Rick was great! He did a very good job checking out the entire house, eliminating problem areas, and helping with recommendations and solid advice. I would highly recommend Rick and ProGuard Pest Solutions for any troubles you're having. He'll make your problems go away!

Mice unfortunately aren't a once and done problem, but Rick has made the issue as painless as possible. Very knowledgeable, good value, and I don't feel like I'm getting scammed.
