Our technician Cesar Mercedes is always professional, courteous and knowledgeable, and gets the job done.
I am having a hard time reaching anyone! I've called and spoke with "customer service" which is an answering service. They do not know how to help and said someone would call and never did. I've left customer service emails (see pic) and days later it's still not resolved. No one will call!!! We have ants and they come and "treat" but they never go away.
