Huge shoutout to Liberty Pest Control for their outstanding service! Today Trei Bisher stopped by for our service, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish. First off, the truck pulled into the driveway and I have to say… WOW. The design looks fantastic. It’s clean, professional, and really shows that Liberty Pest Control takes pride in their presentation. But the service itself is what really stood out. Trei didn’t just show up and rush through the job. He took the time to touch base with me first to make sure he had all the correct information about what I needed. He clearly explained what he was going to be doing and even mentioned another service option they offer.. but in a helpful way, not pushy at all. Another thing I really appreciated was how respectful he was of my workspace. Since I work remotely, it was important that my day wasn’t interrupted. Trei moved efficiently from area to area, getting everything done without interfering with my work at all. Professional, respectful, and thorough service like this is exactly why companies like Liberty Pest Control stand out. If you’re looking for reliable pest control with great people behind the work, they’re definitely worth calling.

Common questions
Are mice and rats covered by my plan?
Yes. Mice and rats are covered by every plan. All rodent problems start with a free inspection.
When will I hear mice in my Metropolis home?
Most often shortly after dark or early in the morning. Scratching or scurrying in the walls, attic or ceiling at those times is a common first sign.
How do mice get into a house?
Mice squeeze through very small gaps, like openings around pipes, vents, doors and the foundation. Rats need a slightly bigger opening but get in the same ways.
How can I keep mice out of my house?
Store food and pet food in sealed containers and keep counters clean. Seal gaps around pipes and doors, and keep firewood and clutter away from the house.
