About

Family-owned and Operated

History

Burnett Exterminating Company, LLC opened its doors July 1, 2019 with mother-daughter duo Dianne Burnett and Kira Burnett. We’re a young company, but we have modest dreams. First and foremost, customers aren’t dollar signs, they’re people. In fact, we consider ourselves employees of our customers; we work for them. A pest-free environment is our goal for every job.

“Inspect, Detect, & Correct” is our motto. First, we inspect the house or building from attic to crawlspace or basement. If a pest problem is detected, then we correct it. Inspections are free. If a problem is detected, we give an honest evaluation and options on treatment methods at a fair price. We know everyone works hard for their money and want to make sure their money is spent wisely.

 

Get in touch

We at Burnett Exterminating know that finding the right pest control company to assist you is a choice not to be taken lightly. That’s why we offer free consultations to walk you through your needs, the scope of your goals, and your budget.
