The person I talked to over the phone about a bird incursion we have was very helpful, clear, and informative. If we end up needing professional help, I'll be sure to go with Shield.

Customer Reviews
Kim Mize-Humphrey
Highly recommend Shields for spider and mice infestation. They were the only ones who finally found the source of the mice entering my home, it has been a problem for many years. And the spiders have been under control as well. (The big nasty Rattlesnake crk basement spiders, that i cannot possibly cohabitate with ??)
Lori Stevens
We have had a big problem with yellow jackets! They are virtually eliminated now and we can enjoy our yard again. Shield Pest Defense has always been there for us when we have a pest emergency and they are very pleasant to work with.
Emily Kingsfield
These guys saved our butts when we suspected we had a bed bug infestation at our new rental 5 days before we were supposed to go on vacation. When we called they gave us all the information we needed about bed bugs and what to expect if they find them. They sent a technician out the next day who was extremely thorough and was able to confirm we needed to treat for bed bugs. They told us it normally takes a week or more to schedule and prep the house for treatment so I was concerned we would have to cancel our trip. At that point they referred us to Rocky Mountain Bed Bug and the transition to working with them was seamless - they already had all of our information and everything was sorted out behind the scenes without us having to lift a finger. With the two of them working together we were able to get the house treated within 3 days and be cleared for travel! Both companies were incredibly responsive and helpful with information. I never once got sent to voicemail when I called to ask questions. These guys know what they’re doing and they really care about their clients!
Lori Newcomer
We are very happy with the service we get from Shield Pest Defense. They were able to come to my home quickly and take care of our problem. Colton was especially helpful in communicating with me and reassuring me about the safety of our pets with the treatment used. This is a very professional and customer focused company. I highly recommend them.
