Preferred Pest is wonderful! From the first contact with them, they were informative, professional and friendly. We set up an appointment and received a confirmation link and a reminder. Jenny was right on time. She was friendly and helpful. Jenny went into an insect filled rental home, took care of the problem and came out smiling..lol! The cost was minimal considering the problem. I would not consider calling anyone else and highly recommend Preferred Pest!
