John was very accommodating about coming out today, after I just called this morning.  He was very professional, he explained the habits of carpenter ants, and took a lot of time with the inspection, looking for any possible nesting areas, even down in the woods below our deck (found some!).  He also located some rotting wood on the underside of our deck that may have drawn the ants.  I was very pleased with his work and his professionalism.  I will definitely call him again if we have a pest problem.

John does a great job. He is very conscientious about the services he provides. If you by chance have any type of problem in between services, he will get you worked into his schedule as soon as possible.



This is a family-owned business, and John is the owner. Since you are working with the owner, he makes sure all is correct.



We have used Focus Managemeny since we moved into our home three years ago and recommend him highly.

Did a great job.  Very responsive, came numerous times, always on time, work performed was excellent.  The price was as quoted. Took pictures beforehand of areas we could not see, showing the openings.  Very knowledgeable and readily shared his knowledge.  Always cleaned up everything after he was finished, very neat.

We were having some issues with bugs, especially roaches, in our home.  Focus was recommended by a friend and we gave them a call.  They scheduled a visit about a week later.  John from Focus Pest came out and spent a few hours going through our home, garage, and perimeter applying green bug spray on the inside and more potent spray on the outside.  He explained everything that he was doing and told us what to expect in the next few days once the sprays began doing their work. 
John was very professional.  He even tolerated our three crazy kids and never got frustrated.  We highly recommend his company for pest services.

John did an excellent job. He is very knowledgeable and courteous and shares information with the customer about what he is doing and what's in the sprays, powders, etc. We called him earlier in the week and he was able to come out on the weekend. He stayed for about 3 hours to make sure he did a thorough job. Everything he uses is botanical based, so you don't have to worry about harmful chemicals in your home. He has excellent customer service. He did a multi-step process to knock em out quickly, which we really appreciate. We have seen a great improvement in the few days since he came to our home. 

I highly recommend his services to anyone needing pest control. You won't be disappointed.

I was impressed that the first time I called Focus, they came out within 2 hours. The owners (a really nice married couple) came out together. John got rid of my bee problem and also explained any potential bug issues that were around (i.e., carpenter bees). He explained all of the bugs, the damage they could do, and what services could protect my home. I felt informed but not pressured to buy any services. 
I called back a few weeks later to book quarterly maintenance. 
What I love about Focus: They use only humane traps (they release mice and such back into nature), their chemicals are all perfectly safe for my toddler and my dogs, and they make sure to lock all gates and doors behind them (you never feel like you have to check the whole house when they leave). That's really important to me since I have small dogs and a child. I also love that they take the time to explain everything that they did and what could happen (like how bugs would be driven out from the walls). 
I am very very happy with their service and I love having an exterminator that I know I can trust.

John was professional. He was on time for both the house eval and scheduled work. He finished on time with minimal disruption. The work was well done, improved the appearance of my home and I am now confident critters will not be coming into my home!!

The service worked really well. I only used them because I had something loose in the basement. He came right out and did a good job. I liked him. He took care of the problem. He just set up on time and could not be more courteous. He is a good guy. He is a small company, but he was very thorough. He was very clean. His truck is well-marked and he was very professional.

John is the owner of the company and is the person who not only answers the phone but personally performs the work at your house.  This gives you confidence that the expert is performing the work as opposed to be handed off to someone with less experience. John and his wife worked together as a team - they were very thorough and very personable.  I needed overall pest control services and their platinum program appealed to me because I have a serious carpenter bee problem and I was tired of trying to kill them myself.John came in and took care of everything - killing the bees and sealing the holes.  If I see any more, I can call and he will come out right away to address - what a relief.  I can now set up my deck to enjoy for the summer. John was VERY knowledgeable about all things bug related and I am extremely pleased with the personalized service.

I can't say enough good things about Focus Pest Management. They handle both our quarterly pest control and our lawn care (fertilization/weed treatment every other month, annual aeration and re-seeding). John is very thorough -- he is happy to look over any areas of concern with me and answers any questions I have. He's been handling our pest control for two years now, and there have been a couple times we spotted bugs in the house (to be expected based on where we live), and he came back out to re-treat, no questions asked, no charge for the visit. He also has taken our lawn from virtually all weeds to luscious and green in that same time -- our neighbors now joke that we are trying to start a golf course. His rates are very reasonable (actually less than what we were paying for a larger pest control company, especially when you factor in that Focus covers more pests and re-treats for free). John always asks for our feedback and is always looking to provide the best service possible. He's very polite, and I feel that he is very honest and concerned about his clients' satisfaction. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

John is amazing.  He has been doing my exterminating for about 6 months and was here a couple of weeks ago.  Last week, I noticed an influx of odorous house ants (I only know the name because John told me).  Called him on Friday and he was here today to spray inside and out.  When I spoke to him last week, he knew exactly what areas around my house were home to bugs...and exactly what he had done to get rid of them.  He works mindfully.  He didn't have to look up the information.  To talk to him you'd think he had an advanced degree in entomology.  He is truly on top of every problem and will come back if the issue isn't resolved. He will also inform you of everything you need to know about the particular service he is performing and what follow-up is required.
And guess what...he actually answers the phone...an anomaly in this day and age.

We have been using Focus Pest Management for a year and a half, for all our pest prevention needs.  John is very responsive and comes back as many times as necessary if there is a particular pest problem.  We had some ants in the kitchen and one of our bathrooms that were eliminated by persistent treatments inside and out, finding many colonies and making sure they did not survive.  John also took care of the carpenter bees that wanted to drill their holes in our back deck.  If you want friendly and reliable service, you should hire Focus Pest Management!
