Great. See above.
Description of Work: These folks are great at what they do. They helped our old-ish brownstone with a minor mouse invasion. They charge a sizeable fee up front but then come back as often as necessary to get rid of the problem. Most pest companies throw down some glue traps and spread some poison. These guys look at each situation and assess what needs to be done. I have recommended them to two friends who were equally as happy.

I really had a problem because there were roaches everywhere in my house. They did a good job of exterminating roaches. They were polite, friendly, and businesslike. They were here on the day and time that I had scheduled them. Overall, I have had a positive experience with them. Their price was really worth the work that they did, and I would recommend them.
Description of Work: They sprayed our apartment for roaches, and I had to leave the apartment after they were finished for about 2-3 hours. Then, they had little roach traps that they filled and placed them around. They did the work for us 3-4 years ago. I have gotten a new supply of the traps, and I don’t have roaches anymore.

The contact on the phone for 21st Century was extremely thorough in terms of getting all of the information she needed to generate the estimate and got back to me within a few hours. The contact gave me a full run down of what was included and also a description of the type of chemicals they used to address concerns of residents who had young babies and/respiratory problems. The price included a 60 day guarantee. they would return for free within 60 days if the problem recurred. Since we had had quite a few mice sightings prior to that, we felt that the guarantee would make it worthwhile even though other quotes came in cheaper. A team of 3 arrived on time and spent 3.5 hours in our building going through every apartment and the basement. My neighbors all commented on how thorough and knowledgeable they were. We haven't had any recurrence since but even so 21st Century phoned a couple of weeks later to check in. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a mouse problem in our 8 unit pre-war building. 21st Century came in and sealed up points of entry in all of the 8 units plus the basement and lay down traps and bait throughout the building.

He is the most knowledgeable and sweet guy. He is painstakingly thorough and takes his time. He informs you as he goes along. Him and his assistant are lovely guys. He gives warranties on his work and completely follows through on them - he was out here at least 3 times to make sure that the mouse issue was solved. He blew away the competition!
Description of Work: They have taken care of mouse problems and a water bug infestation.
