Jenny serviced the outside of our home, for her first time with us, she was very thorough!! She sprayed, put out granules and even cleared old wasp nest from a few of our outside lights. The other technician were never this thorough! We hope she services our home again!

The guys at Preferred Pest Control are reliable, professional, friendly, communicative, and prompt. We reached out to them for termite prevention and found their plan to be reasonable, affordable, and smart. Thank you, Gavin and crew (wish I could remember the name of the young man who actually did the prevention treatment, because he was super nice).
