By far the best pest control team in VA! I switched to 1st choice after my two year contract ran out with a different, big chain pest service where I felt like my business and problems didn’t matter. We have been so happy with 1st choice because their customer service, hard work, and affordability can’t be matched…

1st Choice did an outstanding job treating my home for typical insects (ants, spiders, etc.). When we saw a few ants in our bathroom shower, they returned, inspected and retreated. They then did a 2 week follow up. Kameron was the Technician who is a very respectful, conscientious and friendly young man. I enjoyed…

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.
