“Got our services set up today and Carl was very knowledgeable to help us get on top of the ant activity we’re seeing and be informed for other local pest issues. Straightforward pricing, no gimmicks, no upsells. You can tell they care. They offer a full spectrum of services, highly recommend!”

“Chuck and Shane provided absolutely outstanding service. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure our home was protected. They took the time to explain everything, answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond to make sure the treatment was done thoroughly. Customer service like this is hard to find these days. They were friendly, respectful of our property, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. You can tell they take pride in their work and truly care about their customers. If you’re looking for a pest control company that delivers exceptional results and treats customers the right way, I highly recommend Chuck and Shane. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Thank you both for an amazing job!”

“Great experience with Rhino Pest Control! Chuck was our technician and he was excellent! He patiently answered all our questions before starting, and even caught and treated some problem areas outside our property we hadn't noticed. He explained everything clearly without trying to upsell us, and gave honest advice when we asked. Highly recommend Chuck!”

“I never thought I would feel compelled to leave a review for pest control, until I was referred to Rhino. They are so polite and gracious. I never felt pressure to buy anything. Every conversation has been professional and relaxed. They are very knowledgeable about what they do and their prices are reasonable. They even have guarantees. No contracts is amazing because it feel like every pest service wants to pressure you to sign and get locked into a contract and that's stressful when you're trying to make a good financial decision. I strongly recommend this business.”

“Highly recommend Rhino Pest Defense! We’ve tried other pest control companies in the area, but Rhino is the one we’re sticking with. They’re always quick to respond and address any concerns we have. If we ever need a retreat, they come out promptly, and communication with them has been wonderful every step of the way. Great service and a team you can count on!”

“Excellent service from Rhino Pest Control! Carl did an outstanding job. He was professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure everything was properly treated. I really appreciate his attention to detail and great customer service. Highly recommend Rhino Pest Control!”

“I had a great experience with Rhino Pest Control and highly recommend them. I called yesterday afternoon about a gnat issue I had been noticing downstairs in my living room and kitchen and they were able to come out first thing this morning at 8:00 AM. That kind of quick response already set them apart. There was a little confusion at first because it was initially thought to be an ant issue but the technician, Carl, quickly assessed everything and explained that what I was dealing with were gnats likely coming from some dead roses. He was very knowledgeable and honest in letting me know it was not something major and would likely go away on its own. However, he still took the time to treat the downstairs and spray around the sinks to give me peace of mind which I really appreciated. What really stood out was how thorough and accommodating he was. I mentioned a wasp problem I had months ago near the top of my roof by the recessed lights. Even though there were no visible wasps or nests especially after all the recent rain in Katy he still went above and beyond to treat the area just based on my concern. That level of care and willingness to help even when nothing was clearly visi”

“Our tech Shane was excellent!! He explained what to expect and was very courteous. He sprayed outside and inside the house for ants. Shortly after he left, we found a swarm of ants in an unexpected area in a coat closet and he retuned within the hour to take care of it. Great customer service!”

“Great service from the moment I called! Matthew helped me and booked my appointment quick and easy and Karl came out and informed me on everything that was going to be done after I told him what we were seeing around the house! Very happy with the service and glad I chose them. Highly recommended!!!”

“Very impressed with the service of this company! Matthew was great at communicating the schedule. The technician Carl went above and beyond for the initial service to check and fix issues and explain everything. I have never had another pest control company take time to be so thorough. Highly recommend!”

“We had a great experience with Rhino Pest Protection. The two gentlemen who came out did an excellent job walking us through the service being performed both inside and outside of our home. They answered all of our questions, inspected and treated the specific areas we were concerned about, and made sure we understood everything before they left. They were very respectful, professional, and provided great customer service from start to finish. Highly recommend Rhino Pest Protection!”

“Amazing service! Matthew explained everything prior to us switching over from another pest control service which helped us make our decision easier. Josh was our tech who did an amazing job explaining what all will be getting done. He took care of all the areas we were concerned about. Reliable and knowledgeable team!”

“Honest and fairly priced. Hard to find these days especially when it comes to pest control. Shane is always thorough and makes sure that things are taken care of properly! I highly recommend Rhino if you want an honest company that will get the job done!”

“We had our first treatment with Mr. Carl and he was the best! He was timely, thorough and patient in applying the treatment and attending to our specific concerns. We found RHINO on Google and trusted the reviews! Indeed we experienced the quality! Highly recommend this team.”

“Title: Dependable, thorough, and top-quality service! ​ We couldn't be happier with Rhino Pest Protection! Moving into a new home, having reliable pest control is a must, and they delivered 100%. They were thorough, professional, efficient, and super attentive to our needs. They took care of our property with total precision and gave us complete peace of mind.

“I highly recommend Rhino Pest Protection for any pest control needs. Shane recently serviced our property and was extremely professional, thorough, and attentive to our concerns. He took the time to address everything carefully and ensured we felt confident in the treatment plan. Excellent service all around!”

“Just moved into town and had a fantastic experience with this company. Josh was very kind and knowledgable. Gave us great information and did a great job of spraying the interior and exterior. Highly recommend.”

“Our technician Shane was great. Very friendly and informative. He communicated and was early. I haven’t found a place that has beat their pricing. And they won’t trick you into signing a 2 year contract :) because they don’t have a contract. I’ve hoped around to many pest companies and finally found one I will stay with. Locally ran as well!”

“Had an ant issue that needed addressing ASAP and Rhino was able to get someone out within 24hrs on short notice. Matt came out to assess and treat for the ant issue both outside and inside the house. What I thought was a carpenter ant issue, turned out to be fire ants. Which he treated for. He even took the time to inspect the ant bodies to verify that they were fire ants. Professional, friendly, and schedule flexible. I highly recommend if you have insect issues. Thanks Rhino and Matt for helping in getting the ant issue under control!”
