I hate all insects… And spiders the long things with a zillion legs… I get freaked out whenever I see them in my house. I keep a clean house but yet they still come back. I’m so happy they came to spray the inside and outside of my house… Of course, all the stuff is pet friendly and they come with a nine month guarantee which is great… We’re very efficient covered all the necessary areas inside and outside

Very very reliable came exactly when they said they were going to come ! I was freaked out by all the mouse droppings. Took care of the issue right away and explained to me in detail how it worked… I have three little dogs, which I always worry about- everything they use is totally safe around my little Fur babies . Definitely would recommend again and again well worth it.

had a great experience with this wildlife removal company. I called about a woodchuck living under my shed, and they responded very quickly—coming out the very next day to set up a live trap. To my surprise, the woodchuck was caught on the first attempt! They returned promptly to pick up the trap and handled everything professionally and efficiently. The whole process was smooth, stress-free, and they clearly knew what they were doing. I also appreciated how they explained the situation and made me feel at ease, especially since I have kids who play in the yard. I highly recommend their services to anyone dealing with wildlife issues. Thank you for the excellent service!

Had a raccoon with 3 babies in attic. Called 1st and goal. They came out the next morning. They were very polite and professional. Raccoon and babies are no longer here, would highly recommend 1st and Goal Pest and Animal Control.

Dan and his crew got the job done. There was a large raccoon stuck in the attic for over a week. It wasn't going away. The raccoon was loud and i peaked my head in the attic. it was making a mess. I contacted a couple places and Dan who is the owner showed up. He explained to me what he was going to do and quoted a fair price. He was patient with me and answered all my questions. The next day he and another guy got to work. And the following day he came and removed the raccoon from the trap. He and his helper were efficient and effective. He obviously had done this many times before. I would hire him again in a minute.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.



NOTE: Member service professional information confirmed as described above may change or expire over time; while HomeAdvisor attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate. Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented is still current and/or acceptable to you.
