I have been using Apex Pest Control for many years. On my last house, we had some ants swarming in the entrance of our house. We called Apex Pest Control and they came out the same day and took care of everything and then inspected the rest of the house we never saw any ants after this. I signed up for a quarterly treatment and we never had any problems with any bugs or pests after that. Now we live in an old farmhouse and we had them come up and inspect and sets mice traps and also the quarterly treatment and we haven't had no problems with any insects or past in three years. I highly recommend Apex Pest Control for all bugs and pests resolutions.

Apex Pest Control can best be described as reliable and knowledgeable pest control. They understand my concerns with pets and children present while needing to adequately treat for pests. I Have hired Apex for clients, family and my personal home to perform inspections, new construction termite shield, yard treatment for ticks and spiders, as well as monthly service.

These guys are the best. Jeff & Bobby both excellent. Once they started treatments at my house it made such a huge difference inside and out with the amount of insects we had around. They are quick to come out and they even cut me a break on services when I moved out of my rental house for my "last treatment". I would not use anyone else in AVL. These folks are small, local, and will give you the customer service you won't get with the big companies.

Can't beat the service and prices with Apex. Bobby is friendly and knowledgeable, and I haven't had any issues with ants since I started service with them. I appreciate the time taken to explain the service and prevention steps I can take as well. Bobby knows his stuff! Thanks Apex!

When I started seeing little piles of debris on my floor I figured I had a problem. Either insects would take my house or a pest control company would take my money (and may or may not fix the pest problem). I became more frightened when I started reading reviews. Then I found Apex. They had great reviews so I called them. Based on my personal experience all the reviews are true. These people know pests and how to get rid of them.
However the special thing I want to share with you, is the fact that the people are honest. They do not oversell or try to sell you something you really don't need. They easily could have in my case but they didn't. How refreshing to fine professional competent and honest people. I give them 5 stars, and would recommend them to anyone. Special thanks to Hunter, the technician who came to my house and put an end to my pest problem. Thanks to all the folks at Apex for your hard work and honesty. It was much appreciated.

First I would like to commend Hunter, my technician for his personal and professional qualities. My house was invaded by tiny ants! I placed a call to Apex and voiced my concerns to Tim. Tim was the friendly voice on the other end of the phone. He told me I had called the right place and indeed, I had. They came out very promptly and treated for me, also gave me advice about these unwanted creatures.
They know their stuff and can explain things very well. I had wanted to get my house on a treatment plan for years but had put it off. I am now on a yearly treatment plan with Apex and I feel very good about this decision I made for my home. I have told my friends, family, and neighbors about Apex and some of them have told me they have been a customer of Apex for years and years. So we ALL recommend Apex to ALL of you.
Tim, Jeff, Hunter, and Collin are the wonderful employees I had the pleasure of working with.
Others I know have worked with different technicians and say they have had the same wonderful customer service experience. These guys truly care about what you need help with and really want to help get it fixed. They care and know what it takes to resolve the problem. Its hard to find this kind of dedication these days. Give yourself a smile today and call Apex.

Honest and smart. Rare to find a bug company that tells you that you don't have a problem and not try to sell you treatment. Very impressed with them!
