We've have been using Anteater Exterminating for many years.They are always on time and are very detail oriented while spraying in and out of your home. Their team is great and you always get the same person coming to your home. They care about their clients and all pest concerns. They will always be our pest control provider. Tom has been our technician for several years - we appreciate the team at AntEater Exterminating.

We love Conrad! He does an amazing job spraying and I never see bugs alive in the house! He is very thorough and so polite. We are currently moving but once we get our new house built we will be calling him before we move in! We love Anteater. They have an easy to use website to set up appointments and pay bills as well. We had two previous exterminators come and I would see live bugs in the house not even a week after they sprayed.
Not the case with Anteater! They also give us a couple glue traps to place around the house. Fair prices and great work! They also have always been able to get our appointment in the time frame we request. Thanks guys!

I moved to the valley six years ago and, ever since, we've had Anteater routinely visiting our home to keep the creepy crawlies away. Their service is exceptional. They're courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely invest themselves to your best interest. Their techs are prompt and friendly, as well! Every time Gordo is at my home I feel as though I'm talking to an old friend. I really enjoy the fact that the chemicals they use don't leave your house smelling like a poison manufacturing company like most others I've experienced do. I've been a long-time customer of theirs, and that isn't going to change unless I leave the valley!

I first started using Anteater Exterminating when I lived in Peoria upon the referral of a friend. I have continued to use them after moving to SE Mesa. They are reasonably priced, very reliable, friendly, remind me when I might need service again, alert me when they are on their way, but best of all, they have always resolved all of my pest issues. I simply never really think about critters and bugs because there rarely are any!

My wife and I have had problems with roof rats for the past six years. We knew they came to this area because Scottsdale used to be dominated primarily by fruit orchards. Knowing this, we tried to eliminate the attractor by first removing the fruit trees on our property. Doubling our efforts, we then set traps and caught a few. A few weeks later, however, they came back. So, I called in the pros - and my first choice was Anteater. Shawn told me that rats are all over my area and that they travel.
He said the only way to combat them is to continuously set bait. Anteater came out and set the locked bait traps around the house and behind our bushes. We now have a technician come back once a month to reload the traps. Our home is now rat-free and we're beyond grateful to have Anteater's help.

They are by far the best and most honest pest control company we have used. We have been using them for year. Never had nothing but professional service from them. Would not use anyone else. They are by far the best bee removal company I have ever used. Will do same day service for bees.

Fantastic service. Fast, friendly and knowledge able staff. We used to have problems with lot of bugs all over my property and of course, scorpions. They've taken care of that. They will treat your home as if it was theirs. They are very careful on where to spray and will answer any questions you may have. Thanks to them, now I have piece of mind knowing my children are safe at home. Very recommended.

I've used Anteater's for years! LOVE the service! Get excellent results, except for the pesky gophers, which is not their fault. ;) They know what I'm talkin 'bout. I recommend them whenever anyone asks for an exterminator. I'm very much appreciative of the hard work the crew performs and frankly, they are just good people! Thanks, Anteaters!

Gordo did a fantastic job at our home! He made sure he explained what he was doing and walked us through it all. He also was kind to us our garden, and dogs! He was very knowledgeable and provided very insightful information on future uses. I felt very confident about him doing his job!

Gordo from Anteater Exterminating came out yesterday and treated the outside of our house. My husband and I found him very pleasant, knowledgeable and honest. He could have sold us a monthly service plan for all I know about scorpions but he didn't. We couldn't be happier and notice a difference already. I would recommend Anteater Exterminating!!

Whenever I call for service or to just ask a question, I ALWAYS receive a very prompt response. They are always willing to change their treatment schedule to fit my every changing one without a complaint! Shawn and Tom have been so great! I have been with Anteater for many years now through 3 different houses and never one complaint! They are always friendly and they do a completely thorough job! I have recommended them to others who have also been pleased with their work. I will continue to use them and recommend them!
