Yesterday, your representative, Nick, came to our home to do a complete spraying to control insects. He completed the spraying inside and will return on Monday to spray the outside. We were very satisfied with his service.

They are prompt & helpful. Matt is great! I’ve used them & he’s come out every year for annoying spring tails that come. They return any voicemails promptly & the women in the office are nice; easy to talk to/schedule.

This group is amazing!! The tech DJ is fantastic!! He's a hoot and got all the small crevices in my home. They even came out and got rid of a bald faced hornets nest right away after my husband got stung. I have noticed a definite decrease in the pests in my home since they have started treatment. I will be using them for a long as they'll have me.

I’ve used this company 3 times now. They’re super friendly, they answer the phone, and they show up on time. Also their product has stopped ants where others did not back when I first used them. DJ was very professional and thorough.

They are very responsive, respectful, and courteous. I am highly allergic to spiders and any time I had an issue they were out right away. I also had an issue with a bird in my attic and they came out right away. They are great with answering questions and also educationing me.

We would highly recommend AMPEST services. The office gal Jackie was very kind, professional and understood our concern and need for prompt service . Your technician Jeff was excellent . His knowledge , his experience and his kind mannerisms made us feel we were in good hands. Jeff was very detailed and he would not stop until he found the source of our problem . Thankfully , Jeff found the problem and fixed it. Thank you Jackie & Jeff for your excellent service. We are grateful & appreciative .

The office staff were very professional. The technician they sent out, Nick, was very kind and thorough. He was able to quickly diagnose our raccoon issue and come up with a plan to remove the animal and repair the area to prevent further issues. I highly recommend Ampest if you are having a wildlife issue.

Antonia Farinella

He was very professional. Educated me on wildlife knowledge and was able to diagnose my wildlife issue quickly. He was also very thorough with his inspection, I couldn’t recommend them more.

A very professional and quick company. The office was very kind and helpful, and they sent out their technician Nick, and he was quick to diagnose the issue. He was even able to offer gap seal work to keep rodents out. Couldn’t recommend this company more.

Raccoons in attic! These guys are great.

We had a raccoon tear into our roof and get into the attic and eventually our walls! What a nightmare. We contacted another company and they worked the problem for almost two weeks with no results. We then switched to Ampest and Jeff came out assessed things and got the right trap into the right location. He checked the trap daily (unlike the other company) and in less than 4 days caught the raccoon that had taken up residence. Jeff was prompt, professional and calm (unlike me during this problem). This guy knows his stuff. Not happy with the raccoon but very happy with Jeff and Ampest.

I had a problem with squirrels in my attic crawl space. A wildlife professional was dispatched immediately upon me contacting them. He was able to catch the pregnant squirrel and her mate before she gave birth in my house. He was responsive, professional and got the job done in a timely manner. I paid to have the hole sealed up and he did a fabulous job with all of it. I would reccommend this company whoeheartedly. They were prompt and respectful of my property. I am truly a happy customer.

Let me start by saying that I found Ampest through Google and I am glad that I did! I have been a loyal client for the past three years and Steve is the nicest and most professional person I could have asked for! I am about to call for my fall treatment and actually look forward to having Steve complete the A+ job once again! Don't hesitate and call Ampest, the customer service is top notch!

We have used Ampest twice this last year and have been very pleased with all aspects of their service. Timeliness and thoroughness are but two of the accolades I can share. I have multiple times recommended Ampest to friends and neighbors. Thanks to Ampest E&W Control

Had a vole problem in my backyard and called AmPest after being recommended by another family. They were able to come out quickly and Joe started the process right away and explained in detail what was going to happen. After a couple of weeks - it looks like the problem is under control. Price was right, customer service was above and beyond and most importantly there were results! I’d refer to anyone looking to take care of a pest problem! Great work!

The men were sealing off attic space from any rodents. They did a clean and efficient job.

Ampest was recommended to me by another exterminator I had called who didn't deal with my issue (chipmunks). When I called to inquire I spoke with Jim on the phone who was very helpful at answering all of my questions and provided all information and pricing up front. I called on a Friday and was able to schedule an appointment the following Tuesday. I appreciated that Ampest scheduled me for an early morning appointment to accommodate my schedule. The technician, John, was on-time and very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all of my questions and recommended a treatment appropriate for my situation. I would recommend Ampest and will call them again if I ever need additional services.

Amazing company! I’ve had some bad experiences with exterminators, but Ampest is nothing like the rest. They make sure you are aware of all costs upfront, and they really take the time to explain their process and reasoning. I have had them come out to deal with a few issues, and they address everything! I would highly recommend.
