Nice local folks, strong management and it works! I have been dealing with an Acrobat Ant issue and Joe came out (right on time) and dealt with them professionally. I cannot believe how many are showing up dead. I had a bigger problem than I realized. Glad I did not try to handle this one on my own. Thanks Joe!

Just moved from Ohio to Blowing Rock area and needed a pest control company reference from my realtor. She recommended A-1 and based on that referral, we contacted A-1. Caleb was the first to visit our new home to inspect and educate us about the pests to be alert for in the NC mountains. We had a lot to learn.Just a few days later, Steve and Jonnie came to apply the first treatment and to install the Sentricon termite control system. Steve and Johnny were very professional and took the time to explain the control program to me. They were careful to avoid contaminating our dog's drinking bowls as well as taking special effort to treat only the areas that were needed.Very impressed with the whole A-1 operation from the field workers to the office support staff. Was not expecting this after my 30 years in Ohio where we did not get this kind of treatment.

Justin and Jeremy installed a Radon Mitigation System in our house. They were friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. They kindly answered all of my questions whether it was radon related or pest related. I was impressed with how they left the work space better than they found it. Great work! I look forward to continuing business with A-1 Pest Control.

The last thing anyone wants is to deal with some sort of infestation, especially home destroying bugs or any bugs that bite. Thankfully that's where A-1 pest control comes in. Not only are they knowledgeable about what they are inspecting, but they're also funny, kind, professional and friendly. I got lucky enough to have Chris and Jordan come by to see about a possible termite problem, thankfully it was nothing but the fact that these two guys came by, talked me through what was going on and the ways to prevent any damage really put my fears at ease. It was more affordable than I imagined. 10/10 highly recommend.

This morning, John Wise performed our quarterly pest inspection. He was very polite, kind, and knowledgeable of what needed to be done. We are so pleased to have him on board; this was this first visit to our property. He had no problem whatsoever with checking the crawlspace area where A-1 had installed the plastic barrier, or my showing him where all the little black boxes were.We wanted you to know what a valuable employee you have in John. We are happy he is here to service our home and hope he continues on this route.McNair and Debi Tornow60 Fox Pointe DriveBanner Elk, NC 28604

Craig at A-1 pest control is fantastic! He is the technician, always willing to stop by to follow up on his work, always on time and great to communicate with. Half of our appointments take twice the time just cause we get to talking and miss the time flying by. James from the main office came out and did my initial inspections, he was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

A-1 Pest Control has been providing our quarterly service for the past year, and it has been a pleasant experience from the beginning. They scheduled our initial service quickly, and once we were established we had the same guy take care of our route each time. He always thoroughly explains what he is doing, and they tailor each quarterly treatment to that seasons expected pests. He always tells us at the end of service that if we see anything at all before the next service to give them a call-he is right around the corner. We ended up having some wasps outside recently, and I sent an email to their office. They followed up within the same day, and had someone out the next morning. This is a very well run company with employees who care. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of pest control!

We've been using A-1 Pest Control for a year now and they've done an outstanding job. I recently had an influx of ants in the house, so I called A-1 since it wasn't time for the quarterly spraying. Hunter arrived as scheduled and sprayed all the rooms. He is very professional and personable and my dogs love him! I would highly recommend A-1 Pest Control.

Brittany C.

The technician who came out was very professional and came right on schedule. I have multiple dogs and we have been having a tough year with fleas. He explained all my options and the different prices and what he could do in a way that was easily understandable. The technician was also very quick to let me know how long it would be before I could let my dogs out so they wouldn't get sick! I am very happy with the service I received and the technicians attitude and knowledge. He actually knew what he was using and what it would do. I will definitely use them again in the future and have already referred them to my family and friends.

A1 has always has high quality people and service. Joe was out yesterday for my quarterly pest spray and borer bee application . He was very professional and through. It is a hard job but he went out of his way to insure it was done expertly. He went out on my second story roof to insure the coverage was complete. A1 is great and Joe is an asset to their team. If you are looking for pest control A1 is your company.

A-1 is a locally family owned business and this is my first time using them! I was very impressed with them. They came out quickly for the inspection and were thorough and informative. Caleb did a good job and explained the treatment process.I was able to get a treatment done in less than a week, which was great because the property was rented and they have a small child.I was very impressed with the service and the price was very reasonable and cheaper than two other estimates I got.Tim came out for the treatment and was very efficient and finished up quickly!I will be a repeat customer for sure! Thanks A-1

A-1 is by far the best pest control company I have worked with! Corey is our service provider, and he is super thorough and always addresses our concerns directly. Corey takes his job very seriously and provides all the different products/services we need to address the multiple pests we are trying to prevent out here in the country. He has helped us deal with hornets, eradicate bugs that followed us from our previous home, and prevent snakes from getting into our shed. All for a lower price than what I was paying before! Would highly recommend Corey and the A-1 team to anyone!

Adam H.

1687269262

Kolten is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to work with your schedule as much as possible. We have seen a tremendous decline in pests, and his service has provided much needed relief. The rates are very competitive and fair, and he doesn't act like a salesman. He arrives and gets the job done and informs you of everything he did, and even after the first visit, the service very effective. I feel so much more comfortable in my home thanks to him. I would highly recommend. It doesn't seem like pest "control" or pest "management", more like pest ELIMINATION!

Jason is not only our tech at our home but also services our business Catawba Box. He is responsive & always willing to follow up on a service if there are any concerns. Appreciate his being punctual when we need to meet him for entrance into our home. His considerate , friendly & reliable service is tops! We have had other pest services but their service & products were disappointing. A-1 is our choice now & Jason is a big reason.
