Consultant and technician were early to the appointments, very thorough and the Consultant was very knowledgeable about deals and was able to breakdown step by step what to expect. Only thing I didn't like was I had to book a consultation instead of getting pricing over the phone. Had we not been able to afford the cost I would've hated wasting the Consultant's time and over the phone pricing could've avoided that.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I had a great experience with Arizona Pest Control. They have gone above and beyond for me, and I can't thank them enough. I had a serious scorpion situation, plus I thought I had a rat in my attic, and they were helpful for both. Craig especially impressed me with the scorpion situation - I would give him a million-star review if that was possible. He has made me a dedicated customer for life. I also can't say enough good things about Will. The staff has been respectful, on-time, friendly, and kind. Thank you, Arizona Pest Control!!!!
