Report
Matt Schaeffer came by this morning after we called last night. I saw 1 German roach on the outside of my back porch. German cockroaches carry disease and are very bad. Matt resprayed the entire exterior, sprayed the garage, and behind my kitchen cabinets as a precaution. He then used the paste to spot treat baseboard area in the garage. He was very professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend using Capelouto! We have used them since we moved in in 2018. We've never had a problem, they come every 2 months and will come back if we see any issues. Thank you, Matt!

Capelouto is the best! Always ready to help in any way. Their service can't be beat. The last person to spray was extremely helpful in answering my questions and making sure the spray and treatment covered all areas. Their termite bond and inspections are thorough and all services are performed professionally!
