This review is about the spectacular service I received from One Hour Pest Control in getting rid of a grain beetle problem. My husband and I saw these little fruit fly looking things around our kitchen on and off for a couple weeks. We didn't think anything of it until Sunday night (Oct 22, 2017), when the population seemed to be doubling and tripling seemingly out of no where. Our building exterminator isn't trustworthy, and many times doesn't show up when they are supposed to, so I found One Hour Pest Control on Yelp while trying to investigate alternatives.
Communication
At 10:30pm I texted (you read that right, texted!) their number they list for texting. Frank responded to my text within a minute after I sent it. I sent him a few photos of the bugs and we got on the phone and he told me what they were, gave me a real quote, and said he could send a technician out WITHIN THE HOUR. I was floored. Living in NYC, when you encounter any kind of pest problem, the first thing you think of is, "how long am I going to have to live with this before I can get it taken care of?" So the very speedy response, and the capability to send someone within a hour on a Sunday night after 10:30pm was such a relief. Not to mention, the quote was very reasonable, and Frank isn't a pushy sales guy.
Technician
Ray, my technician, showed up exactly on time at 11:30pm (on a Sunday night!). He was very professional, and did a good job communicating about the source of the issue, what he was going to do, and confirmed the bugs were grain beetles. Ray vacuumed up all the living and dead beetles from our walls, by baseboards, and behind our oven in the kitchen. He also helped us throw away the items in the pantry that the grain beetles were coming from. Then he treated our apartment to make sure the beetles wouldn't come back. His attention to detail was much appreciated.
5 Star Service
What a relief it is to have that problem solved so quickly. No stressing over how many more will multiply before we can get an exterminator to identify and solve the issue. Everything else in my life I would have to make an appointment a week out and stay home from work and wait for someone. I've had Seamless food orders that have taken longer than the amount of time it took to get a technician over to my apartment. I was mentally prepared for my pest problem to become a whole ordeal, and I was able to solve it in one night by just texting Frank. Ray was obviously very knowledgable, experienced, and trustworthy, so talking to him and watching him work, I knew everything would be fine once everything was over. Frankly, I'm still amazed I got such thorough service on a Sunday night in such a short period of time. These guys are saints. read more
