They responded very quickly to my request. The person who came did a professional job and it was pouring down rain! He was a trooper!

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. It went fine. We don't have any complaints about it. There were no extra charges. They did exactly what was advertised.

We have an issue with rodents getting into the crawl space and chewing their way into our flex duct. Obviously this means war. Having fought this battle year after year with moderate success I decided to hire professionals this year to seriously tip the scale in my favor. I mean total rodent domination. I found this company on AL and checked out their website where I found I could schedule an estimate online. Very convenient. They called me the next day and we set up the appointment. The tech arrived as scheduled and we agreed on a battle plan that included sealing the entire crawl space, replacing vents and baiting the pests. The work was done professionally and time will tell how the rodents will react. I'll update the review in a couple weeks after the final service and let you know how it works out, but from the initial looks of things I'm highly optimistic. The Angie's List coupon was honored.
**Update -
A-1 came back out the second time as agreed upon and completed all services. All rodents decimated and no new signs of rodent activity. Even the hamster has been put on high alert and has become more friendly. Thanks guys!

Called A-1 to come treat a residence after noticing signs of pests, they were pleasant and responsive on the phone and had someone out within 24 hours. Their office called to let me know their technician was on the way and he was on time. Service was professional and thorough. Price was reasonable. Would use their services again and recommend them.

It was good. They came out and they were very professional. We didn't have any pest problems but they found moisture problem and helped us out with that. They did a wonderful job. They were great to work with.

They have been very helpful, but also with another issue we were having. They helped us resolve the issue. We are going to keep using them for pest troubles and maintenance contract. They also set some traps and plugged some holes as well as made sure there was no termite damage. Everyone in the office and the guy who came out, named Rick, was super.

It turned out pretty good. I chose to go with them because they were rated high on Angie's List and they were the cheapest. I was completely satisfied with the inspection that they did. Everything was cool. Their pricing was great and everything about them was good.

They did a termite inspection and year contract. On time and very professional. I also asked them for a quote for a crawl space vapor barrier which was reasonable and had it installed a few weeks later.

Great. This is an awesome company. Everyone I have spoken to or came to my home has been highly professional. I purchased a Pest plan from my exterior and as a bonus, it covers unlimited treatment for indoor problems. They place booties over their shoes so they don't track in dirt. Now, how many companies do that? The only other company I have experience this with is Maximum Air which is another professional company - they replaced my heating and cooling system last year.

The company was very professional, and had to deal with allot of dead rodents under the house. They cleaned out the rodents, and installed a barrier. We would use this company again.

We didnt have any complications or problems. They did the routine inspection and were not able to find any damage or issues from termites. The technician was on time and handled everything very well.

We had purchased a big deal for the service. They came out, and it really was what I consider non-invasive. I was very confortable with them, and they did what they said they would, and they gave me a certificate. They came on time, and were very pleasant to work with.

He was very good and I would use him again. I have already used them again. I had a big gap that he found between the crawl space and the exterior of the home. He came out, put a two by four in, and closed it up. So, mice should not be able to get in under the house. The office staff and Nate the exterminator are all very nice, they are competent, and they are all very well trained in pest control. It is a very good company. I thought that they were honest and thorough. I think that they just did a good job, overall. They had a lot of good marks from Angie’s List. I would use them again.

Answered questions I had about a previous inspection - I had been told that there was mold under the house and some very expensive work needed to be done - all lies I was told today.

A-1 was punctual; appropriate attire; respectful and courteous; knowledgeable and thorough. It took about an hour.
He gave recommendations on how we could help the situation. The treatment lasted for about 3 months.

They offer excellent service and they come right out. They check everything out and do spraying. They are very pleasant to work with and the exterminator is excellent too.

Technician was prompt, courteous, professional. My only complaint was the cost. Our house is on a slab, is not very big so the inspection was simple and performed in about 30 minutes. This means the hourly cost is $280 per hour if we were charged per hour.
The inspection is a flat rate but I think this is way too high seeing as how it was an inspection and no termites were detected and no insecticide was applied.

Response from A-1 Inc Exterminators
"We are certainly sorry to hear that the member feels our price for a Wood Destroying Insect/Organism report for a mortgage loan closing is too high. Unfortunately, this service is not billed or charged based on a hourly rate. No matter how large or small the home is, this service is one that calls for several requirements unrelated to the amount time spent at the property. First, we must send a WDI certified inspector. This certification requires course study attendance, a passing grade on the testing and then regular renewal of the certification via continued study/testing. These certifications cost technicians and the company where he is employed, time and money (additional fees for renewal and courses). Additionally, required liability insurance for pest control companies includes additional premium based on the actual number of reports we may issue in a year, not the size of the properties or time spent, just the number of reports. WDI reports for loan closings represent a company's greatest amount of exposure and liability. Then, once the documents are returned to the office (a complete graph and WDI worksheet), the results of the inspection are transferred to a nationally used form - the NPMA-33 (required) and then issued to the lender/agent/homeowner, etc. This form is a legal document required to make a formal representation to all interested parties so they can make an educated decision about buying or loaning money for the purchase of real estate. Finally, we include a one year retreatment warranty on the structure at no additional charge As one can see, there's much more to it than just how much time it takes to inspect a structure. I hope this more detailed explanation of our charges is helpful to the member."

Overall, outstanding job. Inspected exterior and interior for termites. I purchased the Termidor treatment from A-1 Exterminator in 2011. This was a follow-up inspection.
