Josh met my client and I for a pest inspection on short notice and for the most reasonable price I’ve been able to find EVER in my time as a realtor. His attitude and knowledge were top notch and his inspection, very thorough. Highly recommend and will be referring to all our future clients as an awesome resource to find, prevent and remove pests.
