I never thought I'd be writing a review let alone a glowing review of a pest control company but i…read morehave 2 stories if you'll bear with me. If you won't let me first tell you about the inspector in both cases, Ernesto Lopez. To the point he is just simply a nice guy, fair, honest, reliable, and did a complete inspection explaining every aspect of what was needed. As for the 1st inspection of a house I had just purchased Orkin, based on his review saved me around $1500. (the sellers had their own inspection) Baecause of that I asked him to inspect a house i was selling whereby a different company estimated a cost of $26000. Orkins cost was around $11000. , $3500 of which was woodwork. Here's the thing, Ernesto said if we did the work he would come back and inspect it and if completed to his satisfaction would submit a clearance to show the work had been done. And that's exactly what he did. That house is now under contract. I know people have different experiences and knowing you have to pay to kill the little critters infecting you home is not the most pleasant thing to do ,but if you have to, it at least takes a little bit of the sting out when you can rely on the honest and fair services and their employees, especially if you have one like Ernesto.

I spoke with him a few times before deciding to tent instead of spot treat the infected areas. The team is not pushy but instead very informative and helpful. Amanda was also great in coordinating all the work. Also, our inspector, Alfredo, was very knowledgeable and worked with us on what we wanted to completely repair what could be spot fix. The team understood our budget and worked within it and they were all very personable. I would highly recommend this company.

I had tried multiple ways to get rid of them and it wasn't working. I don't like the thought of dried materials right next to electricity.

Instead, they wanted to charge us $75 to spray--even after just completing the fumigation. Brandi mentioned she would check with the owner about waiving the fee, but we NEVER received a call back. My husband could easily spray for ants himself, but it's about the principle. After spending that much money, we expected better follow-through and basic customer service.

He's professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough in his work. Derek takes the time to explain issues clearly, offers honest recommendations, and makes sure everything is handled with care. His attention to detail and friendly attitude really set him apart. It's rare to find someone who genuinely takes pride in their work, but Derek absolutely does. Because of him, I feel confident and well taken care of as a customer. Highly recommend A-1 Pest Management, especially Derek!

These guys are great. Jonathan came out to assess a problem I had with a possible dead animal under…read morethe house as my tenants were smelling a foul odor. He was quickly able to determine that the smell was not coming in from under the house and that it was coming from behind a wall or a cabinet. I really appreciate that he informed me that if it's a mouse it'll stop smelling in one or two weeks or if it's a rat it will completely stop smelling within three or four weeks. This really helped the situation for me because I now know the odor will dissipate and there's no other action I need to take because it doesn't make sense for me to start ripping holes in my walls to try to find where it is when it's going to stop stinking potentially before I would finish doing all of that expensive work to my walls! Although, I didn't end up needing to actually hire them to extract a dead animal, I sure do appreciate how quickly Jonathan got over to assess the situation and his call to explain everything to me. If I end up having some sort of pest infestation there's no doubt that I will be calling A - 1 pest management right away and recommend you do the same. Thanks guys.

He took the time to find my same paint color and you honestly can't even see it he did a great job! A few places offered service but Noe was the best price and very easy to work with. He finished the job ASAP before I was going on vacation. Now I don't have to worry about a thing. Great job!

I'm writing this review specifically for our exterminator Greg. I am a college student and I live…read morein a house close to campus with three other girls. Upon finding droppings and chewed up towels, we thought we had mice, so we called Western. Greg came to our house and discovered that we actually had rats. You can imagine how frustrating it can be to work with four girls freaking out when hearing this, but Greg worked with us really well. I really appreciated how he explained exactly where he thought the rat was coming from and where it was going. It gave me peace of mind having an explanation. Greg set up traps around our house and gave us his cell phone number and said we could call him when we saw a trapped rat and he would come get it (during working hours). While we were waiting for rats to be trapped, Greg also called me and said, "I've been thinking about your house and I'm pretty sure the rat is entering through the bedroom." It meant a lot that Greg was thinking about how to best help us. Greg also responded quickly and returned calls promptly, which I appreciated because I felt he understood how we wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible. Probably some of the best customer service I have received from anywhere- Greg helped ease the stress of having rats in the house by A LOT! tl;dr: If you have a pest problem, call Greg! He's the best!!! :)

Woods came out and inspected around for possible entry points and didn't find any obvious signs of infestation. They suggested the bat had flown into the room and roosted somewhere inside the house (!) during the day. So that night we left our bedroom windows opened, door closed and slept in another br. Sure enough, no more bat since then. It must've found its way out. Although they didn't actually remove a bat, they made the effort to come out and investigate. Much appreciated!
