I left NYC during the beginning of covid and when I returned 3 months later I had a full blown roach infestation. My building has an exterminator come once a month but whatever he sprayed didn't help. I tried bombs and foggers, all type of traps but they weren't dying. They were multiplying! I called 1A on a Monday and I believe they came out either the Tuesday or Wednesday. He put poison everywhere and promised that I would see roaches everywhere the next day but they would look drunk and then I would never see them again and he didn't lie! The day after the extermination visit there were wobbling or dead roaches everywhere. I cleaned them up and as promised I haven't seen a roach since. This was in November! Frank has followed up several times since and was the sweetest guest in my home. He even swept from behind my refrigerator and stove because I was too scared to. If I could give these guys 10 stars I would! Prices were super affordable, the customer service is phenomenal and he was in and out my home in about an hour and a half. If you've dealt with roaches before you know how tricky it can be to keep them GONE. These guys are pro's!! read more

Frank took care of a rat problem professionally and efficiently. He made a problem that felt overwhelming to a new homeowner feel so easy to solve. Will definitely be using A1 Pest Control for any issues in the future. I highly recommend this company to anyone! read more

Frank jr was amazing! He was responsive and easy to schedule right from the start. He was quick providing our service and did a great job communicating through the whole process which was especially important to me because I have dogs. We are two weeks since the treatment and so far seeing good results! The wonderful service and reasonable price made for such a value. We will be calling them up again! read more

Frank was amazing. He sent me a text as soon as I submitted the project request on Yelp and was at my house the next day to inspect then spray (spiders). He is one of the nicest people I have ever met and reassured me that everything he was spraying was safe for our dogs and children. He also pointed out a potential mouse issue and resolved that for me as well. He did his initial spray and is coming back in two weeks to make sure it worked. Truly so happy with his service and would recommend him to anyone. read more

Frank came on time, sprayed the entire area around or home for carpenter bees. It's a week now, and not one has come around. What a great relief not to worry about being stung and we're now able to enjoy sitting outside again, all thanks to 1A! read more

Fantastic! Came by to deal with mouse issue and we're incredibly thorough, way better priced vs competition and very pleasant and nice to have around the house. Would absolutely recommend read more

Great service great people and a great help Prompt response and quick assistance I couldn't be happier with their service read more

I recently moved into a renovated studio and soon after saw a couple of baby roaches and was worried that there may be a nest behind my cabinets. I reached out to 1A who immediately responded and scheduled a visit the following morning.  Frank Sr. came over and checked out the place.  He's super knowledgeable, professional and thorough.  He informed me of trouble spots to watch out for.  He applied gel bait and assured me that my roach issues would be no more. I highly recommend 1A Pest Control.  They are professional and I'm extremely appreciative how they went above and beyond. read more

Frank Sr. took care of our problem. He came when he said he would and got rid of the wasps! The cost was more than others, however, he was available the afternoon that I contacted him and that was worth the money to me! read more

I had a mice issue - we found droppings all over the shelves, and have even trapped 3 on our own. It was time to call in the experts. I got a call back from Frank at 1A Pest Control within a couple of hours, and he was able to come the same day to set up traps, sealed up entryways, and put bait out so they don't re-enter our home. I've definitely noticed less activity since then, but every now and then, there might still be some clicking inside kitchen cabinets. I am waiting for the bait to do their job and see what happens. Frank was courteous, super professional and knew exactly what to look for, where to go, and sealed up everything. The ONLY reason I knocked off a star was because he kind of left my house in a mess. He moved furniture out of the way to lay down the traps & bait, but he didn't move things back to how he found it. He's an exterminator, not a furniture mover, I get it. ;) Overall, I would still highly recommend 1A Pest Control and their services if you have a rodent problem, and I will continue to count on them to help me get rid of pests. In fact, I plan on calling him to help spray mosquitoes in the spring and rid some other pests read more

We moved into a house that really was only being used on the first floor. We suspected we might have critters in the basement and/or second floor. After doing some research, we decided to use A1. Frank was affordable and very responsive. He walked us through the house and provided so much information. He came back the week of thanksgiving to check on the traps outside and refill them as part of his service. Highly recommend! read more

This Father & son team are reliable responsive and professional. They say what they mean, they show up when they say and we could not be happier with their service. read more

The gentlemen at 1A Pest Control were a pleasure to deal with. Their communication was excellent. My first phone call was answered and from that point on we stayed in contact through texts and calls over my two weeks of service. With a husky and a long-haired cat, we developed a flea problem in our home. 1A Pest Control came to review the problem immediately, and they setup the first treatment for the following day. We noticed significant improvement right away. Fleas require two separate treatments two weeks apart, and 1A was right on time with the second one. Since the second treatment, we haven't found a single flea, so we're very happy with the outcome. 1A is very professional, responsive, and fair. I've saved their phone number in case of future pest problems, and I would recommend them to anyone in the area. read more

They are the only people I call when I have an issue. This father and son duo are both respectful, trustworthy, and get the job done. They now service my entire HOA complex. read more

Called for bees in my wall, he didn't see any or evidence of bees. He treated something he didn't see evidence of and charged me hundreds of dollars. He could have been honest and charged a small fee for coming instead. read more

I write reviews all of the time, but my husband never does. My husband asked me to go on and write a review for Frank for 1A, because he came out when he said he would, he was honest, reliable, and his price was fair. We noticed that we had critters in our house. OMG...ummmm...NO! Frank came out exactly when he said he would...like...to the minute, he put pet-free traps out, and he was honest. We were very satisfied, and the most impressive thing to us is that Frank kept giving us advice to keep him from coming back. LOL! Great guy! In a world where you don't get a lot of honest business people, Frank stands out. Thank you Frank and 1A pest control! read more

We bought a house recently in white plains and we found some critters before moving in. These guys were super responsive stopped by and hatched a plan. Father and son team that are very knowledgable and more than that friendly and trustworthy. I wish my other vendors that we hired ran their business the way 1A runs theirs. read more

Excellent work, very responsive, friendly. Frank took care of a pretty fierce yellow jackets' nest quite easily. After he was done, he even showed my young, curious children some of the remains of the nest so that they could see what it looked like! This is the guy to call. read more

After dealing with ORKIN and another pest company, I called 1A Pest Control and Frank and his team delivered fast and highly effective service. Frank was reassuring and knows what he is talking about. His years of experience speaks for itself and I will certainly be using this business for all of my pest control needs. I thank God for people like Frank and his team who are honest, fair, knowledgeable, and attentive to his customers concerns. read more

Frank is so helpful, honest, respectful, and reasonably priced. He came back on more than one occasion to make sure the coast was clear after his job was done. I appreciate his business and now if anything other issues occur he will be our go to for our HOA. Thanks Frank -Jasmine read more

From the very beginning Frank was polite, professional and courteous. He was on time and charged a reasonable sum. He said what things would cost in advance and kept to it. He was informed and gave me good advice. He was also very efficient and followed up. I'm very happy I chose his company. On another note, you can tell Frank is a hard working decent guy and I wish him all the best. read more

I had yellow jackets that had made a nest in the side of my house and a hornets nest the size of a football lying low on a tree.. With the insects flying all around the perimeter of my house, I was worried about the safety of my family and neighbors. Frank came the next day and offered his excellent services at a very reasonable price. He took care of the problems and did it with courtesy and professionalism. He is the only person to call as far as I am concerned for any pest problems in the future. read more

Frank and 1A Pest Control are great. I'd highly recommend. Frank came out the same day I called just before Thanksgiving after we started hearing mice in our walls. Long story short, he did a thorough job going through the property and attic and setting up an anti pest system. Now we don't hear any sounds in the walls. Great service from a great company. read more

Do your research. Do not fall for scams. I called 1A pest control with a field mice situation in a 750 sq area. A very charismatic gentleman named Frank responded advising me he would be arrive to review the area and provide a quote. He arrived the next day 40 minutes late. Enthusiastically he said he was sent by God to resolve the issue. 2 hours later at the rate of $175 per hour fee for what I was later advised by a reputable exterminator company that A1 had only used a $5 bag of steel wool , $3 worth of 4 of mice traps and 4 mice poison or mice "cotton candy " as Frank called it. Frank advised me I had to quick pay him the $350.00 charge and no receipt was provided. When I called to request a receipt and advised Frank the situation did not improve at all, I was told "oh I ll stop by again and then I ll provide you with a receipt for my services". Not only did that never happen , there was also no follow up whatsoever. I called another exterminator company that was extremely efficient with completely different standard of service that was not only much more detailed and charged me less than $350 fee and also provided a detailed receipt for services. Do your research and call different companies make sure that you are working with actual professionals in extermination services. read more

This was my first time dealing with a mouse problem, living alone in NYC, I was terrified! I requested quotes and 1A Pest Control quickly responded. I explained my situation over the phone and they explained how they could help me and we scheduled the appointment despite having no reviews I decided to give it a chance. Frank was punctual and very knowledgeable about this issue. He went over all the possible entrances for the mice and covered them and left some traps. So far it has been very effective and he was very reassuring that the problem would be solved. read more

Great team, super attentive. Heads up, there is two Franks (Dad and the owner is Jr). Both are very helpful and followed up days later

They were very responsive and so far, they took care of the spider cricket problem I had in my basement

Over the past two months I realized I had a new mouse problem. At first I thought I had one or two and quickly realized a whole lot of them decided to move in. I've never had this issue before and wasn't sure what to do. I called Frank on Monday he was in my house on Wednesday. He looked throughout my entire home and quickly realized what the issue was. I had some holes in the wall where the radiator pipes ran through. He sealed each and everyone of them and also left some poison out. It's been one week since he left my house and i haven't seen or heard a single mouse anywhere. He literally fixed the problem in one quick visit. He was extremely polite and professional. Awesome guy to talk to while he's doing his work. If you need someone to come handle a pest problem call Frank. I honestly did not think one visit would fix the issue and it did. read more

Frank was awesome!!!! He came to the house the very next day when we couldn't even get a call back from other companies. He helped us to get rid of our carpenter bee issue (which was getting quite serious) after 1 day!! It's been a few days, and we haven't seen a single bee where there were previously several! He was terrific, and his services are very affordable and fair!! He even offered to stop by every few months to help with any pest-related concerns - would DEFINITELY recommend!! read more

I never am one to post but I called 1A pest control about a wasp next in my kids swing set and they came within an hour and were so professional and nice! I will 100 percent use them again! read more

great response time. came out the next day and handled the problem. and no issues since

I had a great experience with Frank at 1A Pest Control. I had a mice problem in my house and Frank really went above and beyond to eradicate the existing problem and, most importantly, PREVENT them from coming back. Frank surveyed the entire perimeter of the house, showed me a couple holes they burrowed on the lawn, and quickly identified two potential trouble spots (the dryer vent) and the third floor AC pipe where he thought they might be getting into the house. Then Frank got up in the third floor crawl space and confirmed that yes, that's indeed where the mice were coming in. Frank also replaced the bait in my existing mousetraps (the previous exterminator had placed cheap bait that was not doing anything to attract the mice) and temporarily blocked an entry path on the outside of the house (I then had my handyman patch it up permanently). I was ready to write off exterminators as a waste of money. The last guy I had did very little to solve the root cause of the problem and seemed much more interested in getting on a schedule where he came back every three months (at considerable expense to me). Frank may have charged a touch more for his services, but he identified the root cause of the problem, and the mice problem has quickly gone away. HIGHLY recommended. read more

I would give Frank and 1A Pest Control the highest possible recommendation. Frank is extremely thorough, professional, most effective, volunteered a follow up visit free of charge, and even found a wonderful handyman /contractor to come next morning to take care of structural holes in our garage since my handyman was out of town and it was urgent we get a contractor ASAP. I am not quick to leave reviews which is why I waited for a month before leaving this review (I wanted first to see the problem resolving which it did big time). If interested in all the details, this is how it all happened: We have 2 cats and we never saw any mice inside the house , so we were surprised when heard scratching noises from the attic. I hired Frank based on the positive Yelp reviews. Frank arrived on time wearing masks and gloves. He quickly identified all the entry points: the garage door and garage walls had several small holes which the mice used to enter. From the garage they travelled into the interior of the walls and into the attic. There was another entry point under the sink and a couple more around the house. We never saw mice ourselves because our cats probably scared them but they infested the walls and attic instead. Frank first said we need to seal all the holes. He sealed himself the small holes using copper wiring but I needed to hire a contractor to seal the holes in my garage. My handyman was out of town so I asked Frank if he has anyone he could recommend. He didn't just recommend people but took it upon himself to make sure they can come next day. He called two people who were too busy but after spending half an hour on the phone he found a high quality person who came the next morning. This person turned out to be amazing and I ended up hiring him for several days to take care of a bunch of things we needed to fix. Frank put baits around the house (high weight-high quality baits for exterior use.) Then he put baits inside the house that are pet-safe (our cats had no issues with them... it has been about 5 weeks since). He also crawled into our infested attic and put poison there. The baits that he uses dry out the mice and are high quality so had no issues with anything smelling. I keep my house very clean and I haven't experienced anything negative with them 5 weeks now later. At the same time our mice problem has been resolved! Frank volunteered to come for a visit today to check on the baits and yes indeed we are doing great! No signs of mice inside our house which is such a relief. The mice only ate the poison outside. When I asked how much to pay him for the follow up visit he didn't take any payment.... what a true gem of a gentleman. I used to analyze companies for a living and Frank's company has all the prerequisites for excellence. Wishing Frank all the luck in the world. He is so kind, professional and hard working. A true class act. read more
