What customers said about spider extermination
Pioneer Pest Services Inc.Great company and service tech Gregory. We have had them for 8 yrs and Greg is knowledgeable, proficient and always on time. I would give them a 10 rating.
He listened to every concern I had and went above and beyond arises was very great at explaining all the process and also very good at explaining the things that he was doing as he went through everything.
Truly Nolen Pest & Termite ControlWe have been having issues with roaches, ants and more recently spiders around our houseplants. Oskar and David took care of our service but Oskar has taken care of our place before and whatever he did, worked before so we decided to go woth Truly Nolen again.
Ben and Julius were our pest controllers. They were direct and forward about what areas of the house they were going to investigate and spray. They gave us status updates as they were making their way in and out the house. At the end, they gave us a summary of everything they did. They were very easy to communicate with. Thank you Ben and Julius.
