I used Preferred Pest Control this past Friday and I have to say I was pleased with their services! My technician was Jelyna Rives and her customer service was excellent, she was very polite and insightful! She sprayed for spiders and put gel down for ants and I haven’t seen either of the pesky pest at all since! I highly recommend Preferred Pest Control for all of your unwanted pest problems, you will not be disappointed!

I can't say enough good things about PPC. We have them come out quarterly to spray and put out rodent traps for prevention of pests. Very customer service oriented. They take the time to answer any questions or concerns. The technician that comes to our house is very contentious and does things carefully, based on what we request. I highly recommend them!
