I had called Universal for a complimentary inspection too look for a possible raccoon in our attic. We had one when we first moved in and were concerned it had come back Jimmy came out and he did a full assessment. He was efficient and professional and we were so happy to find out the raccoon had not come back. There was a previous stain coming through the ceiling and he told us how to handle it! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who has any concerns!

David Shafer was very professional. He came out an did a full inspection. Then we came up with a game plan to combat my pest. I set up my contract which was simple and straightforward. And I really enjoyed my experience with David. He was very informative about the pests. Thank you David for all you help!

Weve used Universal Pest for years for our preventative maintenance. They were upfront and honest with us from day one. We always request David Shafer to come to our home for our quarterly maintenance. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.

My technician David Shafer exudes professionalism with a touch of warmth and compassion.
By the time I reached out to Universal Pest and Termite, I was overwhelmed and stressed beyond words (from lack of sleep) due to problems with squirrels in my walls.
Other renowned pest companies failed miserably to assist me with this ongoing squirrel issue.
David was so gentle with me. He sat me down and explained the process in a manner that gave me immediate hope. Not only did he and the amazing team seal up all the entry points, David called me as well as came back to my home to make sure those pesky rascals couldn't get back in!
My nightmare has ended and I cant thank that good smelling man -David and his team enough for bringing so much peace back to my mind and home.

This was our first time having Philip as a technician and he was a delight! From the moment he walked in, armed with a smile and a pet for my dog, he was friendly and professional. Philip was incredibly thorough, explaining each step of the service as well as his standards and remediation techniques. Its obvious that Philip cares deeply about his job and I look forward to seeing him again next quarter!

We had Phil as our tech today, and I couldnt be more pleased with his performance. He was very thorough and provided the best service experience that weve had. He took the time to answer my questions and explained how to maintain a safe and pest free environment for my family and my dogs. Id give him 10 stars if that option existed!!!
