Used this company for termite clearance letter and treatment prior to selling home. Excellent communication and fast response time. Every employee I interacted with was professional and able to provide information and education on their process. As someone who has never used a pest control service I highly recommend. They made the process easy.

I was having a window replaced and the contractor found water damage from a bad seal and termites. I called Foothills Pest Control and within 2 hours Ty came out and inspected the exposed damaged area as well as the rest of the house. He assured my that the damage was not from termites. He also inspected the rest of the house and reassured me that things looked good for now. Very relieved and very pleased with the prompt, courteous, and professional service. Thank you Ty and FPC!

They are always on time. I like that I get a text to set up an appointment when it's time for for them to come out. I have 2, sometimes 3 dogs that are interested in what the technician is doing. They always take time to greet the dogs and talk to them

We have been customers of Foothills Pest Control for many years covering two different locations. One is an old church building which has a very low access crawl space. It was treated for termites and has been maintained very well. Their field employees are always on time and well mannered and thorough with their inspections.

After paying for a service that we didn't receive, we are unable to get the technician back out. Even tried contacting the owner who was too busy to deal with us. Would NOT recommend. Use a known company with proven results. I will from now on.
