First Strike Termite & Pest Control

Prompt service. Professional & efficient. Jay was our tech & you could tell that he takes his work seriously & wants to do the best job that he can for you

I would highly recommend First Strike. Rates are very reasonable and they do a thorough job. They did my termite inspection when I bought my house so I called them again when I had an ant issue as the weather got warm. They booked me very quickly and the tech that provided the service was fantastic. He helped to look for the source of the problem (and was even super kind and brought in a heavy package i had delivered for me while he was here). You can tell they care about their customers and go above and beyond!

Grover with First Strike went above and beyond today in providing preventative care service to our home. We highly recommend Grover!

First Strike is great! Their employees are ALWAYS friendly and professional. We are on a regular maintenance schedule but if we ever need them for any issues we are having they are always prompt and able to work around our business schedule.

Quick Prompt Care, First Strike came out when I had purchased my house to ensure that the property was safe, they had a very detailed report, honest owner and very quick service! They are my go to people for any needs!

Although I was unable to meet my inspector, the report I received for a termite inspection for my new house, was detailed & straight forward. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting pest control work done. The lady answering phones was so nice! Thank you for your great service!

Great company and service. Top notch!

We had two nests of mud daubers under the eaves of our top floor, and everyone at First Strike -- the techs who found and solved the problem, the owner who answered my initial email, and the office manager, who kept me informed -- could not have been more pleasant and helpful! The problem was resolved within 24 hours and I will definitely call them again with any other pest issues. I highly recommend First Strike!

The staff there is really nice. The technicians are very professional and knowledgeable... The office manager there goes above and beyond the call of duty to get their clients scheduled and serviced in a timely manner. Great people Great Service and the Best prices in town.

Very impressed with how polite and helpful they were when we called. They were fast in their response to our exterminator need and very knowledgeable. The gentleman who came to our house, Joel, was very helpful! I really appreciated this service.

I researched all of the pest control companies in Bloomington/Normal and First Strike was the most competitive in terms of price. Also, Randy told me he used to work for one of the larger companies before starting First Strike a few years ago so he has many years of experience with the large well known companies. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable. We had a problem with small black ants in our home. Randy sprayed the inside and outside of the house, located a colony that was the source of our problem, and set bait inside as well. We signed up for the quarterly service but he offers a one time service with a return spray for no additional charge. He also offers a monthly service if you don't need year round service. Very happy with First Strike and I highly recommend!

Phil showed up ON TIME and was the most pleasant and courteous with his presentation and character. He quickly diagnosed our issue, helped move items, applied what needed applied to, cleaned up without being asked and offered to help bring in the groceries. Here and gone within 50 minutes and we couldn't be more pleased with the service.

When I first bought my condo I set up for every 3 months. However, I have not heard a thing from them in over 8 months. I will be looking for another company since they can't seem to get here.

Update: OK, so I am an idiot. It took me and my husband a year and a half to realize that we had our numbers changed about 2 months after we moved here... and kind of forgot to give First Strike our new contact information.

I WILL say this for them, they don't hold hard feelings if you make a stupid mistake like that. We have gone back to them because Orkin's spray was horrible. It didn't work in the slightest bit. ALSO, they don't live up to their guarantees. They tell you that your service is guaranteed for 3 months but it isn't. You call them to come back out to spray and they try to explain why their product isn't working AT ALL.

First Strike is different. We got our home sprayed when we moved in and it took nearly an ENTIRE YEAR before we had to call in another company because the we were just then starting to see bugs. The service is better too. The gentleman spent time spraying behind objects, along all walls, around the windows and doors. He even went around the outside and laid ant bait because they were getting in my house. He was here for nearly 45 minutes.

Parking, on the other hand, would be here for 15 minutes AND even though we would pull furniture from the walls the guy NEVER sprayed behind the stuff. Then they wondered why I was calling by the end of the first month saying "We are still seeing spiders and those weird billion legged fishy bugs".

I am definitely staying with first strike from now on. Next time I change my number I will make sure that my list of updated services includes First Strike.

We have worked with first strike for awhile and we have ALWAYS had great service and everyone has ALWAYS been very professional. We would highly reccomend their service!

The only place to call for termite inspections on a home purchase and general pest control. Randy and his team are fantastic and go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied! Super easy to do business with.

Great exterminator! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Having multiple rental properties I'm thankful for their willingness to work with me and my needs.

They define the words "customer service" 😃 They're courteous, prompt, thorough and they genuinely care about their customers . The office personnel, the workers outside the office, they all do exceptional work!

Nick and the first strike team are great to work with. I suggest them to anyone needing their service. Great local company 👍

Used them for 8 yrs now and wouldn't change for nothing. The owner is a great guy and staff is friendly.

Great company, we use them every Spring and one treatment takes care of our little indoor invaders!
