My grandmother recently had a termite infestation in her attic, which was followed by extreme panic! Larry was fast to pick up the phone and answer all my questions and concerns. I wanted to tackle this situation fast as well considering my grandmother's age. Rob was dispatched the very next day! He explained in detail how and where these bugs were coming from. Their prompt and professional service is worth every penny! Quality does cost, so i didn't mind paying for their premium service. Thanks again Larry and Rob!! read more

When the technician set up the time, I had to change it slightly and they were very accommodating. The technician arrived during the designated time and performed the service quickly and efficiently. He was ready with all the equipment and sprays he would need. He inspected the area and determined that the beehive was already partially destroyed. He finished the job and lowered the cost because there was less work than he thought. He said he would make a follow-up visit if the bees did not go away. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable, and this was a great experience. We would use this company again. read more

As someone relatively new to NYC, I had never before lived in a place where I had to get pest control services. I was stressed out about the increasing roach activity at my place but was skeptical about effectiveness of hiring an exterminator. Given the price of Top Notch Pest Control, I had high expectations. Robert, the technician, came out to my place twice, once for the initial treatment and again for a follow-up. After the follow-up, the activity had gone down so much, more than I expected. Additionally, Robert provided great tips for prevention, was pleasant to talk with, and made a stressful situation much easier to go through. While I don't have other pest control services to compare with Top Notch, they do seem to do quality work, if all of their technicians are like Robert. Thank you! read more

They need to reply in a more timely manner to customers. The last communication was almost a week ago to respond.

My second floor tenant had a roach treatment about 1 year ago. Recently the tenant thought she need another treatment. A technician came to apply a first treatment about one month ago to second and third floor apartments. Last week a technician came to do a second (free) treatment for the two apartments if it was needed within 30 days. The technician sprayed inside the kitchen cabinets, around the cabinets and different places near there were water sources. The second floor tenant had two young daughters with her and she probably didn't pay much attention where he was spraying. The technician asked both my sister and the second floor tenant where else they wanted him to spray. Maybe the technician should have told the second floor tenant where he did spray before asking where she wanted him to spray. Both my sister and the second floor tenant thought about 10 minutes to complete each apartment was rather quick. My sister substituted for the third floor tenant who had an early morning appointment and believed that she would not be able to return in time for the technician scheduled arrive. read more

I love that you are able to communicate and request a quote via Yelp. Read the reviews, saw it was also close to my home, so I decided to try their services. They were able to come to my home the same week and come earlier than expected. I am happy the service man was patient with me because I was busy and talking really fast. However, he understood and got right to work. So far, I am happy with the services with no issues at the time of my writing this review. Also, the price seemed reasonable for the service provided, and they also allow 30 days if the issue to continue to contact them to return and re-address the issue. I am very happy. I hope I don't have to contact them again but I do recommend. read more

Service was done with care and on time. I have never seen an insect. Their products are very effective and safe around humans and pets

Amel is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He is the consummate professional -- I would highly recommend to ask for him personally.

Top Notch provides top notch service! Larry and team were very responsive with setting us up for service. Our technician, Rob, is very attentive and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with him to resolve our rodent problem. read more

We have used Top Notch twice and been extremely pleased with their professionalism, reliability and cost. We called them last minute to hopefully get someone in the same week, they got someone in SAME DAY. If they can accommodate you, they absolutely will. Both reps that came into our home took care of business quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend! read more

The guys are up to date with pest control (mosquito), provide excellent service and care. Even if reschedule due to weather, they never let you wait for too long and give heads up. Valuable service read more

I was facing an urgent situation and needed immediate support, but unfortunately, my building wasn't able to assist. As soon as I spoke with Sarah on the phone, I felt an immediate sense of relief knowing the team would arrive within the hour. When they got here, Akel patiently listened to all the details I shared and reassured me that he could handle the issue. He was incredibly kind, professional, and even brought a welcome sense of humor to the interaction. I highly recommend--they truly are top notch people and service for dealing with what can be stressful and uncomfortable read more

Austin came by and was incredibly knowledgeable. Explained everything and even saved me some money by suggesting we don't do some unnecessary work. Honest and professional. Will 100% be using them again. read more

Service was great. Our roach problem is gone! The Top Notch team is very knowledgable and their staff was hyper responsive. Akel was on time and was happy to answer all of our questions and did a great job explaining everything that he was doing. Thank you! read more

Great value. We had to make some changes to the schedule and they were accommodating. The fleas were a nightmare but I am finally not covered in bites and healing. Akel was great with the followup service. read more

No response after a phone call and two emails sent. Perhaps my project is too small and if it is, it would be nice to get some sort of feedback on how to fix the issue myself. read more

Akel did an incredible job! He throughly went around the apartment and took care of any place that mice could/would be getting in... he was knowledgeable and informative. I wouldn't use any other company than Top Notch!! read more

Today July 5th 2023. Already 7 annual visits from Top Notch with one of their technicians Mario. Well, I've left other reviews. However I must say the company name says it all. It is indeed TOP NOTCH. no doubt. My technician Mario is an absolute on all levels. Kind. Curteis honest. Respectful polite thoughtful and obliging. Thank you Top Notch for a service par excellence. read more

Great work. First treatment was Austin, he was very professional and got right on the bees and they just started to die. 2nd appt was review to make sure they stayed away. David was also wonderful. Thank you very much. read more

Great work! I have not seen roaches for months in the areas served around our home. The follow-up service was great, and I really appreciated the depth of details provided by the techs. read more

Best pest control company I've ever worked with. Extremely thorough, friendly, professional, and efficient. Can't ask for more!

As I read the reviews on yelp, their response to move a dead rat from my property was very quick. First point of phone contact, Chris, is very bright, cheerful and helpful. She reassured me that someone would come in s short time frame and call before they arrived. Andrew, called and said he was on the way. He removed the dead rat efficiently. Note: Make sure they properly dispose of or take with them to dispose anything dead they remove. A little pricey at $125 plus tax but i was extremely relieved that i didnt have to do it. read more

absolutely a waste of time and worse yet, a waste of money. Called for bed bugs: 4 times he came back and said he took care of it, 4 times they were still there. he used a chemical that is meant to kill termites and to be used only outside. Do not use this guy. read more

I have used Top Notch several times within the last 2 years. Making an appointment is very easy and they always confirm when they are their way. They are professional and give the best advice. AKEL has come twice to get rid of our basement roaches. So far coast is clear! I recommend Top Notch 120% !! read more

Austin was really helpful in answering all of my questions. He didn't rush out until we were both satisfied that the job was done correctly and thoroughly. This was a follow-up visit, about three weeks after the initial pesticide application, and I haven't seen a live roach in at least two weeks. (I've seen several dead ones!) So glad I used this exterminator's service for my worsening bug problem. It's really nice not to have to wash every dish again before I use it! read more

Larry, Angel and Austin did a great job on my building. Larry was very responsive and on top of scheduling. Angel from Dirty Work did a very thorough job of cleaning out a basement full of junk and all sorts of gross things that had been ignored for a long time. Both he and Austin, the tech that came afterward took the time to explain what they were doing, with clear recommendations on what steps to take to prevent pests from coming back. read more

We used Top Knotch Pest Control services from February - June 2024 and were fortunate enough to work with Akel B. Akel was professional, timely, and highly considerate of our home and needs. He was friendly, soft-spoken, and reliable. I felt confident that our needs were in good hands. Top Knotch coordinated with us each week to ensure scheduled appointments were convenient for us and communicated any changes in schedule in a timely manner. Ultimately, Top Knotch Pest Control successfully addressed our issues. We would certainly use them again in the future and highly recommend requesting Akel B. for your services - he was lovely to collaborate with and an effective pest technician. read more

David was great- explained everything to us and made us feel secure. Highly recommend!

My elderly father had a bedbug problem in his apartment and I hired Top Notch to do a treatment. They sprayed two times, two weeks apart, as is customary. After the first treatment, my father still got bedbug bites and saw live bugs, but had hoped that the second treatment would solve the problem. Unfortunately, about three weeks after the second treatment, my father woke up to more bites. We were still under the 60-day warranty period, so the company sent out the tech two days later and sprayed a third time. My father is 87 years old and each treatment required extensive preparation and clear up, and was very trying and difficult for him, even with help, not to mention the discomfort of continuing to be bitten. We followed the prep requirements as closely as possible, clearing out all drawers and closets, washing/drying all clothing, linens, towels, and anything fabric in hot, vacuuming all carpets/floors, moving furniture away from the walls, encasing the mattresses in covers, etc. Still, less than two weeks after the third treatment, my father woke to more bites and we discovered more bedbugs. At that point, we lost faith in the company's treatment. It did not seem to kill either the bugs and/or their eggs well enough to eradicate the problem. We finally decided to replace the mattresses and boxsprings, which was a major expense. We had hoped to avoid doing this by hiring and paying for professional extermination services, which turned out for us to be a wasted of money. I left a message for Larry, the owner, and he called me back. He told me that they had started with a "green" product and maybe it's time to use something stronger. I asked why he had not informed me that they were using a green product and not the strongest product available even after the second treatment, but he said that was their standard procedure. If Top Notch uses green products that's fine, but say so up front so customers can decide for themselves what products they want used. Larry said he used the green products especially for my elderly father, but that's a choice WE should make, not him. His attitude when I spoke to him was lackadaisical, telling me it was a process, but who wants to slowly, gradually kill bedbugs over weeks and weeks, having to spray multiple times?? My father was suffering and feeling helpless and I had to hear how upset he was each morning when he woke with more bites. Larry offered to come out and spray a fourth time with a different chemical, but my father had had enough. He didn't want to go through the ordeal again and I didn't blame him. Had I known that Top Notch was using a mild product to begin with, I would have requested the strongest treatment available from the start but surely after the second treatment OR have hired a different company willing to do so. By not giving me this information or option, my father suffered through many more weeks of bites and stress than he should have. I don't like writing negative reviews of small businesses, but I'm hoping this saves some other family from making a costly, frustrating, and ultimately ineffective choice. We wasted hundreds of dollars. read more

Fast response and friendly service with good internal communication. Akel arrived fully appraised of the situation. He was knowledgeable and thorough. read more

Expensive and their treatments are ridiculously overpriced. Technicians don't do any work to solve the problem. they try to leave early. My new exterminator spent 9 hours throughly checking for any entry point, and using copper mesh, cement, drilling, and foam in some places to treat rodent infestation. The Andrew technician at top notch doesnt know what he is doing. discourage because of price and you'll get people that work 10x harder than top notch at other places with a fraction of their price with permanent seal read more

We've used these guys for a few years to take care of water bugs in the basement and then again for ants. They are the best around. I highly recommend them! Every technician we've had has been knowledgeable and thorough. The office is efficient and friendly. read more

I called and spoke to the owner regarding rats in my walls. I had used several exterminators prior and had no positive results. I asked several questions regarding alternatives to bait boxes and powder which didn't seem to work. This person didn't like my questions or my tone and refused to even come see my problem. I appealed to him that I had a serious problem, but he explained that due to his previous experiences he felt we wouldn't be a good match. read more
