Get somebody else. I had a rat problem in the house. Peyton Hopkins came out and put out baits, which seems to have killed them. But he won't finish the job. He hasn't closed the entry points into the house. My calls go to his voice mail. He won't return my calls. I'm very dissatisfied.

We have been using Athens Exterminating for about 15 years. Great service from the office and my technician. Tommy is great! I trust him with a key or door code and have for years.

They were actually able to get us in the same day we called. They were professional from the first phone call to the service and information we received from Anthony when he came out. We will definitely use them for all our needs in the future and recommend them to our friends in the area. We felt the price was very reasonable and they did not charge any extra even though we received prompt service.

The lady that answers the phone is super rude. I was trying to explain to her the reason I was cancelling my services was because they have been coming out to spray every month and I still see live roaches from time to time. I don't believe their solution is strong enough. The lady that answered the phone wouldn't even let me explain without her being rude and not letting me explain the problem.

Called and placed a service call, tech on the phone was rude and only mildly knowledgeable. Tech never showed up the next day, called the office and we weren't even in the system. Receptionist said she would call us back and never did, these people are the worst company I have ever dealt with.

We have used Athens Exterminating for about 6 years. We love Tommy! Haven't really dealt with anyone else and wouldn't want to. We usually make sure we are here when he comes because of my dog but would have no problems making him a key to come and go. Tommy is very trustworthy family man. Our neighbors have Tommy as well and feel the same way. I hope you pay him well, he is the reason for our loyalty to the company!
