He cleaned up the nest as it fell to the ground and explained to me what I should anticipate afterwards with those wasp buggers! Astounding how this is done so quickly…

He sprayed the exterior of the house to prevent ants, mites, cockroaches etc and did a very nice and professional job. I am very happy with his service…
