Josh did an outstanding job at our home! Most of all, he did it with a smile. I am confident that the work he did (pest control) will definitely make a difference. He even pointed out things we had not noticed. Thanks Josh and Prime Pest Control.

Highly recommend Prime Pest control. Went out of the state for a month and came back to an infested house. With the first apply I rapidly noticed a huge decline on pests. After a week I hardly saw any. This is the second application they do in my home. I also love that this is eco-friendly. I don't have to worry…
