I've had service with O'Connor for about a year now. They are wonderful family owned pest pest-control company local to Camarillo. I can only say wonderful things about my technician, Henry. He called me a day before as requested, was on time with his appointments, and even would come back when needed. I would always know my service was completed because he would leave me a slip on my door. I highly recommend them for the Camarillo area as their prices are reasonable and they are more than happy to come back whenever you need them.
