The best pest service there is! They go above and beyond to help people with whatever they need. Super GREAT people. They come out of a small town but they're the best in the area and they travel to other cities!

I called this company about 45 minutes before closing crying and having a panic attack due to "thousands of giant a** gnats" in my house (obviously wasn't gnats, but I wasn't sure how to compare them.) My point is that this man listened to me, figured out what he believed it to be, made sure I understood that either option doesn't bite/sting to calm me down (new mom of an infant here), then came out to my house (20-30 minutes away) shortly before closing, and told me the problem, walked me through how to handle it step by step (with pricing) and gave me alternative ideas to hold us over until they can come fix the problem later. 10/10 would suggest. Very kind and understanding people. Honest, helpful, and crucial in a moment of panic. Will be using them again.

I was having a small problem with water bugs and Tommy came back out and went above and beyond to take care of my problem. I can't say enough good about this company! He truly cares about his customers. Thank you Belly Up Bugs for taking care of me.

Great Guys and very Professional. Very Knowledgeable, instead of just killing and getting rid of the bugs they explain where they came from and how to prevent them from coming back. Also very reasonably priced. Highly Recommended

I use these guys at 4 locations. Most of the time they spray when I'm not even there. I would trust them with any of my stuff. Also I have been a customer for 13 years and never had a problem. They are the best.
