Justin Labradorre: Sparta Lawn Care
☆☆☆☆11mo ago

I’ve called and emailed these people numerous times and still haven’t yet talked to somebody. Grass was cut unevenly. It looked like they mulched my grass instead of bagged my grass up. Left my yard and grass cuttings. Spots of grass were Missed. The sad part about all this they charge you before you can even look at your yard and an approve of their work. Also if I do cancel they will charge you 5x the amount they gave you…. If you call this an acceptable job then you need to rethink this busi

Boomer Frazierre: Arkadia Pest Control
★★★★★2y ago

Me and my team were working in Greenville removing a large masonry sign base at an apartment complex. We disturbed a fire and nest and I have never seen that many fire ants, we had to abandon the job until we could get someone to assist. I found arkadia pest control and they had Andrew call me, he was polite, informative and went to the site even though it was after 5.. we went back the next morning and no more fire ants! We completed the job and moved on. Arkadia and Andrew were amazing, afford

Kendall Cabrerare: Arkadia Pest Control
★★★★★3y ago

Andrew with Arkadia has provided 5 star service from the start! We are new home owners and this was our first time doing anything with pest control. I knew we wanted to use Arkadia immediately after the first free home inspection. Andrew gave detailed information all about the potential and evident pests, how to help avoid them in the future, and even shared pictures of what he saw. He is obviously an expert in his field and gave us different plan options to fit our needs and budget. I felt like

Janine Mallarire: Arkadia Pest Control
★★★★3y ago

Professional technicians and I’m always so amazed at their composure when dealing with pests. We live out in the country so we have a lot of bugs and mice and they have taken down a few wasp nests for us and they don’t even flinch, meanwhile I run away and hide behind a corner and watch them replace our mouse traps and take down those wasp nests! They are super friendly and very knowledgeable. I have the monthly subscription and I feel more at peace knowing I can call them and they’ll send someo

If you have any type of Bugs and want to rid yourself of them call Bobby! Bobby has years of experience dealing with the nastiest of critters. His latest extermination was working with a local hotel's bed bug problem. Yes if you stayed there, you better call Bobby to get them out of your house. I highly recommend him. -Dr. Benson Update: We had an Ant invasion in our house and Pool. I've nerver seen anything like it. I was using the spray from lowe's to control them, but found out through

I honestly could not believe how good of a job this gentleman (aaren is his name) did on my lawn. When Sparta Lawn Care finished, my grass looked so good I had to step back and admire it like it was a work of art. Straight lines, perfectly cut, and cleaner than I ever imagined. Not only was he extremely professional and respectful, but his pricing was very reasonable too—which is rare these days. He showed up on time, worked efficiently, and treated my property with care. I couldn’t have chos

Mary Watsonre: Terminix Termite & Pest Control
★★★★★1mo ago

We have been using Terminix for termite coverage for over 25 years and have been very pleased with their service. We recently switched to their pest control after we had been treating our home ourselves. We were amazed at the difference! Previously we would find alot of dead insects and thought we were doing a good job on our own. Now we see very few dead insects inside the house- the Terminix treatment is keeping them from entering our home all together. In addition, their customer service is
