Scotty's Pest Control

I have used Scotty’s Pest Control for as long as I can remember. Always great service and friendly techs. I highly recommend not only for pest control but also hauling away items too big for me to handle. And Arthur is the best!

Plunkett's Pest Control

As first-time homeowners, finding mice in our house was the last thing we wanted to deal with. Dylan came out right away, put together a clear plan to take care of the issue, and helped us feel confident that future problems could be prevented. Highly recommend!

Scotty's Pest Control

I've had Hunter and Albert with Scotty's Pest Control out a couple times so far and the service has been excellent. On-time, thorough, and took extra time to address my specific pest concerns. Very happy with their work. I also like the idea that this is a small local business vested in keeping their clients happy.

Plunkett's Pest Control

This is perhaps my 5th time using Plunketts, but I think the first at my current address. My tech, Brandon, was communicative, on time, and incredibly helpful. We had stinging insects last fall make their way into our house, and he walked through all of the areas of concern with me, telling me what happened and how… Read full review

Scotty's Pest Control

Fast, friendly, efficient service. I’ve had other pest control places spray before while renting and they use stuff that I usually have to wipe a film of away after a month or so, and having animals that frustrates me, but when buying my first home, I used Scotty’s pest control and didn’t have to worry about any of that.

Plunkett's Pest Control

Dylan Schultz was very professional and showed up when he said he would be at my house to talk over my concerns. I had an appointment with another company last week for an estimate and on the day of the appointment they never bothered to show up or call. I am very pleased now that they did not show as I look forward… Read full review
