EXCELLENT Based on 157 reviews Hannah Fraser2024-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One month ago, our backyard was unusable due to mosquitoes. After just a few weeks of using Volunteer Rid a Pest, I’m enjoying our property with no fear of bites! Paul is a kind, thorough technician who we will definitely be requesting in the future! Two weeks after his initial visit, we saw a few mosquitoes (only 3 or 4 compared to the hundreds that were present before) and he came back the next business day to retreat the property. Thank you for helping us Paul and Volunteer Rid a Pest!! Also, their price and customer service are top tier as well. Stacia Haro2024-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been with Volunteer Rid a Pest since they had bought out Pest Away due to the owners retiring. Pest Away was great. We have had several different technicians come out and every time we have had to have them come back before our quarterly visit. Clinton was sent out to us today and did an excellent job. He went above and beyond to take care of our spider and insect problem. He knocked down bee hives and spider webs that were around the house. Very Friendly guy and I will be requesting him for our quarterly visits from now on. I would recommend him 100%. I also like dealing with Elizabeth in the office. She is always attentive and able to fit us in when needed. James W2024-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I left a top 10 in revenue company last year. I was in the industry over 22 years. I would have liked to use a local independent company for a property that has German roaches. However let’s compare them with 2 larger companies. Arrow Exterminators quoted $250 initial $75 a month. Volunteer Rid A Pest $210 initial $110 a month. Bulwark $249 initial $70 a month. Massy Services would not quote over the phone. You are going to get the same guarantee with these companies. They all talk themselves up like any business, plus I worked for one of them and know they will get the job done. Tho I did not choose my former company. $110 a month is insane in comparison. —in regards to their response. The other companies don’t have an early cancellation fee. So they don’t actually force you into keeping them. All of them were told it is for a 2700 sq ft property. Also life is not fair. My review is absolutely fair and based on your companies price difference. You certainly will not be providing a service that’s going to be any quicker to solve the problem than the other companies. The review stays. You probably should try and give a better response to negative reviews. Being more competitive in your pricing would help gain more business also. On a good note, the person that gave the overpriced quote was nice. Drew McClendon2024-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first experience with this company and we are very pleased with the results and how professional our service tech Tyler was. Would highly recommend Becca McClure2024-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice and professional office staff. Megan was able to work with my schedule and get me a very prompt appointment. My assigned tech, Colby, showed up to my home a little early which is refreshing. Let me just say, Colby is a total smoke show. Imagine my delight that for once an attractive workman show up at my home, not only on time but not a butt crack or a beer gut in sight. I got a Magic Mike cast extra who apparently kills bugs as a side job. I immediately regretted not putting on my best dress and soft music. Instead I look like a lumber Jane better suited for deep woods off grid living. After I put my eyes back in my head and picked my jaw up off the floor, I could appreciate what a thorough job he was doing on the inside of my home. How does one man make blue booties look like a fashion statement? I asked myself these questions and more as I followed him room to room hoping his shoulder might accidentally brush mine. Thankfully it didn't because I might have burst into flames. When he looked at me with those piercing blue eyes I must of had a mini stroke because the next thing I know, 90 minutes have passed and I desperately needed a drink of water. The service worked as I no longer see any of the bugs for which he treated my home. He was polite and courteous as he didn't even mention when he slipped in a puddle of drool I must have left behind from staring at him. I do intent to use him for any other needs I may have in the future. Laura Swafford2024-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chase treated our house for ants last week and I want to give him a special shout out. He was so very polite, prompt, informative and thorough. Felt an instant connection to this fella! The entire company as a whole gets a full 5-star, 2 thumbs-up from us and would highly recommend. Keep up the good work! 👍 mjones8852024-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love that you can get a 3 month plan and they will come out every 3 months and spray and if you see a bug they come back out for free! I got the mosquito guard, flea and ticks for my doggo and I'm super excited! Sheila Nichols2024-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great job yesterday by Tanner and his group! They did an excellent job making improvements under house. Hard workers, too!

My father, Billy Gardner, who founded our company, shared wisdom with me that has guided us for over 54 years: ‘Treat your customers fairly, serve them well, and show them respect, and they will never consider using another company.’ This simple yet powerful philosophy has stood the test of time and remains at the heart of everything we do.
To compete with large international, billion-dollar corporations, we can’t just aim to be as good as they are—we must be better. We must be more than just a service provider; we must set the standard in our industry. That means punctuality, genuine respect for our customers, and consistently delivering exceptional results.
With us, you’re not just getting a service; you’re getting a commitment. We promise better service, value, and a seamless experience whenever you do business with us. It’s not just about meeting expectations—it’s about exceeding them in every possible way.
Thank you for trusting us. We’re here to ensure trust is well-placed today and in the future.
Erik Gardner, CEO
The only pest control company in Chattanooga and Cleveland that guarantees if you are not 100% happy, you will not pay a penny!
