was on my property when I heard my dogs barking. When I went…
