This is a local/family business. Not a corporate business. So they are honest and don’t try to sell you anything that you don’t need. They came out immediately and took care of the hornets for a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Provider response

Thank you Jon for the excellent review.

Had an issue with Yellowjackets under the siding right outside our back door. Never got a call back from another place. Called House Specialty and they had Rory out here within 2 hours. Took care of the situation and haven’t had an issue since. Thanks for your prompt service! Really appreciate it.

Provider response

Ty Stephanie for the great review. Give us a call if you have any other problems.

Rory is wonderful! We have been using House Specialty Pest Control for years and it’s never disappointed. We were having a spider and ant problem and Rory came out to spray. We haven’t had a bug since! Thanks, Rory!

Rory was timely, polite and informative. He walked around with us around the entire inside of the house and in the garage attic. It was pouring rain outside so he will return to treat the outside as soon as the weather permits.

Thank you steve for the excellent review. Keep jammin.

We've been using house specialty for over a decade across multiple properties. They've always been fair, attentive and do the absolute best work. They are not private equity and a true family-run business. If you use anybody else, you'd be crazy.

Provider response

Thank you TJ for the excellent review.

We’ve trusted House Specialty Exterminators and Rory for years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Rory is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped us successfully handle everything from ants and mice to carpenter bees. What really sets this company apart is their outstanding customer service—when we had a small re-infestation this year, Rory responded promptly, came back quickly, and retreated the issue at no additional charge. That kind of integrity and commitment to standing behind your work is rare these days. If you’re dealing with any pest problem, House Specialty Exterminators is the company to call!

Provider response

Thank you for the great review.

Had Rory come out to take care of a recent mice issue. He was very knowledgeable and identified where they were most likely getting in and a few problem areas in the basement. We have not had any trace of mice since he put the traps down. I also asked him to spray for spiders in the basement and it really kept the spiders down all winter. He did ask about coming out monthly, but wasn't pushy which I appreciated. I told him I would rather just have someone come every 6 months or just as needed, versus another monthly subscription service which I didn't want or need. I appreciate that they offer ala carte service, major perk in this industry,

Thanks for the excellent review.

Rory was super friendly and responsive setting things up over email. It was Rory who also was the technician on my appointment day. He was fast, efficient, and continued to stay friendly. Support this local family owned business, I’m glad I did!

This company saved me tons of fear and money! After a scam attempt from my current pest company House Specialty calmed my fears and had a simple solution to a small problem. Can’t thank that team enough for providing honest fair service with a family feel! Have a pest problem skip the door to door garbage companies and give House a call!!!!

Provider response

Thanks for the excellent review. Glad we could help.

I used House Specialty for a problem I was having with earwigs. Rory was extremely thorough. He told me to give it 30 days and if I still had an issue, he'd come back out but the results were immediate. It's been over 30 days and I haven't seen a single bug of any kind. My only regret is not calling sooner. Next year I will be calling the first time I see one.

Provider response

Thank you Alissa for the Awesome Review.

The first two sprays didn't get rid of the problem, but he kept coming back (without charge) until the problem was taken care of. We're about two months roach free now! I really appreciate him going the extra mile, and I'm DEFINITELY happy to not be dealing with roaches anymore.

Provider response

Thanks for the great review.
