We have been utilizing North Star Pest services for just about a year now. We started with an issue with mice and have seen such an improvement since they came out. The guys are so knowledgeable and patient and really take the time to go through everything to be sure all openings are sealed. We are now on their monthly plan and find it to be worth every penny. Don’t hesitate to call them.

Nick did an excellent job with pest control at my property. I have a 3 family and 2 units had signs of Mice. Nick was able to get out just 2 days after I called him, and he followed up 2 weeks later. As of now he seems to have eradicated the issue.

Our pest issue was fixed within a day and the other item that we never would have known about without having a conversation with Nick might have been missed. Love that this local business is always so honest and they are truly people oriented putting customers first!
