About

I bring pride, integrity, and personal attention to every job. I handle pest inspections, all pest control, bed bug extermination, outdoor mosquito and pesticide applications with the same care I would in my own home. I’m known for being reliable and honest, and I don’t consider any job complete until you’re completely satisfied. You’ll always know who’s showing up, who’s doing the work, and who’s standing behind it. If you’re looking for a pest control professional who treats you like more than just another stop on the route, let’s talk about how I can help protect your home.

Vernon was very responsive and knowledgeable. He did a very thorough job checking to see if he was able to remedy the wasp issue. It has been almost a week and I haven’t seen any return.

Extremely satisfied with Vernon’s services. My experience reflects the sentiments of the previous reviews. He serviced one of my rental properties and he was extremely professional with me and my tenants. Took care of the problem same day. Explained the process thoroughly and went above and beyond the scope of work. His pricing was more than fair. I will be using him for all pest control needs at my properties in the future and would be recommending him for friends and family.

When I contacted Vernon, he showed within 1/2 hr. Luckily he was able to schedule me between his previous calls. Very professional when he arrived, investigated my entire home and placed poison in key spots being mindful of children and pets. I’d gladly contact him for future service.

I couldn’t have been happier with the experience I had with Vernon. He responded to my initial message within minutes and was at my house to take care of the issue in less than 24 hours.
What really stood out was his transparency. He was very clear about how he’d approach the job and even helped us identify how the bed bugs likely entered the house so we could prevent it in the future. He was great with our dog, the pricing was very fair, and most importantly, he was honest about the extent of the infestation. He let us know a second visit wasn't necessary since it wasn't an extreme case, which we really appreciated. If you want someone who is professional, punctual, and high-integrity, hire Vernon!

Details: 3 rooms • 1 bed • 1 couch • 1,000 - 2,000 sq ft • Yes, I can temporarily vacate the property for a few days
