I was having a grain problem. They come in and put a Grainger on the house and put a sump pump in.

The service technician (Darrel?) and their termite inspector (Jason) have both been incredible. Jason was very good at explaining what he found (no termites!) and didn't pressure me to buy anything. He did take pictures under my house of a large root system that had grown through the side wall and offered a very reasonable estimate to have them repair. I explained I would have to wait for a couple of months and he was very helpful. I appreciate how thorough he was, and am committed to do business with them just because he acted so professionally and with integrity.
Darrell inspected indoors and outdoors for pests and gave me a list of landscaping items I could do to create a barrier between m house and the trees/plans. I was very pleased. We did what he suggested and have had no problems since!
I will be having the more extensive work done next month. They continue to service me quarterly for pest control and do a wonderful job.

Very friendly; generous, i.e., provided service to a second small building at no additional cost. The treatment worked well; we were very pleased and set up an ongoing service agreement. Contacts and visits have been on time and professional. Would recommend this provider to anyone.

The overall experience was great. The woman who scheduled my appointment when I called was friendly and helpful. The technician came out at the exact time he was scheduled. I wasn't at home during the service but me husband was. The technician seemed very thorough and we happily signed a one year service contract. So far so good.

I'm happy with them. I would recommend them.
I think the price is competitive with other companies in the area.
They've kept their appointments promptly.

Great! Jason is prompt, professional and friendly (and is great with our dogs!). Considering we live on the lake, we have been very pleased with the lack of bugs - meaning what he is doing is definitely working! I would highly recommend Jason and Econo-bug to everyone!

I am a new home buyer. I had a free termite inspection done on the house I was looking at buying. Chris found termite damage in three area's and two of them had active termites. I now know a lot more about termites and what to look for.

The big deal worked out very well, in fact they are doing some extra work for me under my house. I had purchased two big deals. I thought the price was reasonable. They were here, but they had to leave because it started raining.

Less than a month later, I notice that spiders were still a major problem. I called the company and was told that since I used an Angie's list big deal that my spray was not warrantied. I feel that the service I received was not great and I would not recommend them to friends or family.
Response from Econ-O Bug
"[removed member name], We apologize for any misunderstanding that may have occurred. We do our services consistently at each home, the results however may not be the same. The homes we treat on a one time basis are not given a guarantee unless an additional fee is paid. Some homeowners find they need a service agreement once the home has been treated, because we actually stir up insects that may have been hiding fairly well. We hope this helps to explain our part of this situation. Thank you, Kathy Crocker Office Mgr. Econ-O-Bug Pest Control"
