Very thorough inspection, and gave us very good information on things to remediate even without getting treatment. They explained all their products, and I liked the fact they don't just pump chemicals under/into your house. They also recommended a contractor to do some repair work. Very helpful.

We've had a couple different guys come over the past year from Eco Care. They are always on time, friendly, happy, and helpful. They always do extras that aren't supposed to be included--like adding the detached garage to our plan. The service has been the best of any contractor I've used, and I've used a lot over the past few years on 3 different homes. The results have been amazing. We moved into this house last year and it had mice, snakes, and tons of bugs, including ants all over. Their first visit took care of the ants, bugs, and a mouse. They came back after I called about another mouse and about some spiders on two different days. They came the same day and took care of them. Since then, we've had no bugs, mice, ants, or snakes, until a couple last week with the warm weather. They came today, and were very thorough.
Description of Work: I have the home shield annual plan with Eco Care and they came out today for the regular service. They sprayed the outside, garage, and some on the inside.

They are very responsive and much cheaper than anyone in the area. They follow through on their work and make sure all the ants are gone. Occasionally they do come inside the house to spray it but most of the time its out side the house that needs most of the spraying.
Description of Work: I have a yearly contract with them. I used to have a problem with ants and they took care of that.

He arrived early, he searched our attic and house perimeter very thoroughly, recommended some minor house repairs (where mice might be entering) and submitted a written proposal. I accepted, he scheduled the work for two days later. He arrived early again, spent at least an hour setting the bait traps, showed me how they were pet and child resistant and, showed me where he had put them. I heard some mice a few days later but nothing since then (he said it would take 2 weeks). Excellent service. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Determined we had mice in our attic and put down bait traps.

We had a big problem with odorous ants in the home we just bought. We also had lots of other bugs. When we saw a snake in our basement, we tried to find someone to take care of it, but couldn't find anyone and had to do it ourselves. So, when I was finding someone to fix the ant/bug problem, I was happy to see snakes on their list--none of the other companies included snakes. I got quotes from two other pest control companies whose prices were just over $700 and just under $400. I chose Eco-care even though they were a little more expensive than the cheapest company because they had a more inclusive list and their products seemed more kid friendly--I have a 3 yr old, a 2 yr old, and a newborn. They also had great reviews. I called and said we had ants. She asked a few questions and quickly identified them as odorous ants--when you kill one it smells like coconuts. Ants require multiple treatments, so they recommended their annual plan. They also have a one-time plan and a termite plan. They included the garage even though it was detached and should have cost more. Erich came on time. I liked that he was experienced and knowledgeable--an entomologist. They had told me when I made the appointment to have the kids gone for an hour after they put the bug stuff on. Erich was polite and explained things. It is nice to see all the dead bugs, and no ants. Because of the snake problem, Erich put sticky traps in the basement for snakes/rodents. Sure enough, the next day we had a mouse on our trap! I like that if I see bugs/snakes/rodents anytime this year, they will come take care of it.
Description of Work: They did the initial spraying/application for their home service contract, and will come back 2 regular times over the year as well as any "emergency" times. Their service covers all the normal bugs, plus rodents and snakes.

They were slightly more expensive than the well-known national chains, but you really get what you pay for. We had a relentless infestation of "sugar ants." I don't know what the formal name is. No matter what I did, what I sprayed, or how much I cleaned, they would not go away. They were even in the upstairs bathrooms. It went great- Eco-Care really knows their stuff. They showed up on time on 6/16/08 as agreed upon. He took me around the house and showed examples of various colonies, what the threat was, and steps taken to control it. He then sprayed inside, advising to keep pets and children out of the treated areas for an hour, then sprayed outside with a more potent chemical. That evening, no more ants. I've counted maybe 5 or 6 random ants in the time since they've treated (it is 7/10/08 that I wrote this).
Description of Work: Initial treatment for insects, ants, and spiders. They treated inside the house, and outside on the foundation. They will be returning to treat only the outside foundation once per year, with a yearly charge.

They are definitely an A. They were professional and they explained everything. They let us know what to do if we needed additional help. But they let us know that they thought they fixed the problem and we haven't had anymore issues.
Description of Work: They put down baited traps; they came back and monitored the traps multiple times and put down fresh bait as needed. They let us know at the end of a few weeks period that they had gotten rid of the rat.

I called Eco Care because I saw bees going into the eaves on our house. My wife also heard noises from within two walls on our 2nd floor. I called for an estimate and to ask if they had an annual plan. They asked plenty of questions and explained their annual service and process well. I decided to go for the annual service. When the tech arrived at the house, he was extremely helpful and took time to listen to what our concerns were. He was very thorough and explained what he was doing every step of the way and why he was doing it. Very courteous, prompt, and respectful.
Description of Work: Eco Care sprayed the entire house - the foundation, around the windows, the eaves, and nearby tree trunks. This is part of an annual service where Eco Care comes out each season except winter.

We got estimates from 3 companies 2 of which used the same system. Eco-Care had by far the lowest price. The technician was very professional. The person I spoke with on the phone was equally professional. I was concerned that the price difference $3,000 compared with $700 might be an indicator of inferior service. When I asked questions I felt assured that the service would be the same, just less expensive.

They didn't service my area, but were so friendly and helpful that I felt I should submit a report. Instead of just telling me no, and that I lived too far away, they listened to my concerns and what I was looking for, and then recommended someone who uses the same system in my area. Hooray for great customer service!

They quickly returned my call and spent quite a bit of time explaining how things work, including the toxicity of the chemicals. Once I called to have them come out, they came out quickly. They did the normal pest management work as well as spraying for carpenter ants in the garage and around the tree where we believed the main colony was located. After we killed all the carpenter ants in the garage with an over-the-counter pest control product we did not see any more of them. I m sure whatever they sprayed for the carpenter ants works well, but I can t really do a before and after comparison on that. As for the other bugs, what bugs? We used to have an occasional ant in the kitchen. We definitely had centipedes in the basement and on the second floor. I ve killed a few earwigs too. Since their treatment, I have not seen any insects in the house. Last year we had a cricket issue in the garage and we don t have that problem this year. I highly recommend this company.

One man came to analyze the problem and give an estimate. He explained that our ant problem would probably require several visits to spray. Another man came to spray the kitchen areas that were affected. He followed the trail to see where the ants were coming from, and he looked at the outside of the house too. He told me a colony could well be in my wall. It took several treatments over a few months, but then the ants were gone. The cricket problem was resolved in one spraying of my basement. The men were polite and punctual, and the person who answers the phone at their office was also pleasant and helpful.
Description of Work: We had a persistent ant problem in the kitchen area, and we were also concerned that crickets were coming back into our basement. (We had a problem with that five years ago.) They explained the source of the problem, looked at the inside and outside of our house, and came spray several times. They were very pleasant people and seemed knowledgeable about these kind of problems. They also use safer chemicals for exterminating than some other companies.

Insects are currently dead or dying.
Description of Work: Spoke at length with Eric, one of the co-owners, who counseled me on what I'd already done to kill a yellow jacket colony near my home. Where he could have just taken the job ($$$), he determined that I was on the right track (many of the insects were now dead or dying due to my own personal extermination efforts) and recommended that I allow more time for the colony to dissipate. I found this approach refreshing. He actually seemed to care more about the end result (ridding my house of the yellow jackets, then scoring the contract). Because of Eric's professional approach to my problem, I'll call Eco-care and/refer business to them in the future. The fact that I spoke with live people instead of a recording brought a quick resolution to the problem. Good job ECO-CARE PEST MANAGEMENT!!

The phone receptionist was very helpful, and the men who came were prompt, polite, and knowledgeable. I liked that they use the safest methods possible for pets and children. The treatment has been very effective. We purchased an annual plan for the ants, which are resistant to do-it-yourself traps.
Description of Work: The problem was to get rid of ants in kitchen area, crickets in basement. Eco-care visited to see the situation and give an estimate. They returned another day to treat the affected areas inside as well as the periphery of the house outside.
