John is terrific. His work is professional, timely and his communications are second to none. Oh, and yes, he eliminated a rodent issue we had in precisely the way he said he would. And within the timelines he set out. I can't recommend this company enough.
What great service came out the next day to take care of yellow jackets. He found another nest in the backyard & took care of that also. I can’t recommend Jonathan enough.
Jon was phenomenal! He came out promptly when we called after hours due to a bat friend flying around our house, did a whole inspection, and explained everything to us thoroughly! Though he didn’t catch the bat that night, we found him again first thing in the morning, and Jon was back out quickly and managed to catch the bat and safely remove him. We appreciate all your help!
I’d give Jonathan 100 stars if I could! Jonathan came out a few weeks ago to inspect our attic after our pest control company told us we had a bat issue. He came to do the inspection the same day I called! He explained the entire process thorough and was able to fit us in quickly to do the removal. His pricing was very fair and I’m confident that after meticulously inspecting and sealing every possible entrance point, there is no way they are getting back in. Jonathon is friendly, professional and an absolute joy to work with! He’s your guy if you need bat removal!
Jon is the best! Came out quickly on a Saturday afternoon and found an additional problem at the house. Highly recommend! Excellent job, thank you
