What customers say about our technicians

This could be you.

★★★★★
“I was honestly a little embarrassed about how many nests we had — over 11! — but Craig joked and laughed with me about it and never once made me feel intimidated, judged, or “dumb” for not knowing what to do. … He took the time to show me where the nests were located and explained what he was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.”

★★★★★
“I am new to the area, so I looked at reviews to select a pest elimination service. Markley’s had excellent reviews and now I know why. … After introductions, Bob put on shoe covers which was most appreciated. He explained his process and then once he was done treating the house, he reminded me that if I noticed anything troubling between my quarterly inspections, to let the office know.”

★★★★★
“We have used Markley’s Pest Elimination service for several years and all of their technicians have been very good but we think Hunter is the best. He arrived on time, rang the door bell, came in when the door was answered and chatted for just a minute and went to work. … He is a fine young man, very pleasant and we look forward to the next time he comes back. A great tech.”
