Shanea Zenmonre: Jarman's Pest Control
★★★★★3y ago

I moved in a home and noticed there was bugs. I have a really bad phobia so I called Jarman. I used them before when I worked for a transportation company. At first I started to call back because I started seeing them outside and inside. But I was also spraying some poison I got from lowes around the premises. Now, I haven’t seen a bug in a few weeks. I wake up early before the sun comes out so I would know if they’re still here. I appreciate doing business with this company. I would recommend a

I am a new customer of Leapfrog for lawn services as of Oct. I have been so impressed with the quality of their work, the quick responses to questions, and the knowledge and professionalism of their staff. They just cleared the weeds from our plant beds and put out mulch. They did an excellent job taking care of tender new plant growth that I wanted to protect while getting rid of weeds and holly suckers. The mulched areas look fantastic. I am so happy with their service and staff. I very highly

Recently had Leap Frog give me an estimate for lawn care & treating all trees/shrubs. Plus fix my paver patio. John is extremely knowledgeable arborist, providing excellent advice & treatment plan as prior years we’ve had issues with beetles/aphids. They fixed my paver patio as stones shifted over the years and needed new sand. They re-leveled some of the stones, power washed, & put in new paver sand in all joints. The paver patio looks brand new. They did excellent work, reasonable pricing, wer

I used Clegg's last year to rid my yard of moles. The moles returned this year so I contacted Clegg's. I continue to be impressed with Matt who helped me determine the treatment and Austin, who is treating the yard. They are both professional, courteous, and friendly during our interactions. The cost of the service is fair. 2025 update. The moles have again returned to my yard. I received the same professional service from Matt and the technician. There was a slight increase in the price but it

Glynnisre: Virginia Carolina Pest Management
★★★★★18d ago

Carlos arrived on time and prepared to do the job. He was friendly and professional. As seen, he sprayed the interior of the house, wiped down webs around the exterior, viewed the closest area of the attic he could see from the ladder and threw poison packets inside. Showed me the station and told me he was going to place it behind the house. He informed me that he was going to check out the crawl space and throw some poison in there as well (I did not actually see but assumed he did it). Did no

Mr. Colton Powell, is very,good at what he does. He took his time to explain to me what he was doing and what he was planning on putting down on the outside of my house as well as the inside. He even cleaned the Cobb webs around the outside of the house. Colton is a good person and hes great at what he does. He answered all my questions no matter how dumb they were.
