Emerick's did a great job treating our home and our rental. This year technician Steve also found a leak in the water heater at the rental that saved us a potential disaster. We appreciate his careful courteous service. Service: General pest inspection

We have used Emerick's several times now and they have been so nice and friendly. The first time we used them was for bug inspection when we purchased our home. Since we live in the country, we noticed there are more bugs that come into the house than we would like. We are now on a quarterly service and I am very happy with the results. They also offer a 30 day guarantee for each spray they do!

Report
I had 4 wasps come in my house through some holes in the siding in my living room. Prior to that there was a wasps nest in the rubber seal of my window in my bedroom. I've had issues with relentless wasps and hornets for the past 8 years. We've tried Orkin but they are too expensive. So I was happy with Emerick's service! Doug was so helpful and educated us on how wasps hibernate and build new colonies and gave peace of mind that during the cold months they are gone. I will definitely be using their services in the spring/summer months when the bugs come back because they are so reasonably priced compared to anywhere else!
