I believe it was Matt who came to my house on Saturday. He was very cordial and focused on his duties of checking all of the termite traps.
Jacque was on time to my house based on our appointment time. He did a thorough job after he explained what he was going to do today. Notified me when he finished . would recommend him and the Bugman for all your pest needs.

I’ve been with The Bug Man for several years and have been very satisfied with their service.
We have been most pleased with the excellent service, The Bug Man has provided. They are very professional and always pleasant to do business with.
I’ve had a termite contract with The Bug Man for over 30 years. I have the in-ground system which is inspected twice each year. As I wasn’t home for the last inspection, the technician texted me before he arrived at my home and afterwards to let me know he was finished, and also the results of the inspection.
The office workers and techs are phenomenal. Polite and pleasant to deal with. And, importantly, they come when called.
System works good . Service on time and friendly.
The bug man, Mr. Tony is very nice and knowledgeable. They come as often as you need them. They are affordable and make it easy to pay for their services. Never had a pest problem. They are pro pest. They rarely need to come after there is a pest problem. I highly recommend them.
They do a thorough job. Put ant poison around traps to kill the ants so the termites would go to the bait.
Everyone real polite and explains everything to you
They are very professional and do a great job!

I have used the Bugman services since 1980 and I sure do miss Paul but the rest of the family has pulled together and keeping it trucking. I think they do excellent work and have fair prices and willing to give you alternatives if you can’t afford, what’s on the book.
So far I’ve only dealt with them this year, but all the staff has been super helpful, and accommodating! They report I have no signs of termite activity and refilled bait stations. Peace of mind.
