The technician was friendly and knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. The treatment was successful. However, I do feel reassured that if I still see…

Once the weather turned cold, the mice felt it necessary to take refuge in my house! Jason/Viking responded and did an excellent job in locating areas where they could be coming in and set up a number of traps (and was successful). I particularly appreciated Jason's total professionalism and respect for my home.

Had a treatment for wasps. They showed up the same day I contacted them. 10 days later I still have wasp activity and called them several times for a re-treatment. Always say someone will be contacting me - they never do and I need to call back. Then they say they can schedule in about a week. Unacceptable. They are…

We have used Viking Pest Control twice recently, & each time we were impressed. Our problem was a stubborn infestation with yellowjacket wasps. Both technician specialists we had were very thorough, impressively so. Thank you Viking.

You came out to treat our house. A day after you were here we had a lot of small ants in our kitchen by our exterior window overlooking the kitchen sink. After 2 days I sprayed the window area and gradually the ants went away. We get an ant every once in a while. We haven't had this issue before.
