5-Star Pestimonials
We had issues with lots of yellow jackets in our yard and were worried about them stinging us anytime we were outside. We called Fox Pest Control on Wednesday and had a wonderful technician, Gregg, at our home to treat the yellow jackets on Friday morning! From the first call with Calder, we were able to get a clear plan to not only remediate the yellow jackets now, but over the next year, along with other pests like ticks, fleas and spiders. Gregg, our tech, called 30 minutes before to let us know he was en route -- right within the 2-hour window provided too -- and went right to work doing the treatment, cleaning up spider webs and debris. He was fast, efficient, professional and very knowledgeable. Also, as it's a pandemic, it was so nice to see a tech arrive with a mask worn properly and giving six feet of space without me asking, something I greatly appreciated for safety and showed great respect/professionalism. The pricing, quality and care given to our family was remarkable, I will be using Fox for any future needs and I cannot recommend them more highly!
Gretchen Fitzgibbons
Greg was great! very knowledgeable and willing to check all spaces for mice/rodent activity. Placed the proper traps as well as sprayed for spiders/insects in my crawl space as well as main living area and exterior of my home and garage. He even brushed the whole exterior clear of any webs and applied tick/ant granular to my mulch and grass areas. They will come back in 14days to check the progress. I Would defiantly recommend Fox Pest Control to anyone with an pest issue.

We've been using Fox Pest Control for about a year now. Our technician is Emilio **** and he is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he always on time, he's courteous enough to call when he's 10-15 minutes away to make sure we're ready when he arrives. He's extremely well versed in his area of expertise, and is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure our needs are met. He is highly recommended!

Fox Pest came to our location on the 8th of January. Keith Calow was the Tech. He did a very professional job. He explained what he was going to do before hand. When completed he then explained the results. He did a great job. Looking forward to his return in 3 months.
