We started using U.S. Pest to help control summer mosquitoes which made it miserable to be outside on our patio. The regular spraying has helped significantly. Philip has been great in communicating his visits to us and answering questions.

This has been a great pest control service for our business and our personal home. They have demonstrated their commitment to addressing our pets control issues by servicing our business several times for a couple of months until the issue was resolved and still only charged us the regular monthly fee. I do recommend U.S. Pest.
