We used A1 exterminators for several years. In the beginning we used them to change the dehumidifier filters. We started using them because the previous owners had used them to redo the crawl space and install a the humidifier. At some point we also started using them for pest control. We did their Guardian Plan from beginning. The guys they sent over were nice and courteous and always helpful. We were pleased with service until we were selling our home and records of services provided were requested and they refused to give them. We were needing information on if they had caulked some cracks in the foundation when they sealed everything when the dehumidifier was installed. I even had the previous owner call and give them permission to release this information. They accused me of trying to get information out of them that didn't belong to me. Funny thing is, there were absolutely no issues, but they were immediately defensive and accusing me of being in a bad place with our buyers. She talked over me to the point and was so rude, I told her to shut up. That was the end of anything I ever wanted to do with them. Had the owner of this company not been the rudest person I have ever dealt with in my life, I may have left them a good rating. Based on how she treats a customer of 4 or 5 years, I could never recommend them to anyone. Read their reviews yourself. Their bad customer service speaks for itself. When I mentioned this company to the buyers real estate agent, he confirmed that they weren't reputable as did the escrow company that did our closing.

As always, we appreciate the member taking the time to leave a review and we also appreciate the very frustrating process of selling a home but regretfully, we were unable to give her another customer's records and that is not what she wanted to hear. She was very distraught, excited and argumentative. I tried to ask her if there was something specific she was looking for but after several minutes she would only tell me it had something to do with cracks in the foundation. But then she said there was no issue with cracks in the foundation. It was puzzling at best. After she hung up on me, her husband called back to say that she was just getting overwhelmed with the process. We had the previous owners of this home as customers with our last visit being six years ago. We did not perform the inspection required for that closing and so our last records with the previous owner amounted to simple general services. When this member called us in 2018, she requested information involving possible structural work being done to the home. We had not yet performed an inspection for her closing and so we weren't sure what type of information she was after. That wasn't the issue as far as we were concerned. We will NOT release property or service information to anyone other than the property owner. Period. Moreover, most work done 6 years prior would have no bearing on work needed today. What this member was asking for was outside of the scope of a standard Wood Destroying Insect and Moisture Inspection and Report but again, we had not performed the inspection for this member's purchase and had not yet performed the inspection for this next purchase. We simply had no information to give her. We suspect that this member's buyers had a home inspection that noted issues of interest or concern and she was trying to eliminate these problems for the new sale. This is very common and we understand as much as anyone could. But we cannot provide information related to the condition of a property for the purposes of its sale outside of the four corners of the standard Wood Destroying Insect & Moisture Reports. These are legal representations that a buyer will rely on when completing the purchase of a home and we take that responsibility very seriously. It is not necessary to defend our reputation here. Our records with all verifiable, reliable sources speak for themselves.04/17/2018

We have used A-1 since we purchased our home and they have done the yearly inspections. Any noticeable termite activity was always promptly take care of. We recently had them redo the whole house exterior treatment when more termite activity was noticed. The tech that came out to do the inspection and treatment seemed very knowledgeable and was very thorough. Overall we are very happy with the work provided.

Everything I have hired A-1 to do has been done with care and professionalism.

I have had A-1 Exterminators do regular termite checks on my house. Last spring I was beginning to see some large roaches during the wet weather, so I called. They suggested an under and around treatment, which did the trick. When I decided to replace the 50-year-old foundation vents, I went to them as I had found them to be a honest, reliable, and professional company.

The technician was prompt, polite and thorough. The company also followed up with a phone call, and I chose to purchase their annual inspection and warranty package. I was and am very pleased with their service.

They were really good. They did a really good job. I was really happy with them. I even had him do some other stuff and he did it. It was a really hard job. He was under there and there were all kinds of stuff. I didn’t have critters or anything, but people who had lived in my house before had put a toilet in there. I paid him to remove that and he did. He did a really good job and now it’s all clean. Tell the one that did that, that it was actually such a good job. It was excellent, "A+" work. He just really helped me so good, he was so good.

It went pretty well. Originally they gave us a bad estimate, and then increased the price. They were fair, and worked with us when the mistake was made to give us what we needed at a very fair price.
