I live in an apartment complex, just moved in and started seeing a few roaches. This company came and sprayed my whole apartment. The technician was so awesome. He sprayed thoroughly and was patient and kind! So much better the other local company (Burns) that my other complex used!

I left a message Sunday evening and I rec'd a call back Monday morning! I left messages with MANY(16) other companies - only one other called back and they don't service my area. Equally important were the 2 reps of the company - Kendrick Buckley (State Certified Inspector) was our introduction to Arizona Pest Control and he was personable, professional, knowledgeable and very patient. He did not pressure us at all. I was still extremely upset over seeing a mouse the day before and he was calming yet not patronizing as some people get with us older folks. He explained the process and when it could start and we were so impressed with him and the information that we signed a contract. The next employee was Todd and he was so kind and assuring as he explained how and where he would set traps. This young man was also professional and patient. Neither one of these employees made me feel ridiculous or inferred my anxiety was misplaced and I am so very grateful!Also important are the people who answer the phone... every time they have been pleasant, friendly and helpful.I would/will recommend Arizona Pest Control!Thank you.The Douglass's

We hired them to do inside and out because I got stung by 3 scorpions in less than 6 months. I don’t see or get stung by scorpions anymore. They do their job professionally and at a fair price.

When i first moved to Tucson from Maryland in 2018 there were scorpions and big brown bugs and spiders inside and outside the house. I have a maintenance contract with Arizona Pest Control since late 2019 and have been blessed with all the bugs inside and all along the house finding nesting elsewhere! My cat and pup are also enjoying bug free inside and outside!! Thanx to AZ Pest Control!

I Called Arizona Pest Control after seeing what I thought might be a termite tunnel in the ceiling. James Sconiers came out the next day and told me that it was flaking paint due to some subtle settling. James continued with a complete inspection of my home and found no evidence of termites. I will always call Arizona Pest Control!

When we discovered we had termites, we immediately reached out to Arizona Pest Control. Brian did the initial home inspection; he was knowledgeable, professional, and set us up with an appointment to have the house treated. We chose the 5 year plan, but what I appreciate is that he did not try to up-sell us on any product or home treatment. Highly recommend this company!

Always aware of the surroundings of my home AZ Pest becomes aware of the nuisances in the environment while implementing the correct means to legally eradicate them.

The morning of our trip we heard a chuing noise under the house. Not having much time to catch a plane, we did what we could and left. After arriving at our destination we called Arizona Pest control.Thankfully they agreed to assist us. After being away for 7 weeks, there was no damage from the critters, thanks to the weekly pest control actions. Thank you for your service.
