Very knowledgeable and very prompt response. Honest and cost effective.
Highly recommend this company, very accommodating on timeframe. Came after working hours and resolved our issue. Not once but 3 times at different properties that we manage, one of which was a mice problem, one with tats and finally pidgins . Never had a problem since.Verified reviewerJob location: CT1110 Emergency Pest / Vermin Control Service

Solar panel bird proofing
I had a problem with pigeons starting to nest under my solar panels. Taking the Pest responded quickly and managed to fit the job of bird proofing the panels within the week. They did an excellent job, and for a fair price. I would thoroughly recommend them for efficient and professional work.Verified reviewerJob location: CT1010 Fumigation
