Customer reviews for Average Joes Pest Control LLC
Dusty Ives
Joe is awesome. Called him on Saturday with our problem, a wasp nest in the attic and he came out the next morning. He came out in the window he said, took care of the problem at a fair price and gave some recommendations to prevent further issues. I recommend calling Averages Joes for any pest control issues and will most certainly call him help in the future. Please support Joe and local business.

Called on a Sunday and was at my house in 2 hours and no extra charge, was very thorough and explained everything and guaranteed his work and was cheaper than the big name companies.

Matt Phillips
This guy is top-notch. This is my second time utilizing his services and Iβm super impressed with his reaction time and ability to serve his customers. The first nest he treated has been clear for two years now. I just had him come back for a different spot on the house, actually two spots on the house, And he responded same day to take care of our issue. Highly recommended!
Provider response
Thank you Matt for your feedback, we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us and others know about your positive experience. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything in the future!
JW Wyman
Average Joes Pest Control service was GREAT! I called him at night to have a very large hornet nest removed from high in a tree in my front yard.. His quoted price was very reasonable and he arrived as planned the next day. He removed the nest from my tree and removed the nest with hornets from my property. We walked through the area around the tree the next morning and did not see any hornets. He arrived as scheduled and fully explained the process he was going to perform. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The spray he used before and after removing the nest was vert effective. It was a pleasure having him at our home. It is wonderful to know my grandchildren will be safe from these insects.. I will definitely use Average Joes Pest Control again for ALL my required pest control needs and I very highly recommend him. THE NEST IS GONE!!!

Peggy Trumble
This company is amazing! We had a yellow jacket nest in the ground in our yard where we hang out all the time. Joe came over and suited up and took care of it in no time. He was polite and professional! This is our second time hiring Joe the first time was yellow jackets in the edge of our roof. He came here and treated that and we never saw him again. Iβm sure weβll have the same experience with this. He couldnβt ask for better pricing or a better service ! 7.26.25- completely different area of my yard got a paper nest hornets Joe showed up same day service and remove them, great pricing super professional thanks Joe. I feel better knowing youβre there!!

Beverly McEntire
We have used Average Joe for three years no more gnats, ants our inside bugs are gone. Outside he sprayed around our motor home ,no more ants, we had a spot that had fire ants,gone I set Outside in the evening no mosquitoes. He comes once a year when I call him and he'll come back if I need him and I never have. Definitely like one reviewer said there is nothing Average about Joe.
Provider response
Thanks so much Beverly for the flattering review! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Average Joes and look forward to keeping the pests away for many years to come π
Trevor Baldwin
Joe does an absolutely wonderful job. He communicates well, super knowledgeable and friendly. Joe has eliminated carpenter ants at three different homes for me and he has taken care of the critters with one application each time with a guarantee to come back if we see anything more after two weeks and I've never needed him to come back a second time. I give him 10/10, 5 gold Stars, A++.
Provider response
Thanks so much Trevor for taking the time to write such a kind review! We appreciate your continued business over the years and we're always here if you need us π
Cody Mehan
Amazing professionalism, good people person personality, very intelligent on all pest facts and treatments that need to be done, no call center having to wait on them talking to 2 other people to figure out what exactly the issue that needs to be inspected, straight forward deliverance. I've had 2 other pest controls not deliver nearly as half as well as this company does. By far a 100 star rating if I could rate it that well.
Provider response
Thank you so much Cody for taking the time to leave us a review! Don't hesitate to let us know if we can help with anything in the future π

Provider response
Thank you Jason for the very kind and complimentary review. We appreciate having you as a customer and look forward to helping you with any other problems in the future π
Ivy Sears
We have had the pleasure of doing business with Average Joe's Pest Control for many years. They are friendly, informative, and get the job done. They guarantee their work and come out and fix what isn't right. Our area is prone to ground hornets and aggressive yellow jackets. Every time I have called Average Joe's for a nest it is completely taken care of. I have never had to call them back for the same nest for a repeat spray. Thank you for doing a great job, we will continue to call you for our pest needs.
Provider response
Thank you so much Ivy for your great feedback! We appreciate our wonderful customers like you guys and will be there for anything that pops up π

Papa Snek
Highly recommend average joes, Joe was awesome to work with and did a great job spraying down the yellow jacket nest that had started building in a wall outside of my place! Will definitely be contacting him again for any possible future issues!
Provider response
Thank you so much for the great review! We appreciate your business!! π
Kasey Espinoza
We have had wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets for the last 3 years so bad on the back of our house. They were so bad we couldn't even sit out on our back patio. We tried 3 different pest companies and all of them would get rid of the problem for a few weeks but we had to keep calling them back. I thought I'd try a different company one last time, and we chose Joes. He came once in May to spray the whole house, and it is now August and we haven't had a single wasp, hornet or anything. Life changing. I'll always use Joes now. Thank you so much!
Provider response
We're so glad to hear that Kasey and thank you for the kind words and review! π
Aaron Vorce
This was my second time working with Avwrage Joes. The first was for an ant problem that they fully took care of (theyβve never been back) and yesterday (4th of July) to get rid of a pretty huge bees nest. Iβm allergic to bees and after being stung multiple times and then seeing the size of the nest, there was no way I could do this without the help of a pro. Thank you Joe, for coming out on a holiday and for being courteous and taking care of the problem for us!
Provider response
Hi Aaron, thank you very much for the wonderful review! We appreciate your business and are happy to help anytime π
Mary A
Had Joe back again this year. He sprayed for ticks, mosquitoes, etc. He does an excellent job! Definitely recommend. So nice to sit outside on my patios without bugs! Thank you !
Provider response
Thanks so much Mary! We're thrilled that you're happy with the results and look forward to keeping them away next year too! π

Provider response
Thank you very much Kami, we appreciate your feedback!!
Dale Hinkelman
Very expensive, $400 for less than half hour
Provider response
Hi Dale, thank you for the feedback.<br><br>Being at your house for over an hour aside, we don't base our prices whatsoever on time spent on a job. We do, however, base it on the type of insect you're having a problem with, the severity of the problem and the type/amount of chemical required to eliminate the problem.<br><br>We responded quickly to your call, accommodating the roofing work you were having done which originally uncovered the problem. We explained the treatment process, what to expect afterwards and our guarantee. There was no hesitation on your part nor any pressure from us in regards to the cost.<br><br>Since we have not heard anything from you since the treatment, we assume the desired results were achieved.<br><br>Have a great day!
Catherine Maino
Although they responded quickly to our minor issue, the service we received compared to the cost was poor We have a major mess on our hands with a pipe burst issue and major water damage in our home. Our focus is disbursed in multiple directions. We also have another home and have needs for an exterminator on occasion. Currently we have a quarterly spray for wolf spiders and such that is $75 a spray. The examination of the house, placing boxes that we could have purchased on our own and your quick look at the outside of our home totaling less than 30 minutes of time, in our experience, should not have totaled $240. That seems incredibly expensive! You gave no guarantee of a follow up (offered if needed) or customer service beyond one 30 min visit. In all honesty, we are disappointed with the service compared to the cost. We are working with a number of vendors (electricians, dry wall, plumbers, insulators, contractors....) and the price point we are receiving from all are way lower with more time investment that your service. The plumber that came and repaired the pipe that burst was here for 2 hours and charged us $120! We feel you took advantage of the situation and overcharged for the services we received.
Provider response
As you can see from our other reviews, what you're describing is not who we are. We don't "take advantage" of our customers in any way.<br><br>You were very polite and complimentary of our service when we originally came out. 4 days later without so much as a phone call your above review popped up, taking us completely off guard. We then reached out to you to try and remedy your displeasure, making a return visit shortly thereafter and even offering you a refund. Immediately after that visit, any communication by you was nonexistent.<br><br>We do not base any of our pricing on someone's unfortunate situation, nor do we base it on what other professionals may or may not charge you for plumbing, electrical, flooring etc.<br><br>We value our customers as the backbone of our business and will continue to do so.
