These companies may rush through the service, applying minimal effort just to check off a box rather than addressing the root of the pest problem. Often, they prioritize speed over quality, leading to incomplete or temporary solutions.
It’s frustrating to invest in pest control services only to find that pests return soon after the treatment. If you’ve experienced any of the following, you may have been a victim of “Drive-By” Pest Control:
