Report
Professional guy who hustles. Called him up needing some help with roach eradication, told him over the phone what I was seeing and immediately identified the source of my contamination, the base of my toilet. Even told me to make sure I seal the screws that holds down the base of the toilet. Man was he right, it was full of them when I took off the plastic caps to seal it up. It's been a week since he visited, sprayed both restrooms and the base, bottom of the kitchen and the entire perimeter of the house. I've seen a bunch of dead ones since, but not one living one crawling around

Rafael was able to come out quickly when we had a problem with a wasp nest! He quickly took care of the nest and notified us of other pest issues to be aware of around the house. We appreciated his knowledge and communication and timelines of service - all at an affordable rate. We will be using him in the future for any other pest issues on our properties.

Report
The owner came out about an hour 1/2 after first contact. I had tried (2) other exterminator/ rodent control companies with one coming by with a sales pitch & no action. Im having family for Christmas & my place smelled of dead rat! He came by & after listening he immediately suited up head to toe & went under my house looking for the odor source. He found a dead rat & retrieved it. He also was willing for an additional fee to go up in the attic if necessary. Honest, quick, communicative, reliable. Excellent service & I will have his crew back to rat proof my place soon

My monthly pest control services with Expel Exterminators has been outstanding! Rafael's knowledge of pests is broad and helpful. Since May 2019 my monthly pest control services has ridden me of Spider webs on my home and fence line and has maintained it that way from month to month. My Ant and outdoor roach issues are no longer a problem. Expel Exterminators has been a great benefit to me and my family. Would definitely recommend Expel Exterminators services.
