I've been working in the Pest Control industry for over 10 years now. I started off working for a few companies until I was able to start my own business.
I'm very thorough and clean. I take my time on any job to eliminate the problem properly and efficiently. I'll treat your home as if it was my own.
To eliminate pest problems my procedure is as follows:
Looking behind all major appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer)
Also in cabinets, closets and around baseboard heating and radiators.
Clogging up entry ways found where pests would come from.

Mike did a fantastic job getting rid of my bed bugs. I first bombed my house with double the dose they recommended and nothing happened. I never in million years thought I would get these nasty bugs. It took three treatments but by the 2nd treatment we were bedbugs free. Mike really knows how to locate and find these critters. Thanks

Mike was awesome! He showed up on time, kept us in the loop, and got rid of our mice problem quickly. He even wrestled with our stubborn dishwasher that was hard to pull out, and made sure to reinstall and realign it when he was done. Thanks Mike!

Mike is the best! We had a roach problem in our fridge and he was able to identify the source and took care of it very quickly. I would highly recommend!!

I had a great experience with Mike! He was incredibly thorough in handling my mouse issue—cleaning all the droppings throughout the apartment, setting traps, and walking me through what could be causing the problem. He answered all my questions patiently and made sure I felt informed and reassured. Super professional and helpful! Also, checked up multiple times which is very nice I would definitely recommend him to anyone facing similar issues.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices may vary depending on what kind of pest it is, the size of the home to be treated, and the depth of the infestation.
Most pests need to be treated two or three times before they are eradicated.
These are estimates. Call or text for more details.
Inspections: $60
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
New or existing customers all get treated the same way. I spend as much time needed in the home to find the source of the problem to eliminate it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took classes to get my pesticide license and learned how to eliminate pests properly.
I've worked for a few companies before starting my own business.
