Ever since they took over for IPM, I have nothing but trouble. They increase the monthly cost, but don't provide acceptable level of service. They show up anytime they feel like it without notification. When they are here, it seems like they don't service the whole property like they are suppose to. When you try to…

It was great when i was services by Cavanaugh's Termite & Pest Services. But, its going south when Vikings Pest Control took over Cavanaugh and Vikings really suck with their services. They cant really treat anything and they dont care if you want to cancel the service. I would go with a different provider in my next run and would not recommend Vikings.

I have been a Viking customer for many years and have been mostly happy. There was a very large increase in my bill so I had to lower my service tier. When I called I found customer service has been outsourced to the Philippines. There is no local number to call. As soon as my contract is up I will be moving to a…

Front line workers are wonderful, however corporate is unresponsive! They have raised my prices multiple times in a short period and no one has retuned my calls to discuss. Update - Glad to have seen a response from the Viking Escalation Team and rectifying my issue. Thank you.

Paul Kaplan was the technician that came out to my house. He identified and treated ants at my back door. He re-baited several mouse stations around my property. Paul was extremely knowledgeable in pest control. He answered all my questions on ticks. Thank you Viking Pest control. Another great experience.

We have a service contract with Viking and have been very satisfied with their service. We live in an area where there could be mice and other pests and we don't want them in our house so Viking comes every quarter and checks all of the traps and refills the bait. They are always so nice and thorough and we are…
