I called Preferred Pest control from Louisville KY because I found information about the type of bug in my home on their website. The pest control service I had been receiving in KY was good, but there was little information know about the type of infestation I had in my home. The lack of knowledge did not give me comfort that the extermination process was going to be successful. Sean was so informative and was kind enough to talk with me extensively on the phone about our specific pest issues. He also provided really helpful advice and guidance on the best approach to take.

We have been working with Preferred Pest Control for more than two plus years and they continue to exceed expectations. Jenny , in particular, always shows up timely and prepared. Our home in St. Joseph is a construction zone, which never slows her down. Jenny has even managed to eradicate those small ants that use to come around all year long. With Jenny’s work, we don’t see those pesky ants anymore, which allowed us to take back and enjoy our kitchen again. Thanks Jenny!
