Report
Avoid this company. Salesman is great, service is extremely poor. Will not do a proper job. Lied about time spent at home; My ring cameras do not lie. They said they have GPS on the truck and it shows the truck was there an acceptable amount of time. What my camera show is the truck sitting out front for a while, then the technician getting out, getting the equip and spending about 3-4 minutes away from the vehicle, then returning, and sitting in the vehicle for another few minutes and departing. (My property is not that small) Not accountable for the poor service in any way. When I called to question

I'm so happy with the service we received from Arizona Pest Control. I was contacted immediately by Brianna to set up a date to have them come out and inspect our new home. Anthony was SO kind, helpful and professional. The estimate I received was beyond reasonable. I was even given a schedule for the next year so there's no work on my part. Such a fantastic business to deal with. I'm just beyond pleased!! Thank you SO MUCH for everything! I'm so glad we found you!
