Rick was very responsive and gave the house a thorough check. No harmful or destructive wildlife were detected, probably just possums. My dog is hot on their trail. Rick is very knowledgeable and gave me a good rundown on wildlife in our area and what to look for. If we have a future issue with critters, I’ll be sure to call him.

After up to 10 hours of speaking with various exterminator services from national brands to individuals, I decided to hire Rick. He disclosed his costs and his procedures at the first conversation and through texts giving very fast service. I spoke directly with him, not an appointment setter. I could tell him the status of my home and the problem and get his opinion and ideas. He assessed the squirrel situation accurately at the initial inspection and got results immediately. He gave me so much information on preventing problems in the future.

Thank you for your kind words Mary. Working with you was a complete joy and you were very helpful in assisting me with all your information. Glad we got the last one out before it decided to make it's own hole through an interior wall, or worse...die and smell horrible. She's gone and will never bother you again now!
