Miguel is the best. He always texts me before coming to my home. He always reads my notes and knows what I need. We usually take a few moments to talk about family and vacations.

Great pest control company. I used them several times throughout the years and they shore up on time and take care of the job. Very happy to recommend them
I have been using Thrasher for years for regular pest control and when we moved Damien came in and quickly solved all our issues. He was courteous and was insistent on following the beat practices of the company, going so far as to not enter the house without shoe covers. The professionalism and results mean Thrasher has a customer for life.

Raul was friendly, professional, informative and easy going.

Javier was great and our hero! We have a lot of spiders around our home, and we need help. Javier helped!

Thrasher Termite is wonderful! They are always responsive and thorough.

Their technician, Raul, has always been professional, courteous, on time, helpful, answers questions, and always polite.
Thrasher and JP are great. JP always texts me when he’s on his way and again when he’s finished to provide any updates.
We had rats in our attic and Christian was honest, friendly and explained everything throughly. No scratching noises the first night!
