I have really enjoyed my experience with Arizona pest control especially with Chris J. They come when they are scheduled and make sure to text a head and give updates if they are delayed. And the spraying works! At the most I see one or two spiders in my house but no other bugs in the house or near the perimeter. I feel safe when I get my house sprayed. Chris J is a warm person to talk to and always answers my questions.

Austin and Erin from Arizona pest control are incredibly efficient, polite, and courteous of all of our things in our house. They went above and beyond make sure that they asked if we had any animals so that we could verify their safety and make sure that nothing was put where the dogs could get to it. They were very patient when it came to questions that we had and they informed us in a understandable to way.if you’re going to have any type of pest whether it be raccoons or roaches, bedbugs or ticks, call Arizona pest control if you really want them gone for good and For a good price these guys aren’t looking to rip you off. They’re looking to get rid of the pest and better your quality of life. Thanks again does appreciate you being so nice. I don’t leave reviews unless it’s really good or really bad so much to say something about the service we received from them.

Arizona Pest Control Technician Jonathan did a super job installing the Sentricon termite bait stations on my property. Jonathan was professional, and strategic in the placement if the stations. When he completed the installation, the stations were well hidden. My property was left neat and orderly. Thank you Jonathan, Cla McNutt

My mother and I have had Arizonas pest control services for 4 to 5 years now. They have always been a reliable pest controlService. They keep up with our 3 month pest spray around the house and tend to any animal/bug problems whenever we make the call. They are also very generous to long term costumers. They don’t overcharge unnecessarily. I highly recommend their services if you need long term care:)

They offered me a free inspection, as I have been seeing sewer roaches, they suggested we buy some drain cleaner and didn't try to upsell us. I called another service, who immediately wanted to charge me 300 without even coming out to inspect! These people are honest and professional!

Craig Civitella of AZ Pest Control has been providing excellent service for his company AZ PEST Control. He is friendly, competent and thorough in his work. He observes the activity at the bait stations, makes bait changes and shares what he is seeing with me. I used to have a problem with rodent droppings on my back porch, but not anymore thanks to AZ PEST Control. I highly recommend Craig and AZ PEST Control.

Arizona Pest Control helped me immensely with a mouse problem recently. My budget is very tight and they were able to resolve the issue with very reasonable prices and provide recommendations to prevent further issues saving me thousands of dollars. Todd was the technician on the job and he is great at his job! I highly recommend this company and I will certainly be calling them again for any pest control needs I have.

We have had Arizona Pest Control for probably 15 years. We have both the termite and bug contracts. We have been extremely satisfied with them. Chris J, our bug tech, is so pleasant to deal with, always on time if not early, and very thorough. We seldom see bugs in our yard. Chris is excellent about being mindful of our dog.

Our technician did a great job. He showed up on time, was respectful of us and our property. He answered all of our questions and concerns, told us what to watch out for if needed and even had a checklist of things that needed to be done before he left. He was friendly, knowledgeable and left the work areas clean. Glad to come back to Arizona Pest Control! We found that their prices are fair and competitive. All staff we had interaction with on the phone were a big help & we let them know we appreciate their efforts. There’s a reason this company has been around for as long as it has. Plus, we wanted to give our business to a family-owned business and not some Corporate Entity. Kudos to AZ Pest Control.

Arizona Pest Control is by far the absolute BEST pest control company I've ever used. We originally used them in the height of monsoon season in Tucson to wage a LOTR-esque battle against the scourge that is bugs. The results are fantastic! I imagined we'd see fewer bugs, but the service went well beyond: we saw almost NO bugs. It was pretty incredible. We then hired them to eliminate the mice/rats we saw.The rodent service was, well, killer! We went from seeing a few rats a day to absolutely none within a few weeks. That's all one needs in a rodent service. I doubt anyone else could do it better!AZPest: thank you so much for all the work! Y'all rock!

Since Arizona Pest Control is family owned, customer service is very high. Formerly for 17 years I used Northwest Exterminating until they were purchased by a conglomerate when customer service went to abysmal; moved to Dorado Exterminating since they were family owned and customer service was very high but they have been bought by a conglomerate and customer service became abysmal, thus with Arizona Pest Control now.
