What customers said about general wildlife removal
Stacey was awesome! Quick, professional and was happy to answer my questions. Great service from Holpers
Tanner, filling in for Houston, was personable and professional. He also followed up on several concerns while he was here!
STL Pest Control took care of a major infestation in our yard. They communicated in a timely manner. Joe, our technician, was kind, professional, and very skilled at the work that needed to be done. Thank you!
I had an issue come up out of nowhere and the very next morning Rottler had a field tech out to my house. Larry D went above and beyond. He was friendly and explained how to prevent the issue from happening again and eased a lot of my worries. Will definitely call again if I ever need to!
Tyler was friendly and answered all my questions. Very satisfied with the service.
Cat inspected the downstairs basement and removed 1 rodent. She inspected the outside and we applied some copper mesh to another opening that might be contributing to the infection. Cat sprayed, and replaced rodent boxes. Hopefully this will take care of the rodents entering.
