I was a loyal customer of American Pest Management from 2011 to 2024, across three different homes. That’s over a decade of uninterrupted service, consistent payments, and great interactions with their technicians, who I want to be clear are absolutely excellent. Every one of them was professional, courteous, and did great work. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the administrative side of the business, which has gone drastically downhill since the company was bought out around 2020. Wh

Hi Maiah, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear that you've had a frustrating experience and regret that we missed the mark here. Your business is important to us, and we would love the opportunity to correct this. <br>Please contact our office and provide the name on you

We recommend using Golden Pes

Wow! Thank you Dustin!
Joseph went above and beyond. I pulled up just as he was leaving and asked if he could take care of the inside of my home before he left and he happily agreed with a smile. Not only that, he took care of my storm shelter without me even asking and made sure to put extra traps in my garage. Thank you again so much!
Our technician is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Our pest situation is definitely under control thanks to them. I appreciate that we typically have the same person each time for our routine service and that they notify us ahead of time when they're coming. Would highly recommend Plunkett's!
