Customer Reviews

Sherri Budworth

Bug master Sterling is always pleasant and very friendly and professionally ready to take care of our pest control needs. Fire ants wasps and scorpions are treated thoroughly. I’m always happy with his service. Bug Master has the best prices. They also take care of the termites and it’s bundled together. Organic spray is used and is better for wildlife and pets. Thanks so much for the great service.
