Magic City Pest ControlShout out to Terrance, he's the best. Professional, knowledgeable and he does an amazing job every time he services my cabin. I live in the middle of the woods and have had zero pest issues using Magic City. Great people (like Terrance) and great service.
Cook's Pest ControlThey are an easy company to want work with. I don’t see any bugs so they must be doing it right!
Good Neighbor Pest ServicesSteve and his team were very helpful. They gave very wise information in how to remove a raccoon easily before moving to the big guns. This company is very family friendly and I highly recommend them.
IRON CITY PESTIf you aren’t using Iron City pest you aren’t using the best. Kolby is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about his work. I will not have pest control done by anyone else as long as Iron City Pest can service my house.

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.
