Spectacular! As a provider of healthcare and congregate care to the community, pest control is a top priority for NJ Friendship House in the delivery of quality services. Horizon Pest Control is not only courteous and responsive, but they are true experts and help you plan for prevention, avoiding any risks to our clients. Our Master technician is Rich and our Production Manager is Jack. I can personally say that they have never been more than a call away and have delivered by going above and beyond what you would expect.

We hired Horizon Pest Control for bug and insect extermination. We signed up for the annual "Home Guard" contract and couldn't be happier with the services we received. The prices are extremely reasonable and the services are completed in a timely manner. While all the technicians are wonderful, I would highly recommend James. He was so kind, friendly, and passionate about his work. In addition, he was considerate about pets and any special needs that are required if they're in the home during the spray. James started working outside of my house before I even arrived and made sure that I was highly satisfied prior to leaving.

If you're considering hiring a pest control company, don't look any further. Horizon Pest control is simply the best; you don't be disappointed! Thank you for being the outstanding, local, family-owned business that you are!

The technician was on time and was proficient / diligent while performing his duties in my home. When he entered my home, he put on booties so that he did not bring dirt in with his shoes. He always wore a face mask and was attention to my concerns. He answered all my questions regarding the products that he installed in my garage, back porch and my home as well.

Hired Horizon for bats exclusion. I am impressed with their professionalism. Seems to be a very well managed and well run organization. Should be a couple of weeks before I am sure the bat exclusion is successful, but I feel confident in the how they've handled my situation so far.
