Sam Pautz

Mentor Pestologist

I have worked for Rainbow for 9 years this coming March. I was in the Tree care division, for a season and then switched to pest experts. I was in the Greenhouse/landscaping industry for 13 years before coming onto Rainbow Pest experts. I am originally from a small town, just outside of Milwaukee WI, yes I am a Packers fan, Vikings fans don’t be jealous. In my free time I am an avid outdoors person.

My role with Pest experts is to Train and Mentor new and senior techs on how to be safe, do a job properly and efficiently all while being safe. What I love about Rainbow Pest experts is the tightness and camaraderie of the group and everyone’s willingness to learn and help each other out.

Super happy with Joshua's service yesterday. He was friendly and also answered all of my questions regarding the service and additional pest remedies. Also, I have enjoyed the annual plan; it has been great being able to ask for another treatment between services when I notice more bugs, especially during those rainy seasons!

I called Rainbow Pest because I had used their services in the past. I was glad they were able to come within a few days of my contacting them. The service tech, Dave, was friendly and very professional. He answered all of my questions and clearly explained the company’s service plans. If you are looking for a reliable company, give them a call.

Cassidy arrived exactly at the time given. Was efficient about the work, made sure to put on shoe covers each time, explained the work to me, knew about the next service date, answered all my questions and followed through with everything that was supposed to be done.Although not there to do hornet and wasp extermination, Cassidy helped educate me on how they will treat it at the next visit and why it’s more effective to do it at that time.I have had no signs of mice since Rainbow starting treating my home. Something another pest control company was not able to do and blamed it on my home being connected to the neighbor’s (attached townhome).
