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.

We are new customers of US Pest Protection. We vetted a few different pest protection companies and are VERY pleased that we selected US Pest! Adam was SO pleasant, knowledgeable and patient answering our many questions during the free inspection. And Jimmy, our pest/yard technician is THE BEST too – SO knowledgeable and polite. He knows everything about all pests – a wealth of knowledge! They are both tremendous representatives of this family-owned business, which offers a very extensive product offering for our pest control needs. Thank you US Pest! Terry & Julie
