Absolute Death

I am not sure how I feel about this place. The staff was great but we continued to have mice. So yea.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had a roach problem and after some extensive seaching on Unilocal and google, I came across Absolute Death. Mike was beyond helpful in answering all my questions and didn’t even sound annoyed when I called him a thousand and one times with questions. Reasonable pricing and great customer service. Highly recommended!
They also use organic methods of extermination so no need to fret about the 4 legged roommates or kids

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.

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.

I can’t say enough good things about absolute death. My landlord sends an exterminator in on e a month, but after a particularly disgusting roommate last year I had a roach infestation of epic proportions. Everyone thought I was exaggerating… until they came over. The regular exterminator took some drastic measures to absolutely no avail. I thought the situation was past the point of no return until I called Absolute Death. They came in and used an organic spray, drilled into the floors and walls, and told me not to come home for three days. While there were millions of DEAD bugs to clean up when I got home, there was no awful chemical smell. It actually smelled like wintergreen. Not a bug since. I have them come back and spray every couple months just to be safe, but my place is happily bug free.
I’d just like to say that beyond being thoroughly effective, these are just all around nice people. Half the reason you want to pay them is because you can tell they’re just hard working guys doing an honest days work. Hiring them is good fair business.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
