They arrived when they say they'll arrive. Usually within an hour of the scheduled time. They will reschedule when I need them to do so. If I need them to come before noon, they will come before noon. The technician also alerted me to a hidden armadillo hole that I haven't spotted yet. ( The price below ics per quarter)

Treatment varies each time and quality. Rarely does the same person return. They need to do a more consistently quality of treatment.

This team is easy to work with and they are always kind and courteous when we speak with them. We have used their service for 3 years and whenever there is even a slight sighting of an insect - they have been at our house within 24 hours (even as little as 2 hours). Our sightings of insects are minimal and it is all due to the great work this team provides. Very thankful for them.

not impressed. Must have been water in the can, because the bugs were still around weeks later. Didn't even go in all of the rooms and closets, check for cracks or treat the outside they way they said they would.

Insector was very professional and thorough, and informed us that we had no termite problem. Said house was apparently last treated with chlordane, which has an extremely long life.
