Kolten and A1 pest control have made our concerns about bugs on our property or in our house a complete non-issue. Having a home built in the 1960s, there is always concern of bugs manifesting during winter months. Not once in 2 years have we founds any insects in our home during the winter, and it is thanks to the thorough and diligent work by Kolten to take care of our home as his own.

Bronson does a phenomenal job - especially treating our log home for carpenter bees. In previous years, we've had to have them come back (which they always do free of charge) but not since Bronson has been our tech. I highly recommend both A-1 and their quarterly service program. We rarely have bugs in the house now unless a door is left open and no mice whatsoever!

Hunter Sigmon is our pest control technician. He is very professional and courteous. The job he preforms is always above and beyond.A-1 Pest Control has been our pest control company since we returned to the area and we have been very pleased with their service . Also have recommended the company to several people for not only pest control but basement moisture barrier replacement.

We use A-1 for all of our pest control and radon needs, both personally and professionally! Kevin Shuford worked diligently and thoroughly all throughout the day with our personal home and our rental properties. Very knowledgeable and professional. He made sure we were satisfied with his/their service, and had a wonderful demeanor while doing it! Don’t look anywhere else - A-1 Pest Control is the place to give your business to!!

Avery from A-1 Lenoir came to our house today to lay down full termite protection. He was very polite, very professional, explained everything that needed to be done, answered all my questions, and did a fantastic job! I went outside a couple of times to check on the work and was really surprised at how professionally he handled the drilling, filling, and bait trapping. Today was a very humid and warm day, yet he finished ahead of his own time expectation. I hope A-1 keeps that young man around because he reflected extremely well on the entire company! Thank you Avery , for a job well done - Vincent Argiro

Hunter was our technician. He was prompt to return my call when requesting service and was able to work me in the schedule very quick (next day). He was very knowledgeable and explained what to expect after the treatment. 10/10 recommend. The lady in the office was also very nice to deal with.

We’ve been using A-1 for about two years. They’re wonderful. Although included, we never need treatment inside since the outside treatment keeps the pests from getting in.Our technician, Kolton is very thorough. He communicates via text before and after each treatment to make sure any specific needs or concerns are addressed. Kolton even noticed our old dog’s big bark was gone during the first treatment after he passed away and he had the kindest words to say.

Corey of A-1 in Fleetwood NC appeared on our doorstep just minutes after I called their main office to see if someone could come out asap to address the hornets' nest which appeared almost overnight just outside our bedroom door leading to the patio. He took care of the problem thoroughly, was extremely courteous and professional and left with two new happy customers. Thank you again, Corey!

We worked with Nathan on identifying an under house issue and scoping out the work to fix it at our home in Banner Elk. He was extremely responsive, communicative, and thorough. We have an intrusive and destructive groundhog under our house who has caused lots of damage. Nathan patiently walked is through all of the findings, took lots of photos, and talked through a plan. Not only can he / A1 help us in humanely removing the critter, but they also offer options to fix the damage so that we don’t have to see multiple resources.Thank you Nathan and A1!

This was my first experience working with A-1 and their representative, Nathan Cranfill, did an outstanding job representing the company and their offerings. He was easy to work with and very knowledgable about all the topics we discussed. Looking forward to the encapsulation of our crawl space and seeing the benefits of their pest control program.

We have had exemplary service from A-1 Pest. Our service contract brings them out quarterly to treat for insects and rodents, but it in the surprises that they excel. Recently a raccoon entered the house while we were away, making quite a mess. Caleb came the same day we called, and identified the outside access points and the route along plumbing lines from room to room so we could seal things up. Previously they treated carpenter ant and stink bug infestations, and a hornet's nest. Mountain living is close to nature, and A-1 helps us keep that nature on the outside of the house!

Magaly M.

We can not be happier with the office and service staff at A-1, especially Logan our service technician. We have a second home in Beech and he is always on time and keeps us informed about his findings. We had a situation after one of his visits and he volunteered to go back on his own to resolve the problem. He is by far the best and most courteous technician we've had.

I have had top notch service from A-1 pest control from the very first time someone came to my house. I have had various folks for different issues and every one of them has been awesome. Colton does my quarterly service, and I can depend on his expertise and professionalism for anything that may be a potential issue. What I also appreciate is no one tries to talk me into anything I don't need. They go over my options and help me choose, but I have never felt pressured. I highly recommend A-1 and am so glad I chose them when I needed a professional pest control service.

Kevin came to my home today to help me deal with a european hornet issue I have. I have used another pest company for a couple years and I have not been more impressed by any tech I have dealt with in the past as I was with Kevin.

Joel and Jacob came out and not only took care of my mosquito issues but ticks too. They went above and beyond on an ant issue I had and checked on another concern I had. These guys were on spot with getting the job done well and covering all my needs. This is the kind of professional attitude all companies should have. I could never be more grateful for paying for the kind of service they provide.

I’ve never had a faster service call. I requested some help with ants between regular appointments which they scheduled for just a couple days out. Then I received a call I didn’t recognize and it was the service tech (Hunter) who said he was in my neighborhood and would be right there. Thanks to Hunter for being alert to an unexpected appointment. The whole thing took maybe 15 mins from when the ant was spotted to when the technician arrived. Thanks ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am so impressed with A-1 Pest Control! We tried Critter Gitterz twice without any response, not knowing A-1 Pest Control took care of bats. I called as soon as I learned that they provided this service and they had someone at my house that afternoon. We had a quote the next day, which was reasonable for all they had to do. If you have any kind of pest issue, A-1 Pest Control is the best around for the best price!

Been using a1 to treat our residence since we moved after having numerous bugs in and around the home. The service has been excellent and we have seen a drastic decrease in the pests around our home.

Kevin is always willing to listen to our concerns and walk us through various options to combat our issue. Would highly recommend a1 to others.

I got a telephone call from Joseph this morning letting me know he was going to be in the area of my mountain cabin ( second home) and he offered to go up to it and check to see if everything was okay and he would go ahead and treat my home while he was there. I explained that I live 2 1/2 hours away and had no way to know if it had survived the storm or not. He even offered to take photos of things that might not be okay. I have never experienced this kind of kindness from someone I have never met before . To know that there is someone who cares like this is absolutely wonderful and so affirming! If I could have given him a hug through the phone lines, I would have done it. A-1 is a wonderful company and I am so happy that they have not only my business, but my back as well!!!!
