We have been using 1st Choice for 6 years for quarterly pest control service. They are awesome! George is great and always there when we need him. When we first moved in to our house we would have the occasional "water bug" sighting in our home. Since starting quarterly service, we have had 0 sighting in the last 4 years. They always note issues around the house (ants, etc.), are easy to schedule with and always do a great job. I would recommend them to anyone.

I bought my home recently and the previous owners left this company's business card. It seems that this is the company they relied on. At first my experience with this company was rocky, particularly with the appointment schedule, but the owner was able to correct it with good faith and the service turned out to be professional and thorough. I received an annual price quote for their services and it was very reasonable. I will use them again.

Dear Member, I am so sorry you feel you wasted your money! I only wish you had verbalized your feelings. I am a consumer as well as a business owner and I totally understand how frustrating it can be to pay for something expecting a certain result and getting something different. Believe me that as that business owner my frustration in not being able to deliver on a customers’ expectations is something that can genuinely keep me up at night. However, pests are unpredictable and not every problem can be solved as easily or effectively as the last…or even the next. We try our best, but sometimes we’re not able to look like the superhero we did at the last house. Are you still hearing the noise? I would be happy to return at no charge to try other methods in addition the ones we have employed so far. Please let me know if there is anything else we can do to help. Thanks a bunch! George Wright

George is awesome! Professional, courteous, and prompt. He patiently answers all my questions...and I ask a lot. He has been very thorough when inspecting and treating our home and yard for unwanted pests. I plan to continue service using the quarterly service 1st Choice Pest Control offers and highly recommend the company.

George was awesome - professional, knowledgeable and punctual. He spent a lengthy period of time (1 1/2-2 hours?) inspecting the property - crawled around the entire attic and crawl space, then offered his opinion on how to combat our rat problem. The previous pest control company basically wanted to use bait stations but offered no solution as to how to keep the rats from continuing to gain access to our attic. 1st Choice was able to get started promptly on the important part of the job (bait stations and traps) and completed the exclusions in a reasonable amount of time as well. George was also able to locate the exact entry point for the rats during the exclusion process. I thought the price for the exclusion was very reasonable. So far we have not had any additional rat activity but we do have peace of mind knowing that the exclusion has sealed any known entry points.
Description of Work: Inspected property completely, provided detailed proposal of work to be done. Filled gap behind soffitt around house perimter, performed exclusion at base of downspouts, filled and sealed gaps around foundation vents. Installed 3 exterior bait stations and 1 each in the crawl space and attic. Installed and baited multiple snap traps in attic. Checked bait stations and traps for activity. Performed initial pest control service.

I called 1st Choice Pest Control to come to my home and spray for spiders. The lady in the office is very courteous and helpful. George, the owner, came to my home and talked with me. He did an inspection and one of his employees performed the spraying. I have since contracted to have them come quarterly to my home ($90 quarterly). They sprayed the outside of my home and inside the garage. I chose not to have the inside of my home sprayed. Additionally, I also used this company to replace my venting and install a vapor barrier.(Approximately $500) They did an excellent job installing the new vents and access door. Two of my vents needed to have French drains dug. I am very satisfied with their work and the vents look great as well. I would highly recommend this company to any of my friends, family and whomever.

My home is rodent-free and 1st Choice did the job that another company said they had done but had not. Mr. Wright was always pleasant and responsive to questions. He provided pictures to show what needed to be done and they cleaned up after all the work was done. Highly recommend them and would use them again - and probably will because I live in an old house in Norfolk. At least now I know a company who will perform the work they say the will!

I interviewed several providers to deal with a problem with roof rats at an attached house. Several providers assured me it would be an ongoing problem and that I would need to call them back for repeat visits. Jordan, with 1st. Choice Pest Control made me feel the most confidant that he could resolve my problem. He used several modalities including permanently blocking points of entry. I have not had any more problem. I began wanting to be certain that 11 months later there had been no more rats in the attic and that all points of entry were still securely blocked. When I spoke with the owner, George, about my concern, he personally went over and checked out the attic as well as making sure the points of entry were still secured. His attitude and desire to see that I was still completely satisfied could not have been better. I feel very comfortable that my problem is still under control. I like to deal with someone who is reasonably priced, does what he says he will do, is completely professional, and has a cheerful "how can I serve you?" attitude - a level of service that is often hard to find. 1st Choice has my highest recommendation for all of the above. I see no reason to use any other pest control service.

I initiated service with 1st Choice Pest Control after moving back into my home after being stationed out of the area for a few years. From what I observed, my tenants and property manager hadn't used any kind of pest control service. My home had ant, and spider issues in various places. I called 1st Choice Pest Control; Mr. George Wright responded immediately and explained to me all the services he could provide. I chose a quarterly program where the technician treated my home every 3 months and have been doing this for over a year now. On one occasion, in between treatments, I discovered a large infestation of ants away from my home, yet still on my property within my landscaping. The very next day the area was treated free of charge. I've been very pleased with the quality and timeliness of the service I've received.

I contacted George via Angie's List based on his reviews. He was prompt returning my call, offered an inspection with no charge, quickly responded with an estimate, and offered and Angie's List Discount. He and his assistant Brandon are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. They've endured my many questions and concerns. Since his first visit, he has already been back to recheck baits and check previous exclusion work. It is so nice to find someone who listens, does the work professionally, in a timely manner and right! I will continue to use 1st Choice and would recommend him to anyone!

Dear Member, I have checked our database and calendars and don't see where we did any inspection or work for you. Also I see you are in NC and we do not work outside of Virginia. I think you may have posted your review on our profile by mistake. If I have overlooked something please call me anytime. 757-892-4913 Respectfully, George Wright 1st Choice Pest Control, LLC

I initially called George due to an ant problem over the summer. They literally disappeared after his treatment! While he was doing his treatment, he spotted other rodent issue. He was willing to show me, but I passed. I asked him about a service agreement since I have children and dogs and I didn't want any further issues to arise. Before each service, his office assistant calls a day or two in advance to remind me of the appoitnment and he emails me the invoice with a signature from his technician. I'm really impressed!

They came out to do a free inspection and I ended up not needing their services, but they were so professional, pleasant, and considerate that I'm almost sad that I made them come all the way out for nothing. I am, however, extremely glad that I found them and will most definitely use them in the future should I need them!

Thank you so much for your review and comments! I am sorry we weren't able to provide you with a service that fit within your budget and, I truly hope all your needs are being met by the service provider you selected. However, I would like to say that I hoped that you would have elaborated on the entire interaction with our company instead of just focusing on the pricing. We have built a very good reputation with our customers and on Angie's List. Our reputation is everything to us and it is what we proudly stand on! As I recall I made two free visits to your home because there was no one there for our first scheduled appointment to give me access for inspection. During my Wood Destroying Insect inspection I also looked for conducive conditions that may lead to insect infestation in the future. I noted a very high Wood Moisture Content reading in the rear of the crawl space and let your wife know that you may need to check for leaks around the door or window over the deck that may have contributed to the high readings. We always try to do our best when inspecting someone’s home and provide them with a full picture of what we find. This is our policy and it applies to every inspection whether the potential client chooses to go with our company or not. I hope that you feel that we did our best for you too. If we can be any help in the future please let us know. Respectfully, George Wright 1st Choice Pest Control, LLC
