They did an awesome job spraying for asian beetles. We've had Granite Pest Control service our house in years past and have never had an issue with Asian Beatles. They are prompt, professional and get the job done right.

They scheduled the appointment and was on time. When finished, I was told what was exactly done and what not to do afterwards. Very pleasant and polite, I would recommend Granite Pest Control 100%.

Lance was very friendly and took the time to explain his methods and make it a hassle free experience. He knew I was on a somewhat time constraint and took care of seeing the house and setting things up. He shows a passion for helping people with any unwelcome guests. Definitely recommend him for any pest control.
