Shaia was outstanding . He went out of his way to explain each process to me. He was very clear. He also went the extra mile to pick up some things that were on the floor. And was very personable and obviously knowledgeable. I will use them again and hopefully him. I would give him five stars.

We have been using 1st Choice for a while now. They took care of our moisture problems under the house, spray yearly to eliminate our carpenter bee problems and do general exterminator service. George and his team are a very professional, trustworthy, and friendly group. Reasonable prices. I would highly recommend.
