Family-owned pest control · Powell, TN
Precision Pest Management is a family-owned company run by owner Dakoda Key since 2022. He handles ants, spiders, roaches, hornet nests, termites and more across Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Powell, Clinton and Maryville, without the lengthy commitment many companies ask for.
Sound familiar?
Here is how Precision handles the things people are tired of, with proof from real Google reviews.
Tennessee requires a written agreement for some services, but Precision skips the lengthy commitment many companies ask for. Stay because the service works.
“He was courteous, looked professional, and wasn't pushing to sell me anything, which is awesome!…”
Dakoda looks for what is drawing pests in and treats the source, not just the bugs you can see.
“Had a company come out for extermination over the course of a few months and saw no signs of improvements. I contacted the owner or Precision and after a couple of treatments my problem was completely eliminated!…”
Right now, Dakoda does all the service work himself. Customers say he keeps them posted before he arrives.
“…He always lets me know a couple days ahead whe it's time for visit and when he'll be in my area. He texts me that day when he's close to coming to my house so I'm not surprised when he shows up.”
