on time, they said I was not at risk of termites because manufactured home had vinyl and none skirting. the proof of effectiveness will be how long before another spider comes inside. I never had scorpion or black widow problem.
Description of Work: not much too it, they used backpack sprayer for loop around house and shed. I do not have experience with other service providers to accurately judge this company. Was surprised that they did not use chemical respirator. Main reason I hired was for nastier poisons than I like to deal with

He had a 2 pound pressurized can, and walked around my house and sprayed inside/outside. They did not keep their word. They were supposed to call me to set up a Certified Termite Inspector. They told me with the spray treatment that I would get a termite inspection the same day. The employee who showed up was not certified to inspect for termites. They were also supposed to inspect the crawlspace, which they did not do. I was not happy with the service that I received. I had signed up for a yearly treatment agreement, which I have now called them back to cancel.
Description of Work: I bought a deal for the $49 for a Preventive Interior and Exterior Pest Treatment off of Angie's List.

Randy comes every month, calling the night before so I have a window of time to expect him. He does a marvelous job. After two-three months, most of the bugs are gone; no termites or signs of termites. Office staff is also responsive to questions, as I found out in working on a specific day to schedule my recurring service.

Lia was extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming with answers to my questions and requests for advice. She discussed various rodent control methods, the pros and cons of each, as well as explaining the chemicals she used to treat my home. She did not rush and was patient all of my questions. I was very satisfied with the service and impressed by the reasonable price for a termite 'insurance' contract, which I chose to purchase. I am definitely recommending 1st Choice to my neighbors and friends!

At 8 a.m. the workers arrived (on time) to start the treatment of my property. They dug a trench around most of my house for the treatment. A few areas were skipped because I had some long narrow bricks (one layer) around an 8 foot area against the house. If they had told me I would have moved the bricks. It would have taken me about 3 minutes to do that. They finished the treatment by spraying the poison etc. into the trench and refilling it. They let me know when it was done. Overall I am happy with the service. I just wish the inspector or the workers would have let me know to move the bricks (they were holding down an outdoor carpet so the wind wouldn't blow it away.
Description of Work: 1st Choice Termite & Pest Inc. came and inspected my home for signs of termite infestation/damage. I had some dry rot, but no termites. Then I received a call to schedule the treatment of my property. On 5/17/2016 two people came and treated my property. My home was built in 2001.

Rhonda and Lia were both very professional and very easy to work with, coordinating their time here and scheduling us ahead of a planned exterior house painting job. Our concerns regarding chemicals in areas where we have animals were noted and addressed with great attention to detail. We would definitely have work done by this company again.

I called 1st Choice early in the morning about the swarm of bees that had made a home in the joists of my patio ceiling. Lia from 1st Choice showed up to evaluate the problem just when she said she would a couple of hours later. She quoted a price and we agreed that the next morning would be a good time to do the work. She showed up on time and an hour later the bees were eradicated. She charged the agreed upon price. She was very professional and suggested that I get the patio ceiling to roof edges caulked so that next year the bees would have a place to swarm to. It was good work done by professionals at a reasonable price. I will use them again.

It was usually a good service. The last few times that I used this service I thought it was rather quick and they didn't spend a lot of time. They were professional. I was upset the last time they came because they were so quick and didn't spend a lot of time.

I just bought a house and there was evidence of termites. 1st Choice was by far the most reasonable quote for termite control. They guarantee their work for one year. They came on time, worked around my to labradors, we professional and friendly. I had them spray for general pests and, while they have different rates for monthly, semi-monthly, etc; they never pushed any plan on me.
