Frank from Absolute Death was incredible! He got us set up with appointments fast and explained exactly how everything would go. Super helpful, easy to talk to, full of fascinating facts about how roaches work and how to get rid of them. We had been living with roaches in the kitchen sink, in drawers, in the bathroom, just all over the place. Our slumlord, Bronstein Properties, had completely failed in helping us with tis issue. When Absolute Death stepped in, they told us straight up that landlords often use cheap, ineffective supplies that don't actually solve the problem. These guys use the real shit! One of the treatments was a caramel-colored gel the roaches eat, throw up, and then other roaches eat that vomit back at the nest. They also used roach birth control to stop future generations from hatching, as well as a powder injection below the skin to make the area dry and uncomfortable for roaches. Our technician, Minor, was great - friendly, polite, upbeat, and fast. The apartment always smelled amazing after he left. They used something that was cat-friendly and left the house smelling like sweet cinnamon or cloves. It's been a huge relief to finally live without roaches. Thank you, Absolute Death!!! read more

I am so impressed by how Frank handled our bizarre indoor mosquito problem and how generous he was with his time and knowledge. He actually suggested trying non-toxic, DIY solutions before hiring them to come out. He gave my husband and I a great education about the lifecycle and breeding habitat of mosquitoes (ie I didn't know they could lay eggs in such a tiny amount of standing water.) We had consulted two companies prior, one who wanted to charge up to $650 (!!!) to evaluate and spray in our relatively small apt and backyard without even seeing where the problem stemmed from. It was a huge relief to speak to Frank, try some of his tips, and know he's there if we do need further treatment. It's rare to encounter such ethical & kind business owners in this field, in my experience. Greatly appreciated and highly recommend! read more

My building is contracted with Absolute Death. Frank and Mike are great to work with. Both are nice, patient, knowledgeable guys. We've had roach infestations off and on and this is the only company to get to the root of the problem. For $100, I paid for the "initial treatment" as part of our building contract. We went away for the week and came home to 25 dead roaches all over the apartment. All were dead. Thank you, Mike for your hard work. A huge plus is that this company uses all natural materials. read more

I mean this company is top tier. From the staff to the products they use. I had a mice problem for a couple of weeks. I called this company. Spoke to frank. What a great informative frank is. Well the problem was solve almost instantly by 2 weeks I didn't see or have any more problems. I would recommend to friends and family. We need more small companies like this. read more

These guys have delivered me from the evil that is cockroaches. My landlord sends in a monthly exterminator that does absolutely ZERO to actually get rid of bugs. I freeze all organic waste for composting, keep my kitchen spotless, and take out recycling daily. But it's not a match for a particularly disgusting restaurant that opened underneath me sending swarms of bugs to crawl on my countertops at night. I tried everything. My landlord sent his guy three times and the bugs were pretty much just giving me the finger adhesive left. 40 minutes with Mike and they're gone. Thanks guys. You're the best in the biz. read more

I've been using these guys for about 2 years now & they are great. We have only had to have them back a couple times for supplemental spraying & our roach problem has almost completely disappeared. & i know this is going to sound crazy but their bug spray smells amazing! read more

We had a major problem with mice. We signed up for the full program and Mike came in and went to town. After filling, sealing, baiting, and trapping, we went from seeing mice every day to not seeing a single one for three months straight! It was fantastic. These guys are good, professional, know what they're doing, and take care to make sure that whatever solution they propose is both dog and kid friendly. These guys are my go to pest elimination guys. Plus, their name is pretty awesome. read more

After reading the reviews online, I decided to give Absolute Death a try. I also liked the idea of doing business with a neighborhood vendor. I called and Frank answered the call. I explained the problem we were having which seemed to be flour beetles. I told him I had captured a few and could bring them over. He said to "take as many photos of them as possible and email him the photographs". I did this... Never received an email response nor a phone call. I called and left a message requesting a call back. Again, no response. Dealing with these unwanted pests is stressful enough. One should not have to deal with such unprofessional and unacceptable business practices. If they can't handle the pest problem, or do not want to, at the very least, respond to the email they requested!!!! Very disappointed. read more

I called for a quote and Frank was very professional as well as informative. He provides you with three options for extermination services as well as discount conditions. Everything is pretty much up front. This professional lets the consumer know what he or she is getting. Other exterminators give you very little feed back before they show up and then give you some crazy quote without foundation. Frank was upfront about his pricing and let you know what they same would fall between before seeing the sight and then if agreeable you can schedule a date and time. We set a date for him to visit and give an assessment. I found his reply and call back very professional. Will update my review after his visit. read more

Once upon a time, I moved into a filthy apartment. There were roaches everywhere. We called absolute Death. Didn't see another roach for 2 and a half years. read more

I'm not going to lie but I definitely put off writing this review because I was scared to jinx myself! I moved into my current place in January 2014 and quickly found out that I had roommates who do not pay rent. I have a general fear of anything with more legs than me and just simply cannot function in that type of environment. I chose AD because of the name alone and boy am I glad I did. I got the $250 treatment which includes baiting, spraying the kitchen and bathroom and also drilling a hole into the bottom of my kitchen cabinet -- leaving insect poison near the possible nest -- and then resealing. I also asked that they spray other areas of my apartment, including the bedroom and living room. The spray was pet friendly (Lola the Cat is still very much alive and kicking) and smelled like mint. The technician arrived on time and answered both me and my mom's annoying ass questions. My mother does not play games, she followed him from room to room to make sure he sprayed everything and then some. He followed through with a smile. I think they even hugged at the end! It's been over a year and things have gone exceptionally well. *knock on wood* I recommended the service to my friend who had a much larger issue. She too has also enjoyed an insect free apartment since then. All hail Absolute Death! Saving one apartment at a time! read more

As a Buddhist, I have some concerns about this name. As a New Yorker, I have some deep feelings of gratitude for Absolute Death's ability to consistently rid my apartment of unwelcome pests. Clearly, I am conflicted. But, let's look a little deeper: same-day service! Patience! (I was about 10 minutes late and they waited for me.) Compassion! (For me, not the bugs...) Highly recommended. read more

Excellent service! Frank was very reassuring and knowledgeable on the phone. and the guys that showed up were efficient, just as knowledgeable and did a great job. I had taken the mouse, package 1 and sealing option. They went around sealed up everything and sprayed the entire place. Very thorough work. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

We saw a rat running through the kitchen at 10pm and by 11pm on was on the phone with Frank, who spoke to me for a half hour about everything rat related. Next day Absolute Death showed up punctually and took care of the problem professionally. We also used Absolute Death a few years back for bedbugs, which was also effective. Highly recommended. read more

If you're looking for a service company that will always begin by telling you what they can't do or why the customer is at fault, this is the company for you. If you're looking for a service company that will try and up-sell first and then find a solution, this is the company for you. read more

Utterly let down. After being mansplained to about carpenter ants versus pavement ants I had a bad taste in my mouth. The technician was kind enough. Even though having write two separate receipts for two separate units was a big ask. Well, we still have ants. I called to tell them. They didn't care. "It takes time" it's been two weeks, we got more ants. They have been fine in the past maybe they just don't care anymore. PS I know what a carpenter ant looks like- even though I'm female. O read more

Absolute Death is Awesome! We were literally ready to move out of our beautiful, but roach infested apt. We had used another exterminator for 6 months, but the problem wasn't getting better. The guys at Absolute are super friendly and knowledgeable, and work around my erratic freelance schedule. After 2 visits, it feels like living in a different apartment. We are so happy!! These guys will fix your problem, don't mess around with anyone else!!! oh and I forgot to mention that their products are pet and child friendly, it doesnt get batter than that! read more

Spoke to Frank Late night before and prior to scheduling was a given a detailed breakdown of what takes places. Cisco and Mike were timely and efficient and very helpful. I'd recommend and use their services again. My only con is I wish the Maitenence monthly fee was a bit cheaper. :). Thanks guys. read more

Excellent response time. Excellent service. My ant problem is GONE! Highly recommend.

I was moving into a new house and called to have them do a preventative hole plug-up and spray. Spoke with Frank on the phone and he professional, informative, and patient with all of my questions. He was also able to bring guys out to very soon after I called which was great. When they came, they were extremely thorough and explained what they did and offered follow up suggestions. Would definitely recommend. read more

We used absolute death in 2104 when we were renovating our current apartment. We live in a very old building and before we started out renovation the building inspector saw many signs of roaches, so we wanted to make sure that we didn't have old roaches running around in our new construction. Absolute Death showed up on time and were very professional. They did wall injections around our wet walls which kept us from seeing any signs of roaches for almost two years, which is remarkable considering that we live in an old building. Their price point felt a little bit high when you're paying, but the quality of the work is so good that it really makes it a good value. read more

These guys are great. I discovered mice at about eight and a half months pregnant and totally freaked out. I called them at midnight on a Saturday and got an incredibly nice person to talk me through my options. Two days later they were at my apartment doing the works. They generally ask that you wait two weeks before calling them back (there is a warranty) but after ten days of no activity I saw droppings and called back. Because I was pregnant and probably more anxious than most people to get rid of the mice they came back right away, which I appreciated. Turns out there was nothing else to be done and I think they were right that it just takes a few weeks because after catching two with their traps I've yet to see any activity a month later. To top it off they are very nice and professional guys. read more

I just want to say that Mike the exterminator was very helpful in coming to my aide! I came home and saw a dropping and I googled Absolute Death read the reviews and hoped I would speak to Mike. Mike received very high reviews from many of his past clients. When I called I was on the phone with Mike for about 30 minutes explaining and listening to his suggestions about my rodent problem--before I finally asked his name. And he said Mike! I was like you are the reason I called this company because of your reviews. And because I was so anxious to take care of the problem he came over the very next morning and finished in time for me to run to work. He also assured me that he would be checking on me in about three weeks! I really appreciated his fast and patient help and professionalism. Thanks Mike! read more

My girl and I moved into an apartment in the upper west side, and the building management was already using Avalon pest control as their pest control contractor. We had a growing German roach infestation and wanted it taken care of immediately. The contracting pest control company was unreachable, lacked transparency in their methods and products, and did not take the time to really understand the problem. Absolute Death was AMAZING. Frank spoke in detail with us several times over the phone to tell us exactly what would happen, why it was happening, and what other protective steps we could do - he made sure our concerns were addressed and that we were knowledgeable as to what would happen. On the day of the treatment, they came in like SUPERHEROES and the infestation was gone within the time frame they gave us (about two weeks). Not only did they take care of the actual infestation, but they also gave us protective measures to secure our entire apartment. They are the real deal! read more

Absolute Death helped me eliminate a very bad bed bug infestation. I trust their technicians and expertise, and if this ever happens again I will use their services. I recommend them to anyone dealing with the reality of bed bugs in cities. read more

I' m happy with company absolute death because they did a good job in my house, then i recomended all my family and friends. I call them once a year because I want to keep my house very clean. read more

I have been using Absolute Death for over 3 years and give them my highest recommendation. After signing a lease for our apartment, we were dismayed to find it on Bed Bug Registry. A call with Absolute Death, and subsequent check up, relieved our fears. While we didn't have bed bugs, we signed up for a monthly spraying to keep our apartment pest-free. We have been incredibly happy with the results. The service is affordable and they use an organic spray, a big plus. Mike is an extremely friendly serviceman who always addresses our needs. Experienced, knowledgeable and reliable. read more

I called Absolute Death to get rid of mice in my home. Mike came out immediately and on time. He sealed holes & baited. Mike was professional, knowledgable and patient. I haven't seen a mouse since. Mike was awesome! He was worth every penny. read more

I really wanted to give Absolute Death a better review. Back when we first got our place in October they were the most price competitive and most responsive ones to our massive cockroach infestation and got the job done. Based on that good experience we decided to start a year plan with them. They charged $125 for the initial spraying, gave us a deal to treat the outside and the inside for $75, and promised they would follow up with a receipt and contract, and when to make the next appointment. Fast forward to multiple phone calls and emails to the guys asking for the contract and how we move forward from here to make the next appointment and now it's just radio silence. It's been over a month, no one has gotten back to me, and I've been forced to realize they may never, and that we should have only paid for the one treatment because it seems like they are unable to follow through. Not to mention we are seeing signs of bugs again, despite keeping a very clean house and personally caulking every single crack and crevice I could find. Overall, I am really disappointed and feel like I was overcharged and taken advantage of. read more

These guys are worse than Time Warner. You get a two hour window and they show up an hour AFTER the 2-hour block, without a phone call giving you a heads up. They've missed their block 3 times with me. Very inconvenient if you're a working person or have a kid who needs a nap. And by the way, they were back three times because the German roaches continued returning after their treatment. Mike is very nice, but I wasn't paying for niceness. AND, their service will charge you full price for follow up visits when the problem persists...unless you contract them for like 6 visits. I don't think these guys know what the word "absolute" means. read more

I called them about 2 years ago due to a mice issue we had. They came in set up bait and glue traps showed me areas that the mice were coming in and filled as many holes as they could and I had a contractor to cover larger areas. With in 2 weeks we had caught all the mice an ever since then they service my home each month so we have not had a major problem again. They are very fairly priced and most important they come ASAP when I call if I have an issue.. They also spray my home for ant and water bugs and use a spray that is ok with animals and young children. Mike who is the guy who services me is always very helpful. Would never use anyone else read more

I moved into incredible apt in Astoria that had a littttttttle bit of a roach problem. I first called M&M who blocked the gaps and holes and did a roach spray treatment. Ending up spending $750 for entire process and still was seeing roaches every two days! Searched yelp and decided to go with Absolute DEATH because of their name. Chose package 2, only seen a few roaches here and there as problem takes time to solve with as many roaches I had (my apt is attached to trash chute). They are cheaper and more effective than M&M, don't waste your money. Go with Absolute Death. The name says it all. read more

Absolute Death has provided service whenever we've needed it over the last 9 years in our house. They come quickly, offer us several options and never push for the most expensive one. The stuff they use is safe for kids and animals. The technicians are friendly and professional. And the service works. Highly recommend. read more

I am a small landlord in Park Slope for 30 years and have had pretty good luck with the rare vermin issues, up until the recent bed bug invasion began affecting my buildings starting about eight years ago. I got a lot of quotes, and much conflicting information, but Absolute Death made the process clearest, along with reasonable costs and guarantees that they back up. I have come to rely on them, and now they are the only call I make. Courteous, thorough, and able to calm and reassure freaked out tenants, these guy are reliable and get the job done, usually in a single treatment. Who says honesty is out of style? These are old school professionals. read more

I've never posted a review of anything before, but I'm pretty irate. I paid $500 for the most aggressive rodent treatment plan, only to have the mice resurface days after the warranty period ended. Useless! read more

In my personal experience there is no one better at getting rid of mice than Absolute Death. I live in an old apartment building in the village in Manhattan and so while we love our location, mice are unfortunately an issue that do come up at our building year after year it seems. And though our super has a company that he uses once a month to spray for bugs, they are useless when it comes to getting rid of mice so I always insist on Absolute Death coming if the mice problems persist. Absolute Death do the full deal of finding every single hole that a mouse could be coming in from, have the best traps and are just really knowledgable in general and always very nice to deal with. Plus, we find after they come that it is much longer than their 30 day guarantee that we don't have any mouse issues again! I highly recommend them and always tell my friends to use them too. read more

I've been using Absolute Death for a few years. They are quick, responsive and get the job done. I highly recommend them.

Soon after moving into a new apartment a few years ago, I realized that I was having a bit of a pest problem. I did not trust my management company's exterminator and chose Absolute Death purely based on their name and logo. I was pleased with every aspect of the service including their use of natural sprays to rid the apartment of cockroaches and insects, all of the time and hard work they put into finding and closing off any holes that rodents could enter, and most importantly, their patience in dealing with all of my anxiety and questions related to the pest problem and process. I have not had any problem with pests since in that apartment, but if I did, I would have not thought twice about calling Absolute Death. In fact, I am about to move into a new apartment and have scheduled Absolute Death to pre-treat the apartment before moving in! read more

Absolute death is fantastic. I called them when I discovered I had a pretty bad cockroach infestation a few years ago. Everyone I talked to told me that no matter what exterminator I used they would probably have to come back a few times to completely get rid of the roaches. Not true! I purchased the Level 2 treatment and Absolute Death was true to its name and wiped the bugs out in one shot. I have them come back every year in the summer for a refresher treatment because I am paranoid, and have not seen another roach since I moved in. read more

These guys are great! I had a big mouse problem about three years ago. My super tried four or five times to get it under control but couldn't. Absolute Death came once and the mice were gone. I had them come back again this week to check on things and they were as nice and professional as ever. If you've had mice you know they can make you skittish even after years of not having them. They took the time to answer any of my questions and did a thorough job of checking everything out to make sure things were up to scratch. I would highly recommend them. read more
