Bug Masters technician Mufasa was thorough, professional, and enthusiastic. He always executes his service as required and pays attention to any request of the homeowner. I couldn't ask for more.
He was very polite and professional knew I had dogs so called ahead to let me know so I could put them inside. Introduced himself and went right to work asked if I seen an increase in any type of pest.
