Overall great price. Every tech that's come to the house has been polite, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to and let them know our pest concerns. Highly recommend. Today's excellent tech was Mark. FYI - the front desk staff is easier to deal with through email. Hard to get someone to talk to once you have an actual account.

My technician, Jonalvin R, showed up on time, was courteous and professional, and did a great job when he was here.
Jonalvin was great in servicing our home. He sprayed for insects outside but I also asked him to check and bait all the mousetraps. He did a thorough job in the basement and garage and removed a deceased mouse! Thank you Jonalvin and Viking for your excellent service.
I have a seasonal plan so a technician usually comes to my home about once a month. All of the technicians have been very thorough and professional. My most recent technician Brian contacted me prior to his arrival to go over exactly what the service would be. I am very happy with the service.
I was very impressed with Steve J. professionalism, patience and addressing my issues. He also asked me to come outside after to ensure he treated all the areas that I had needed done. Before I signed off on the service call, he reiterated everything he had completed and asked if I was satisfied with his service.…
