I really had a problem because there were roaches everywhere in my house. They did a good job of exterminating roaches. They were polite, friendly, and businesslike. They were here on the day and time that I had scheduled them. Overall, I have had a positive experience with them. Their price was really worth the work that they did, and I would recommend them.

21st Century Pest Elimination did a good job in spraying for roaches. As of yet I don't have a roach problem anymore. They did such a fine job that I will use them again when I need to.

The contact on the phone for 21st Century was extremely thorough in terms of getting all of the information she needed to generate the estimate and got back to me within a few hours. The contact gave me a full run down of what was included and also a description of the type of chemicals they used to address concerns of residents who had young babies and/respiratory problems. The price included a 60 day guarantee. they would return for free within 60 days if the problem recurred. Since we had had quite a few mice sightings prior to that, we felt that the guarantee would make it worthwhile even though other quotes came in cheaper. A team of 3 arrived on time and spent 3.5 hours in our building going through every apartment and the basement. My neighbors all commented on how thorough and knowledgeable they were. We haven't had any recurrence since but even so 21st Century phoned a couple of weeks later to check in. I would definitely recommend them.

He is the most knowledgeable and sweet guy. He is painstakingly thorough and takes his time. He informs you as he goes along. Him and his assistant are lovely guys. He gives warranties on his work and completely follows through on them - he was out here at least 3 times to make sure that the mouse issue was solved. He blew away the competition!
