1st response was easy to work with, communicated well, and were very professional. They provided a reminder call and were on time to our home. The entire service took approximately an hour. The gentlemen that performed the service was very thorough and precise. The price was good and we were told if we had any issues they would come at no cost to take care of them. Since our home was sprayed we've only seen a few stink bugs, which were no big deal. We haven't had any other issues!
Description of Work: We bought a new home and wanted to set up routine pest prevention. They came and sprayed our home for pest control in the fall season.

They are very good to work with. They always call me in advance to arrange a time that is convenient for me and my work schedule. Their products are very effective and keep me from having to deal with issues with annoying bugs and pests.
Description of Work: They complete quarterly pest control management for me. They spray the inside and outside of my house to prevent bugs and any issues from occurring.

My mother became ill around the last time 1st Response came to my home so I haven't had time to write this review until now, but I haven't forgotten the excellent service they provided. Yellow jackets were building a nest in a light fixture near our patio. I called 1st Response and they came out promptly to assess the situation on July 31st. Their polite and informative service man sprayed the fixture and surrounding area and told me to call them if I noticed the bees again. Less than a month later, I noticed more yellow jackets behind the fixture and called 1st Response again. This time they treated the area with a powder and told me to call back if the bees weren't gone within the next few days. A few days later, when I noticed the bees again, Jay, the owner, came out. He tried to remove the fixture, but the screws attaching it to the house were rusted. He said to call him in the next few days if the latest treatment didn't work. I think the yellow jackets are gone, but after the latest visit from 1st Response, I.ve been taking care of my mother and wasn;t home during the hot weather long enough to be completely certain. I am certain if I had called again during a reasonable time after Jay came out he would have continued to work on the problem until it was resolved. I really appreciate their prompt, professional and friendly service!

The treatment they provide does the job, we have had no problems since using them with ants and spiders in the house. We live in a wooded area and get a lot of insects and crawly things in and around the house, and 1st Response takes care of those.
Description of Work: We signed up for the gold, quarterly treatment. We have used 1st Response for a couple years now and have been very happy with them. I prepay the service (treatment for spiders, ants, etc. around the house) for the year. They come out quarterly, and alert me the day before they come that they will be treating our house.

Every treatment has been effortless on my part, you do not have to move furniture, items to be treated. The treatment is effective yet seemingly orderless. We have a dog and children, neither were effected by treatments. This is our second year, we originally called due to a brown recluse spider bite in our home, our son was bitten, terrible treatment and scare. The technician, Chris, was understanding and assuring that he could eliminate the spiders. Never questioned re-treatments, and all involved through the office and home treatments have been professional and effective. Would recommend to all my friends.
Description of Work: I have been a client of 1st Response for going on my second year. We chose to sign up for the continual treatments, we had a dangerous spider issue in our home, they completely understood, addressed the pest and any other pest that may be residing and have helped us rest easy in our home. The technicians are professional, kind, responsive and effective. I feel comfortable with the treatments with my pets and children. We have never been disappointed in any service. That is difficult to find these days, I would suggest this service to anyone that wants to have a safe pest free home!!!

Several thousand bees were retrieved to be relocated. There were some bees that were left because it was impossible to collect them all. On 9/11 First Response returned and eliminated the remaining bees that were still hanging around where their home had been. I could then reinstall the trim board. No bees have returned. First Response was great and I appreciated that they wanted to save the bees like I did. The beekeepers were great ...helpful & very informative. I learned quite a bit about bees that day a well as ending up with some honey.
Description of Work: Took care of honeybees that had made their home behind an outside window. On 9/5/2013 First Response determined the bees were indeed honeybees & since they are endangered neither Jay from First Response nor I wanted to destroy them. There was no charge for that visit. Jay contacted a beekeeper to see if they could remove them. On 9/11/13 the beekeeper- Olivars Honey Farm-Mr. & Mrs. Albaugh arrived. A window trim board was removed and a large bee's nest was exposed. They spent several hours removing the honeycombs and the bees.

They were able to come in the very next day. They put a gel bait up under my cupboards that we could barely see and could not smell. The ants were literally gone within 24 hours and have not returned all summer! I could not be more thrilled. We also decided to purchase the entire house plan for about $500. They came out a few times over the summer and we have been 'pest' free since.
Description of Work: We initially had a slew of black 'carpenter' ants that completely invaded our kitchen. The black traps from the grocery store were not working well enough and they started migrating to the rest of the house. With two small children, I was concerned with them being on the floor. I was also concerned with the type of product that a company like this might use.

Overall they were prompt and courteous. The clover mites were taken care of and they were careful to avoid our Koi Pond. The ants did come back within 90 days but 1st Response had someone out within a couple of days to respray the affected areas. Considering what it would have cost me to do this job myself, besides the fact i wouldn't have access to the same sprays, I am happy with the price and service.

They were professional and courteous. They sprayed under deck;, roof and floor of deck, 8 feet out from house, total sides and front and back of vinyl on the house....the first time they sprayed out interior thoroughly...particularly the basement. We have not seen any spiders, etc., since they first sprayed a year ago inside the house and very few outside anywhere.

The overall experience was great. Chris was very knowledgeable about the products being used and the best approach to take with the different insects we had seen. He was conscientious of the fact we had small children and a dog in the home. This did not hinder obtaining the services we needed. Overall, I would recommend this company and already have my next appointment scheduled for this fall.
Description of Work: Chris, our technician, came to our house and did a full inspection inside and out. We requested the service due to the relatively large number of spiders and other insects we noticed in our home. After receiving the service, we noticed a significant reduction (if not complete elimination) of spiders and other insects in our home.

I have been a stay at home mom for 20+ years. Throughout this time I have had to call on many kinds of professionals for anything from appliance repair, carpet cleaning, lawn maintenance, painters, etc. There is always a bit of hesitation on my part as to whether or not I feel comfortable having a stranger enter my home while I am alone or with children. I have often asked my husband to work from home on these days. This is something you NEVER have to worry about with 1st. Response. The people who come to your home are professional, friendly, "clean-cut", respectful and prompt. I am always at ease being in my home with them. On top of that, the work that they do is great! They have come to search for raccoons, mice, squirrels, bees, spiders, and more in my home. They are careful to watch for your pets and use organic products that will not be a danger or threat to you or your animals that live with you. They will go the extra mile and are courteous and friendly. I would strongly recommend using them for your pest control needs. And the price is great and affordable.
Description of Work: The provider came to check our attic for rodents and then set up "stations" to prevent rodents from entering the home and then proceeded to spray our property to ensure a "bug-less" home.

THIS COMPANY IS AWESOME!! The entire staff is great! We have used them for years- mostly to management ants and spiders. They will come out to our house in between sprays if we see any bugs in our house! Most of all, they are ALWAYS on time, polite and never make me feel like I'm a crazy lady when I make multiple calls :)

Excellent. I was please with the company. From call to visit they were professional, knowledgeable, and did what they said they would do.
Description of Work: We found a yellow jacket nest in our garage roof. I called the company and they were able to send someone the next day. Because the nest was outside I did not have to be home. During the call they explained how things worked - that the technician would do a thorough inspection, then dust the nest. They explained that if the first dusting did not kill the yellow jackets, that a second visit would be warranted, which was included in the cost. I was told that the technician would call to report findings at the end of his visit. The technician did call at the end of the visit. He politely explained what hAppened during the visit and next steps. (If I saw any yellow jackets by Sunday, I was told to call and they would send the technician out for a second dusting. Turns out one visit did the trick and a second visit was unnecessary.

My experience with this company was very good - from the really nice woman I talked to in the office to set up the appointment, to the excellent technician who showed up promptly on the scheduled date. The technician took time to answer all of my questions and thoroughly checked the house and locations which were difficult to reach (two attics!). I understand the difficulties in dealing with a sporadic infestation of mice, so was realistic about treatment (expected I may still have problems), but since 1st Response came by there have been no more noises in the walls. I definitely will have them back in the winter to check the bait stations and will not hesitate to call them in the future for any other pest issues I may have around the house. Great company!
Description of Work: Checked for the cause of noises in walls, set bait stations in many locations, checked and set more stations on a second visit.
