How a visit works #

Call, text or book. Reach us at (210) 281-1064 or book online. The office confirms the appointment time.
Inspection first. The technician looks at the nest or problem area, the outside of the home and likely entry points.
Options explained. You hear what was found and the choices before anything is treated, including when a nest can safely be left alone or a beekeeper is the better call.
Pricing after the inspection. The price depends on the pest and the property, so it is quoted once the technician has seen it.
