Cogent Pest Elimination was quick to respond. They were the first company I spoke to that didn’t feel like they were overpriced and who wasn’t booked out a month. I was able to have the hornets treated within 48hr of my call. I would highly recommend

We have had all great experiences with Cogent. They service our home and our office. The technician, Derek, is super nice and helpful with suggestions if he sees something on the property that could be causing a problem you are having. We highly recommend their services!

Anyone can use a sprayer. But if you want your home treated by someone who has the knowledge behind what to spray and why Cogent is the best choice. They've treated my homes for ten years. Always energetic and professional and careful of my small dog. I depend on Cogent to keep our place safe. I started with them because I didn't want pest "control", I wanted pest elimination.

Cogent Pest has done an excellent job treating our home. They do preventative sprays for us twice a year and have gotten our mole and chipmunk activity under control. They are honest and reliable. I would highly recommend them for pest elimination!

Cogent always does a good job treating our house for bugs, and they've helped us out when we have had situations come up. Just the other day, I brought home bedbugs from a hotel stay, and Michael spent some time on the phone talking me through first steps that I can take myself. He wanted to help me without selling me an expensive service. I would definitely recommend!

First time using Cogent Pest Elimination and was very pleased. We had an ant problem in our kitchen and my baking room. Michael checked the home and found the colony where they were coming into our home. He sprayed, baited kitchen and applied granular which was safe for dog not to be harmed by. Promised to come back the following week if we saw any more ants. So far so good. We will be calling on them again should the need arise.

Cogent Pest Control is a great company. Their employees are very professional, especially Derek, who is so friendly, too! The product they use does the job well and we never see any insects. We get our home sprayed twice a year and that is all it takes.
