I have been a customer for several years. First Select has always been punctual and responsive, with transparency on their billing and reports. I get recurring treatment of my home in the Oakland hills for spiders and there are significantly less than before I started with them. I want to specifically call out Daniel and Robert, who have come out to my home to do the service. They both are highly communicative with me and their customer service is excellent and obviously a high priority for them. They clearly work hard and it shows. Thanks! read more

UPDATE: Dominic rescheduled and made accommodations in order to service my unit specially. He was sincere and apologized for the misunderstanding. He also was quick to ask my pronouns and was always mindful and respectful. He even brought another recent hire to shadow who was also incredibly polite and respectful. Dominic was also mindful of my home space and the ways he moved through it. I would recommend his services to anyone facing pests or insects in their home. read more

I reached out to Dominic of First Select to help remove a wasp nest that formed in the frame of a sliding glass door. Dominic responded promptly, provided a reasonable quote, came out early the next morning, completed the job competently and was exceptionally kind throughout it all. He's a gem and exactly the type of person a homeowner wants to have on their call list when pest problems arise. I would absolutely call him again and can recommend him unreservedly. read more

So grateful to Dominic for providing customer service above and beyond all of my expectations. Not only did First Select rid my apartment of roof rats but he offered excellent advice about how to rid my apartment of fleas years later: he sent links to products to buy and offered advice on how to use them to attack the issue in the most eco friendly way possible - all for free. He really cares about his customers and goes the extra mile to ensure they are completely satisfied with results. read more

I have been using Fspc for the past two (2) years. They are always punctual, professional and proficient. My technician, Daniel always calls before every service and he always follow up with me at the end of every service visit. I humble observation, if you really want to experience a company that actually gives a DAM, give them a call and experience the difference. read more

Dominic Foster with First Select Pest Control earns a 5 star review for his great customer service above all. He came to evaluate my mother's house the day I called him when she had an ant infestation as well as to control spiders. It's nice to deal with an owner/operator business such as First Select Pest Control that cares about their customers above all else. He treated my mother and her house with respect and we look forward to doing business with him now and into the future. Keep up the great work Dominic! read more

Have an old house with very well established ant colonies in clay soil. I fought them for many years until they became immune to ALL poisons. Dominic came once with very little disruption to the household and the ants were gone in about an hour. Haven't seen them again in a year. Unbelievable. read more

We started using First select after a kitchen ant invasion several years ago. they responded very quickly, took care of the problem, and suggested a quarterly plan to handle ant and spider incursions. We always get a heads up the day before their visit, their operator is courteous, thorough and the service highly effective. read more

I have a house in Berkeley, and have used First Select for several years. Dominic has been responsive and friendly (to me but not the ants which seem to revisit my residence every couple years). Dominic had eight years with a large pest control company before staring on his own. I like supporting a small businesses. When I call, I get a quick response to my inquiry. read more

I can't say enough great things about First Select Pest Control! The owner and lead inspector, Dominic, is absolutely amazing--personable, honest, punctual, and truly ethical in every sense of the word. It's rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work and genuinely cares about their clients' peace of mind, but Dominic is absolutely this person. The cost of their services is beyond reasonable, especially considering the exceptional level of expertise and professionalism he and his team bring to every job. After every visit, I have total confidence that things will be done right the first time. Dominic's attention to detail and commitment to quality make all the difference for me. I wholeheartedly recommend First Select Pest Control to anyone in need of reliable, trustworthy, and effective pest control services. You won't find a better company or a more genuine professional than Dominic. read more

First Select Pest Control is absolutely top-notch! Their team is extremely knowledgeable and provides outstanding customer service from start to finish. We had a serious ant problem that we couldn't get rid of no matter what we tried--but after hiring First Select Pest Control, the ants were completely eliminated! They addressed the issue properly and efficiently, and the cost was totally worth it. I highly recommend you give them a try--you won't be disappointed! read more

Even though there hasn't been various times I've been associated with this company, so far the few times I've done a service with them I've had a great experience so far. The main office was great to talk to, very kind respectful people, and the technician who came out was courteous, and knowledgeable about his work. He explained everything clearly and was happy to answer all of my questions. I personally haven't spoken to the owner but my neighbor who recommended me this company have shared only positive things about him. read more

Fast, professional service. Easy to schedule. Took care of a wasp nest in a difficult to reach spot. Dominic is great.

I have been using pest control services for over 25 years and after a recent ant invasion in our home in Lucas Valley and researching one stop all pest services i was the luckiest person ever to find Dominic at First Select Pest control!!! Not only did he squeeze me in and come immediately he has been a godsend for servicing our home now for almost 2 years! He is the guy for keeping your home free of any pests. In coming every other month with your service contract that is so affordable, doing whatever needs to be done is the best prevention from having to make a HELP call to fix a problem. Dominic is a true gem in the field of customer service wow A+++! Always smiling, asking if everything is pest free and unbelievably accommodating. Even got a cobweb inside our home that we couldnt reach with our 14 foot ceiling. Truly I cannot say enough GREAT things about Dominic- DO NOT LOOK ELSEWHERE, First Select Pest DOES IT ALL!! read more

Thanks to Dominic and Julia for your service. I was so dejected when my guest reported about one small cockroach in my rental property. I called the company, and their schedule was fully booked throughout the week. However, Dominic showed up and did the great service.

Dominic is professional, kind, carefully explain, recommend the solution to prevent for any pest problem in the future and service with fair price. Therefore, I highly recommend First Select Pest Control for anybody out there who needs pest control service. Best, Nikki B read more

Dominic and his wonderful team consistently do an amazing job. They truly care about customer satisfaction and showing empathy to clients' concerns. Over the years, they have been very responsive, thorough, and especially efficient at solving issues. Highly recommended! read more

One star for poor communication and customer service. For weeks now, our family has been getting eaten alive by some unidentified insect or critter. All three of us are absolutely covered with terribly itchy bites. We called First Select Pest Control to investigate. They identified tropical rat mites, outlined a treatment plan (aerosols in the sub space plus diatomaceous earth in electrical wall sockets, in addition to a possible carpet treatment), and they scheduled treatment for the following week. However, the following week, they reversed their decision and decided not to treat, after all. Although I understood the general explanation, that they cannot guarantee results without eliminating the underlying cause (rats, which they were unable to find; we live in a row of attached townhouses, which means the rats could be in or around someone else's unit), I was disappointed because they went back on their original word to do the treatment. Our family continues to be at the mercy of these horrible, biting arthropods. Instead of treating, Dominic left a number of sticky mite monitors around our house and said he'd return in two days to check. Two days later, I hadn't heard from him, so I called to ask when he planned to return. Surprisingly, Dominic informed me he wasn't planning to return -- unless I checked the monitors myself and found mites. I said I could certainly check, but that's not what he'd advised two days earlier. We hung up, and I went into a meeting for work. An hour later, my doorbell rang; it was Dominic and his assistant Will. I was not at all prepared for them to drop by (they had called, but I had missed their message since I was in a meeting). Dominic did not find anything on the sticky monitors that day, but he asked me to let him know if I found anything in the coming days.  He wanted to be able to positively identify the mites (I found this confusing because the initial inspection report confirmed that he'd already done so via photos). Over the next week, I emailed Dominic several times to let him know we'd captured many mites on the monitors. He didn't reply to my first couple of messages. Finally, after the third message, he replied to indicate that he'd already done enough for us: "Thanks again for reaching out to us here at First Select Pest Control. We have visited your residence on several occasions and have provided you with ample information concerning mites..." When I expressed confusion, reminding him that he'd asked me to let him know if we found mites on the monitors so that he could see them, he asked me to stop emailing First Select Pest Control. He said I could call him if I wished to discuss, but that he thought there was nothing more he could do. Again, I understand that the best treatment is locating and eradicating the underlying problem: the rats. But First Select initially offered a treatment that promised to offer at least some temporary relief to our family from the biting mites. The fact that they said they would treat, then reversed their decision, and then communicated so poorly regarding the sticky mite monitors, eventually refusing to even look at the mites we've captured, is the basis for my one-star review. In the meantime, our family continues to be eaten alive, with no relief in sight. read more

I'd give six stars if I could. I had a mouse problem that I was hoping to get fixed asap. Dominic drove out to my place in the pouring rain and promptly patched up the area where the mice were getting in. On top of that, he was super friendly and easy to work with. I definitely recommend his services. read more

Does the job, good value, pet friendly spray and alway available/ on call. Very good at giving you details on preventative pest control.

it is IMPOSSIBLE that this place has five stare reviews. Yelp must take a cut. these people are the laziest people I've ever worked with. 1 star is way too much for this company, it's like you go to a restaurant and pretend them to cut your hair. read more

First off Dominic is a great person! Very knowledgeable and helpful!!! Took the time to explain everything and helped me tremendously! First Select shows they care for their customers! Thanks again First Select Pest Control and Thank you Dominic! read more

Horrible customer service. There is no follow up when promised. Dominique has an attitude if you try to approach him about poor service and failed promises. Did not cure any issue. Would not recommend read more

So happy with this company. The owner Dominic is a great guy and knows his stuff. He solved by "ants coming from everywhere" problem and there is not an ant in sight now. They were very thoughtful about how they tackled the problem. Highly recommend! read more

Dominic showed up the same day and took care of business. Ants were gone after just couple days. Would highly recommend to anybody out there for pest control needs. read more

Dominic and Daniel were amazing and kind. I would def use their services again. It's not everyday that people come in your home and really help you where it's needed. Thank you again guys! read more

We had ants coming inside the house and we hired First Select Pest Control for treatment of this issue. While Dominic is a nice guy and sweet talker, his treatment services are not effective at all. In less than 6 months after the treatment the ants were back in the house and upon calling they wanted us to start a service plan where they would treat this every other month. A few years ago we had hired another company for the same service and we did not see any ants in the house for about 4 years. I think its a total waste of money with First Select Pest Control service. read more

Had a great experience with Michael from First Select Pest Control. He was able to block off areas under our house where animals were previously entering and was extremely professional throughout every interaction. Highly recommended! read more

I needed wasp nests taken care of in an old garden shed that was going to be demolished and removed. Dominic arrived early the morning after I called and took care of it. He is professional, kind and fair, and I would not hesitate to call him again. read more

Dominic was great. Very honest, friendly, and down to earth. He was quick to respond to my request on Yelp right away. Called me within 10 minutes after responding to my message, and was just a very down to earth friendly person on the phone. He came right on time, Did a full assessment on the Home to identify where there were any holes, if any. He was honest in his assessment, did not try to upsell me on any additional services or anything, and performed an honest real job. These days you can't say the same about a lot of other service-based businesses. Most service-based business' agenda is to lead you down this false sales funnel with fear tactics and sales tactics to get you to spend more money with their business model. That was not Dominic whatsoever. All he wanted to do was genuinely help and give an honest service without any hidden monetary agendas. I know who I will call next time I need pest control service. Thanks again Dominic. read more
