Brian was very nice, knowledgable and answered all my questions. He was on time and after a brief explanation of what he was going to do it was over in less than an hour. He was very thorough, especially in the areas where we had ants. My only concern was that my young kids would walk on the interior spray, which took about 30 minutes to dry. We ended up leaving the house to make sure that wouldn't happen. Overall, we are very pleased with their services. The ants have not returned, so it was well worth the money.
Description of Work: We had ants and needed professional help. They sprayed the entire inside of the house for ants. He also sprayed the entire outside of the house for ants as well as wasps/bees. It took about 45 minutes for the application of both areas.

Overall the experience was good. They came on time & performed the work right away. He told me before he sprayed that it would drip all over my windows & it did. At least I was forewarned. I haven't had any problems with insects since.
Description of Work: Sprayed inside the house for anything in the insect world that crawls: sprayed outside the house around the foundation.

Returned my message promptly; very informative on the phone; told me what I should do and what I didn't need to have done. Brian (service technician) was very prompt; very friendly and knowledgable. He told me exactly what he needed to do and how he would do it; what effect it would have and when. He gave me two mouse bait boxes at no extra charge after finding droppings. He even educated me on the science and life of bees! (Who knew that they can't see?) Urged me to call anytime for free extra service within the 30-day period (for ants) or 90-day period (for flying insects). Would DEFINITELY use them again!
Description of Work: Small ants inside house; bumblebees and wasps swarming outside house.

The woman was great. She saved me a service call once she identified the bug, because you can't spray for these bugs except in fall. She told me what to do in the interim.
Description of Work: I called regarding bug infestation which woman on the phone identified as elder bug overwintering.

I discovered a rabbit living under my deck and was concerned that it and its offspring would eat my garden. Because of the high recommendations on the list I called A-1 pest control. The person on the phone was extremely helpful. First, rabbits are protected and hence no company can exterminate them. However, I was given very helpful advice, namely to start a fence in a trench 2 feet deep around any place I don't want the rabbits. There were also suggestions about urine repellents. Even though they would not be doing business with me, they were extremely helpful.
Description of Work: No work could be done because rabbits are legally protected.

WE WERE OVERRUN BY SMALL ANTS. WE CALLED A-1. THEY CAME WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD COME, AND APPLIED PESTICIDE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. THE ANTS DISAPPEARED. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, THE ANTS RETURNED. WE CALLED A-1 AGAIN. THEY CAME AND LEFT BAIT FOR THE ANTS INSIDE OUR KITCHEN. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, THE ANTS WERE GONE. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANTS SINCE.

WE MOVED INTO A HOUSE THAT HAD A LOT OF BUGS. A-1 WAS VERY RESPONSIVE IN COMING OUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND WAS VERY THOROUGH IN GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOUSE (INSIDE AND OUT). WE DID STILL SEE A LOT OF BUGS 1 MONTH LATER AND THEY CAME OUT AGAIN FOR FREE (INCLUDED IN QUARTERLY SERVICE). ALTHOUGH WE STILL SEE ANTS, IT IS A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT. OVER TIME AND WITH THE QUARTERLY SERVICE, THEY SHOULD BE GONE.
