How the scorecards work

Every number here comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the company, compared against the others listed. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume. Recency shows how recently people still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Is the plan a one-time treatment or a recurring contract, and how long is the commitment?
What is the cancellation policy, and is there a refund window?
Which pests and areas are covered, inside and outside?
Is a retreatment free if pests come back, and for how long?
Are the products safe around pets and children, and how long should we stay off the treated area?
