What do recent reviews say?

Austin, Ken, Creon, Matt, and other staff members routinely earn high marks for professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge. Most jobs move fast, work gets explained clearly, and staff often follow up. One customer was promised metal barrier installation and received chicken wire instead; the company did not respond to cancellation complaints or requests to speak with a supervisor, which stands out sharply against the rest.

The company handles rodent removal, wildlife exclusion (raccoon, bat, bee), pest control for cockroaches and ants, and mosquito services. Many reviewers return year after year, suggesting confidence in consistency. Specific names (Austin, Ken, Creon, Matt, Nick, Morris, Jason) appear multiple times, indicating stable staffing and customer assignments.

Most visits go smoothly: technicians arrive on schedule, work thoroughly, and treat customers with respect. Named staff like Theopolis, Juan, and James earned specific praise for resolving roach and termite problems. However, a minority of customers report serious friction around service follow-up, contract clarity, and unexpected termination charges, with at least one reviewer disputing a $229 fee for a cancellation they claim they never requested.

Romay and his team earn trust through years of consistent lawn and pest work. Results speak loudly: grass stays green, weeds shrink, bugs disappear, and staff answer calls within hours. One customer's chinch bug experience soured them badly, citing zero effectiveness and defensive excuses instead of solutions-a real weakness in specialized treatments. Most others stay loyal for years.
