Testimonials

‟I bought a home, sight unseen (I trusted a VA inspector) in rural Cochise County, AZ. After moving in I quickly discovered that the home was INFESTED with vermin and BROWN RECLUSE SPIDERS! NW Exterminating installed ‘Desert Guard’ and that took care of ALL of the vermin, and, after a few treatments of Spider Power-Dusting in my crawl space I am free of dangerous spiders!”
