We had a fantastic experience with Summit Pest Control and recommend their services 100%! Outstanding professionalism and dedication to honest service, our wasp situation was beyond our control and Tateum made it his personal goal to go above and beyond to help us, and guess what? No more wasps! Search no further for your pest control needs, call them right away!!
Shanda Simpson
I had such a great experience with Tateum! He's super friendly, punctual, and has great work ethics. He came by a couple of times to do spider sprays around my house and did a really thorough job. I also really appreciated that he followed up afterward to make sure everything was working — and when the second spray wasn't quite as effective, he came back to re-spray. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their work and their customers. Highly recommend!
Pauline P
Tateum was incredibly professional. He was able to accommodate me with a hour of me calling him to help with a bee problem and got it done without any issues. I highly recommended him.
