Description of Work: I received my first quarterly treatment in March 2015 which was my 3rd interaction with Econo-o-Bug. The first visit was in December 2014. I advised the tech that I was having a party in 2 weeks. He advised if I was still seeing the German roaches that had infiltrated my home, to call back and he would return again BEFORE my party at no charge. And he did. |I was very satisfied with the service and product.

Everything about my experience with the company was great from the time I called to make the appointment to the time the technician came and went. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful.
Description of Work: sprayed for bugs in the house and mostly on the outside of the house. I also mentioned a slight ant problem in the kitchen and the technician gave me 2 ant repellent/traps for free.

They don’t require me to be there, so that’s good. They come and do the outside. They just come on the day they tell me that they are coming. I think that their pricing is reasonable. The good thing is that they have the same technician come out to my house each time they carry out work. I haven’t had to call them on an emergency basis. When I asked them to start, it didn’t seem to take a long time. I have had no problems with their quality of work. We have known them all this time.
Description of Work: I used the services of Econ-O-Bug Pest Control for pest control. I have a contract for termites and another one for regular pest control.

It is fine. We have used them for a long time. They come out every three months. They spray put inside usually. They put things under the sink like little bug catcher kind of things. They put them behind the furniture and those sort of things. We have had very few of anything really except for the occasional spider web here and there. I think they do a pretty good job. They were the cheapest when I went looking. I would recommend them to anyone. The guy that comes to our house is very kind. He is very polite.

We just changed over from another vendor that we felt hadn't been doing a good job for us. After doing our research, we chose Econobug based on the fact that they were local and are very competitively priced. They actually answer their phone, which is a rarity these days and you talk to a real person who lives in the same area and can give you immediate answers and can make an appointment, instead of going through a voice mail or talking to someone from another state who has to dispatch your call. Technician's name was Jason and he was very knowledgeable and professional. Also got a free termite inspection scheduled at the same time. Although we declined the preventative termite service, the technician (Jeanie) thoroughly explained their program and was very knowledgable and helpful. Overall, far and away better than the "national brand name" company we had been using for the past four years.
Description of Work: Initial visit for quarterly pest control service and termite inspection. We paid annually in advance to get a better discount.
