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!

Preferred Pest Control is absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, their team is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. They’ve been handling our pest control needs, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Their technicians are punctual and thorough, always taking the time to explain what they’re doing and answer any questions we have. It’s clear they genuinely care about providing top-notch service and ensuring our home/business stays pest-free.
