I'm sure he's great at what he does, but we had scheduled a time for an extermination and he failed to show. He called back 3 hours later and said he was no longer interested in the job. So 1 star for commitment and follow through.

My husband and I have been customers of Ant Man Pest Control for 6 years now and have always had positive experiences. Our house has been treated for carpenter ants, carpenter bees and yellow jackets successfully. In the rare case when Herb has needed to return (in the case of a very persistent carpenter bee who was chewing up a specific spot on our porch), he’s been responsive to our calls and prompt in coming out to treat the area. He’s friendly, honest and reasonably priced. We highly rec
We started with Big Blue Bug a year ago this past November. We started with deer mice and and then had a few rats due to an infestation in our neighborhood. I will say from day one it has been the best experience to help get rid of this issue and to keep maintaining the issue. Today Zach came and did his complete service inside and outside. He called my husband to give an ETA of his arrival time which is very helpful where I work from home. He came in and was just so nice, polite and knowledgeab

Thanks for sharing the Big Blue Bug love, Iva!
We’ve been living in our cottage for the past seven years. Ants, carpenter ants, spiders, mice and more mice. You name it, we’ve had it. We’ve put down traps, sprayed and we’ve tried exterminators. Then we called Big Blue Bug. Mike Cash and his crew takes the time to thoroughly go through our property as well as answer any of our questions. They take their job very seriously. We opened our cottage this past April and for the FIRST TIME EVER since owning the property: No mice. No insects

Thanks for sharing the Big Blue Bug love, Daisy!
Our lake house had mice and wasps, not to mention mosquitoes. The neighborhood assoc uses them for mosquitoes, and I had them come back for mice and wasps. They put boxes with stuff to take care of the mice and refilled them when they came for the wasps. The guy would not spray everywhere because of pollinators, and did not spray near a birds nest on my porch. I was all on board with this, a bug guy with a environmental conscience. He swept up all the wasp debris. He really was the nicest guy. T
Ant man is a very knowledgeable pest control guy and a hard worker. He works to do what's best for the pesty creatures of all kinds and you may learn a thing or two about them. We were overrun with "six different types of ants" in our yard and in and around our house last summer and now I don't see a problem. He loves my chickens too!! :)
