Arrived on time, sprayed the perimiters of the basement on the inside and house on the exterior. everything went well and very timely. return offer deals were suggested by company for further preventative measures, but I told him I was going to wait and see first, but at least he did offer them at a discount.

We found our new exterminator! We were concerned the cat might have brought in some fleas and when I woke up with a rash we panicked that he did or worse we had bed bugs. I sent an e-mail inquiry and Jay called first thing the next morning. Someone came out that day and provided a brief consultation of what could be done. After a trip to the nurse it appears my rash might be plant related, not bug related. But 1st Response was so prompt and professional that if the bee hive under our deck returns in the Spring they will be my only call.

It went fine. They came when they said they would and worked inside first so I could leave for work while they did the outside of the house.
Description of Work: I had an Angie's List 50% off discount for them, although I'd used them in the past. I thought they were good; the girl on the phone is very friendly and the man who came was punctual and seemed thorough.

The owner, Jay Neff, came to the rescue a few years ago when we had an indoor yellow jacket infestation. We were first time customers and so impressed with Jay's level of service that we decided to become preventive maintenance customers. Jay and his team are not only professional but very personable and extremely customer oriented. Jay's technicians and Lisa in the office are all so great and easy to work with. We highly recommend 1st Response Pest Management.
Description of Work: We are on the top tier (most expensive) of 1st Response's preventive maintenance program. There are different levels of maintenance and, of course, they provide one-time services, too. Throughout the year a technician will apply/spray outdoor treatments and once a year conduct an indoor inspection and spray for pests. Along with the applications, the technician also checks and rebaits indoor and outdoor mice stations. This is the routine program but anytime we think there is a problem between applications they will take care of it. Since we've been on the maintenance program, we haven't required additional treatments. In the past, our biggest problems have been indoor carpenter ants, outdoor borer bees and mice in our garage. 1st Response has successfully taken care of these issues. The most recent treatment was outside spraying.

I could not be more pleased with this company. Everyone is very nice, easy to work with and very attentive to our needs. I will be staying with them as a prepaid annual customer for as long as I am in this home. You will not find better service.
Description of Work: 1st Response comes each quarter to apply insect control and maintain bait boxes for small critters. In addition, I had to have several treatments indoors for carpet beetles, which Jay handled very well. We also have used a trap provided by the company to capture and relocate two ground hogs who had moved in under our shed.

Description of Work: Excellent customer care. Responded very quickly to my pest control needs. The employee name was given to me via phone so that I could expect his arrival on our appointment date. He was efficient, explained the process thoroughly and was very concerned with my overall experience. An agreed upon schedule was determined for future pest control management.

Have been using 1st Response for over a year now. They are always prompt, honest and professional. It is easy to do business with them. They call you to schedule service, they are on time and work around your schedule. Payment is easy and I haven't had a pest problem since. They are honest and hard working. They never try to sell you any service you do not need. Used them at work, had an issue at home, they cleared it up and told me I did not need a quarterly service at home.
Description of Work: They came out to do their quarterly service.

The job manager came into the house and looked around. He asked us what our observations where concerning bugs. He explained clearly what they would be doing and what it would accomplish. He went outside and we went around the exterior of the house and he explained what they would do and what we should expect. For instance, we would see some bugs crawling across the sidewalk to try and get away from the pesticide. (Later on I did see this happening several times.) After that they did the applications. We talked to them about the future and scheduled them to return in October, which they did punctually. They were very friendly, very informative, did an excellent and effective job. So they have now serviced our home inside and out twice. . We highly recommend First Response to anyone considering a pest exterminator and we will use them in the future when necessary.
Description of Work: First Response applied bug killer both inside the house around the baseboards on each level of the house and also around the entire outside of the house. We have a "floating" basement floor around which we had some bug activity. They were very careful to make sure that got that area well, since that was the main area of visual activity.

Everything has gone great. Would use again, no changes.
Description of Work: Bought 1st Reponse Deal on Angies List for a quarterly application of pest control around our home. We had trouble with spiders and their nests in the eaves around the outside of our house. They sprayed and so far, we have had no further problems. In the summer we also had some ants in the house and they sprayed around the house for that, and we have had no further problems. Will definitely use again. They have called before they come and are very prompt and professional.

Fine, I don't see any wasp/hornet's nest this year, so far. However, I would like to know about the chemicals they use, so I can google them to see if there are any side effects. They could not provide me with that information.

Their technician, Chris, showed up on time and we did a walk thru of our house so that I could point out the various areas of entry of the stink bugs. I also explained we have issues with wolf spiders in the Fall and ants in the Summer. He promised their treatments would address all of our concerns. He wore plastic coverings on his shoes so as to avoid tracking dirt into our home, which was nice.
Description of Work: These guys are great! I called them to come out because we are having a problem with stink bugs again this year. After our experience with these annoying bugs last year, I swore I'd never try to deal with them on my own again. I signed up for their Gold Program to insure ongoing treatments year round.

Can't say enough good about the project from start to finish. The company was timely in their response to my inquiry and the technician who did the work was very professional. He described the details of the application and proffered information about the company's services without that pushy sales pitch that some deliver.

They are very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. After finding sawdust in a basement closet, we were afraid we had termites. From the initial call to 1st Response, Lisa asked what other signs we were noticing (large ants, moisture in the basement) and was able to determine we were most likely experiencing carpenter ants instead of termites. She explained what kind of treatment would be used and alleviated any fears I had about using sprays around my baby and dogs, and also gave me an estimate based on square footage. Chris came and checked out the sawdust (determined it to be carpenter ant frass), found further evidence of ants and poked around behind insulation until he found the ants nest. He left the baits to do their job and treated outside the house. Two weeks later, he came back to check on the nest (no sign of the ants) and sprayed the basement and outside the house. We signed up for the Summer and Fall treatment program (missed the Spring treatment) in hopes of preventing any further infestations.
Description of Work: Initial carpenter ant treatment with indoor bait and outdoor spray around the house. Follow up basement treatment and summer spray 2 weeks later.

They were prompt, thorough, and professional.
Description of Work: I had a problem with brown spiders and other insects. This company was very professional and thorough - took time to explain everything to me. My plan I bought even covers spraying inside and outside the house. I found carpenter bees outside my house and my plan covered those. I have noticed a huge difference in the decrease of bugs and they are very prompt about scheduled spraying. The annual plan is a bit pricey but well worth it.
