I have the quarterly service plan at my home and it covers just about everything! I also use them for my business, which is part showroom and part metal building with 6 or so open overhead doors. I don't want a customer to see a bug or mouse in the showroom and Preferred Pest makes darn sure that happens.

Will is always super friendly and efficient. He explains the whole process, what kind of pests we’re seeing and why, and even engages my 7 yo son.

I called, they sent out a very nice gentleman and he answered all of my questions, set the traps and voila, no more evidence of rats. Yuck. They were polite, and didn't try to oversell. Every time I have called them, they have prescribed a conservative approach and it has worked. Would definitely recommend.
