Austin was great - he responded to my deer removal request immediately and had the deer out of my property within 1.5 hours of my call. Amazing customer service. And PJ and team in the home office were great to deal with.

My regular technician was on vacation. The technician sent to pick up the dead rodents was great. I had seen 2 dead ones but he carefully checked the entire basement & found a 3rd dead rodent. He even pushed some dirt back into a hole under the basement steps & told me to makes sure I told my regular technician what he had done.

These guys are the best. Friendly and prompt. I’ve been using them for 4+ years(wish I didn’t have to). They even made a great recommendation for a contractor to assist with some repairs related to our squirrel issues.

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
