We have used McKinzie Pest Control for the past 3 years and have had nothing but good experiences with them. When we first moved into our duplex it was so overrun with brown recluses that I was at a loss for what to do. Steve came out to treat the property and even after the first treatment, we saw a massive improvement. We are now moving into our first home and will be trusting McKinzie with all of our pest control needs from here on out! The price and quality are unbeatable as is the fantastic customer service I have always received. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars!

AWESOME VALUE & AMAZING PRICE! When I spoke to the owner, he was very quick to get someone out. Aaron (our servicer) was professional and very efficient. He called before the appointment to make sure the time still worked for us and came exactly when he said he would. I'd rank them as a 5 star company! Services: Spiders, Inspection

After the first visit for my rodent problem, I called because I was concerned for the quality and depth of work vs the price I paid for the service. They told me they would send someone out again. Not only did they send someone. the president, Steven McKinzie came out himself and blew me away with his professionalism and work ethic. After a very deliberate reassessment and reworking of traps around the property, Mr. McKinzie informed me that this visit would be free of charge.
He not only made right of a wrong, but was deeply concerned with how his company operated and the quality of work they do. Ever since then I haven't had any rodent problems. I would recommend this company to anyone experiencing any pest problem.

8/18/20 Update: Since the owner sprayed my house, I haven't seen any ants or spiders. He did a thorough job, asked me where the "hot spots" where for the ant problem, and made sure to that I knew what he spraying was safe around my pets and children. I would highly recommend using them to get rid of those hard kill bugs! 8/6/20 Update: The owner reached out to me and helped straighten this out to make it right.
He is very friendly, responsive, and willing to do what it takes to fix a wrong, even if it wasn't his. I really do appreciate the sincere apology and promptness to fix my pest problems. Even though the initial experience was rough, he made me feel better. I've never used pest control so this was a first for me. I called and scheduled a time 2 weeks in advance, over my lunch hour since they would have to go inside my home.
I got home and waited a few minutes after the scheduled time then called, thinking maybe I had the wrong day penciled in my calendar. She said that he would be there shortly. Another 27 minutes goes by and still no technician so I called back. She apologized and said she would call him and call me back. She never did return my call. He shows up 15 minutes before I had to return to work.
I don't like having people I don't know in my home alone with my kids but I didn't have much of a choice, thankfully my 16 year old was home and handled the rest. This was a very frustrating experience for me because timeliness is something that I take pride in. I do believe if you are running behind to let your customer know so they can schedule around it. Hopefully this experience won't happen again and the ant issue that I have will decrease after the spray treatment.

By far the best and easiest Pest Control Company to work with. I absolutely adore Mr. McKinzie and his crew, each and every one of them has bent over backwards to provide the best customer service and best deal possible. If I could rate them 10 stars, there's no doubt I would! Thank you all for the services and rates you constantly provide me and my team with!
