I recently used LCS Pest Management for an inspection and preventive application, and the experience was excellent from start to finish! Booking was simple—he responded to my request very quickly, making the process seamless. Ahead of the appointment, he confirmed his arrival time and even answered some of my rookie questions via text, which I really appreciated.
On the day of service, he arrived on time and was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He thoroughly answered all my questions, never making me feel dismissed or rushed. Instead, he walked me through everything, helping me understand where and how my home might be vulnerable to pests. It felt like I was along for the process rather than just a routine service.
Since this was a preventive application and our home didn’t have any visible pest issues, I can’t yet speak to results—but I feel confident that we’ve taken the right steps to keep it that way. He provided clear guidance on when the treated areas should remain vacant for adults, children, and pets, which was helpful.
Additionally, he offered a long-term plan that is both reasonably priced and well-structured. He was upfront about what was and wasn’t included, which I appreciate. His knowledge of the area was also reassuring. He pointed out that our proximity to large outdoor spaces with varied vegetation could increase the likelihood of pest issues, making prevention even more valuable.
Overall, the experience was super easy, clear, and professional. If you’re looking for reliable pest management with great communication, fair pricing, and a knowledgeable technician, I highly recommend LCS Pest Management!

Mr. Shuford did an excellent job taking care of my issue. Since his visit, I have not had an occurrence. He was able to educate me on his process and what I need to look out for. He discussed expectations and results. I will be sure to have him come back to do a check up next season.

Devon was extremely helpful. Carefully took the time out to assess the issue (from inside and outside the house), explained the problem, and talked through the treatment plan. He then treated the necessary areas to eliminate the issue. Extremely professional and a great value for the services provided. Would definitely recommend LCS!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Final pricing for services may vary based on the level of infestation, coverage area, and/or the expectations of the customer.
Most pricing can be established remotely by answering a few questions, providing a physical address of the location and an email address for which to send the service agreement. In some instances, an onsite inspection may be required to provide an accurate quote for services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It all starts with a conversation. Identifying and understanding the problem is the very first step in the process of working with a new customer. Knowing how the pest issue is impacting the customer (emotionally, financially, physically, psychologically) helps me to tailor a solution that fits their specific pest problem.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After my 7th year of service I became eligible for the designation of Associate Certified Entomologist. This is a designation offered by the Entomological Society of America to personnel that have been in the industry for a minimum of 7 years (5 now). I achieved the designation on my very first attempt and it remains one of my more prized achievements.
