Nikki from Sudden Death helped take care of a mouse problem we discovered recently as well as completed a quarterly preventative service. She was knowledgeable, thorough, explained the treatment plan clearly, and was easy going! Definitely recommend Sudden Death Termite and Pest Control!

Excellent family owned business. Used them twice on an ad-hoc basis and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Without hesitation will certainly use them again.

"Sudden Death" is what the centipedes at my house encountered, thanks to Billy's treatment plan. I'm terrified of centipedes, so to not see them lurking in the basement or on my walls is a blessing. Can't recommend enough!

10/10 communication and service were amazing, plus better pricing then anyone else. Will be recommending, and won't go anywhere else.. Nikki was very helpful when she came out for our treatment and even gave us a courtesy call when she was on her way.

I was referred to this company from a friend. I choose to support local business and I didn’t regret it using this company. The technician was very thorough and knowledgeable. My problem was resolved at a fair price for the service provided. I will recommend this company to friends and family without hesitation.

These guys are the "best of the best in PEST control." They are detailed, explain the situation well and very kind.

We've had Sudden Death come twice now, once in 2023 and again in 2026. Both times they were efficient, friendly, and effective.

As a local church we have lots of rooms, including several with food handled regularly, causing a great environment for insects to grab a snack. Sudden Death is a local business and has been terrific. Our technician, Nikki, is much more friendly, effective and professional than the prior nationally known company we hired.

I refer to her as "The Angel of Death" - fortunately she has a great sense of humor!

Why Do Yellow Jackets Get So Aggressive in Late Summer and Fall?
