Greathouse Pest Control Services LLC

Everything was fine and a good job was done.

In the spring I usually see a couple of box elder bugs inside my home. This year I was killing at least 10 of them a day throughout my house. I found Greathouse Pest Control Services on Angie's List and Doug returned my call within 24 hours. It was very easy to schedule an appointment with him. He arrived promptly and went through the house spraying along baseboards, windows, doorways, etc. He sprayed on all 3 levels of my home and outside as well. I saw results within 12 hours and within a couple of days the house was bug free. for a few weeks following the application I would see a dead bug in the basement area. I was very pleased that on the receipt provided Doug indicates he would return within a 6 month period if I felt additional services were needed.

Doug was fantastic. Professional and very thorough. Carefully inspected my entire house, including the crawl, and closed up all places where mice could make their way into the house. Laid poison in unobtrusive places, treated outside of the house for box elders and sprayed for ants for good measure. Overall experience couldn't have been better. Returned calls promptly, wore shoes protectors, was a very nice guy and the price was extremely fair. After using a ton of different services while getting the house ready to sell, Doug was by far the best (and restored my faith in independent businessmen). I HIGHLY recommend using him for any pest control needs.

great thorough work, considerate of pets

Every thing was great. Within twenty-four hours, Doug was over spraying and taking care of the problem. He assures me the little critters are gone, but to call him should there be a problem. the price was extremely reasonable. Will def use again if needed. Thanks so much.

Selected Greathouse Pest Control Services in Wheaton. Called first thing in the morning and spoke with Doug Hamel, founder/owner/operator of Greathouse. He described what he’d do and what the cost would be. He was able to come out that afternoon, was on time, friendly, professional and careful not to track-in dirt, etc…and he answered all of my questions, of which there were more than a few. Most of all, Doug went about his business, inspected the house and sprayed the affected areas including baseboards and above the ceiling tiles, as well as the outside of the house and garage. He was here about an hour and three quarters and appeared to do a very thorough job. After 25+ years in the business, Doug has “seen it all” and I was totally confident that the ants had met their match. Plus, if they should reappear, Doug will come out again and retreat the areas at no charge. And, unlike some other pest control companies which try immediately to sell you on a longer term contract, Doug was totally focused on addressing my immediate concern. I was very pleased with Greathouse’s treatment of my ant problem, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Doug was very friendly when inquiring about his services and flexible with times that he could come look at our issue. His pricing was lower than other exterminators I called and his guarantee was 3 months longer. For our appointment, he arrived on time and was very knowledgeable about the ants and pests in general. Luckily, he reassured us that we did NOT have carpenters ants but sprayed around the house and inside our doorways & basement. He said that we should watch closely for ants for the next 7 days because they will try to enter the house to escape the repellent. He offered to come back if after that time frame, they still were coming in. Needless to say, he did the trick and we have not had any ants since!

Always on time and very detailed work

Several months later and still no ants! We also appreciated the discretion by not having a company logo on the truck. Thanks again Greathouse.

Doug was able to come over very soon after we called. He took down any visible wasp nests and then sprayed around the house as well as the basement and garage. He was very nice and didn't require any sort of contract to be signed for any future treatments. He just said the work was guaranteed for 6 months and if we noticed anything in that time to call and he would treat it again, no additional cost.

We live in an area where there are a lot of trees and plants, thus a great location for bugs and critters. Doug is a very knowledgeable guy. He knows more about insects and rodents, their habits and what works to control them, than anyone around.

You could engage a large, national chain for your pest control, but you're paying for marketing, not knowledge.

I would recommend Doug Hamel exclusively, and I have to many friends.

Very satisfied.  Doug treated the ant and wasp infestation areas and then provided a perimeter treatment around the entire house and eaves.
