Clear defense pest control corey and patrick Great service Patrick and Corey came today for our monthly treatment. They provided a great service, made sure my questions were answered and did axtra treatment in the kitchen upon my request. Really appreciate the timely and excellent service, and the patience they show to explain everything.
An excellent job was done by my technician, Randall Pena, today. I am very pleased as usual.
In less than an hour from my original call, they had inspected my property and resolved my carpenter bee issue. Doesn’t get much better than that.
Jeremy has a dozen years of experience and really cares about his customers and the quality of his work.
Tavian Boyd is our pest control technician from Bulwark Exterminating. Tavian is very punctual, attentive to the areas that need more coverage, never rushes with his treatments. Tavian is extremely thorough when he treats our house. We highly suggest asking for Tavian if you choose to have your pest service performed by Bulwark.
