Nelson Alvarez did an excellent job. He is careful about masking (covid), and is professional, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Lowes and Home Depot didn't have ready-made mailbox posts, so he built one - it's nicely crafted - at no extra cost, and he remounted the metal mail box and the house numbers and installed the post in concrete. I put the original short fence up, and Nelson rebuilt it as it should have been done. The two walls inside my house were repaired, painted, and look like new. Nelson Alvarez is good, honest man. We will call him again for sure! .

We have been seeing a lot of spiders and millipedes around and in the house, we called Economy to get rid of them. The exterminator came and treated outside and inside the house. We have seen a big improvement. The cost was $100 for the first treatment and $44 a month thereafter

They did a great job. When I purchased my home last year I could look out the mudroom window and watch mice happily bounding between the house and an outbuilding. There were only nuisance bugs inside the house, so most treatment was outside. Any time I was going to be home on a workday I would ask to be put on the schedule for that day so mouse traps in the attic could be checked and updated spray provided inside. They removed both spider webs and wasp nests outside. Both mice and other pests were eradicated. Of course, flying critters always fly back and spiders are forever, but under control. :) The fellows I met were very personable and mannerly, they removed or covered shoes on entry. Price displayed is bi-monthly regular service charge for outside spray. Mouse control is a separate charge. Thank you.

Price was for initial spray barrier for interior and exterior of home as well as spider webs and wasp nests cleanup. The sales person stated that the initial spray would be detailed “creating a barrier” for the home. The barrier was for on all the baseboards, around windows & doors, attic, and crawl space. The exterminator who did that actually spraying, I felt did not do was the sales person stated would be done. In fact, the exterminator tells me the sales person misrepresented how the sprays were done. The exterminator did a “spot” spray around the house and talked about how he hated spiders and wasps. When it came to cleaning the webs and nests, I specifically requested the window areas to be cleaned and the exterminator said that’s not something they do. Also, he didn’t even bother getting a ladder to reach the roof edges where wasp nest and spider webs were a problem. What’s the point of paying somebody to do a job if they can’t do the job as expected, which is suppose to be better than the homeowner. I could have purchased a few bottles of bug spray and a broom to do the same thing the exterminator did. No happy with the service.

Basically, spraying around the house. The cost is $40 a month. I like the effectiveness. Basically, there were one or two instances where we canceled service when we were selling the house and they didn't terminate the contract. I think they're a good company, I just had one bad incident.

Excellent. The customer service has been great and the technicians have been very competent and professional. I needed extra service for a slight increase of those 747 roaches in between scheduled service and they responded quickly at no additional cost ( part of contract). Very pleased with overall service and worth the fair price. I gave them a "B" for price but in truth the competitive price is worth it considering the high quality of overall service.
Description of Work: I was concerned that I had termites and left a message over Memorial Day. They got back to me first thing in the morning and arranged for an immediate appointment. After a thorough inspection I was glad to learn that it was easily treatable flying ants. Further discussed ongoing service for mice control and insects. Ordered online special for first service call and then bi-monthly service.

That was fine. It was really sort of hard to comment on because it was just a basic thing. It was 2 fellows, as I recall, that came. One worked inside and one worked out. They seemed to do a good job. I don't really recall anything other than they did an acceptable job. There was nothing unusually good or unusually bad about them. They were good. They were prompt, they did there job and it was fine. I didn't remember anything exceptional but it was a good job. On price there was some type of special. On responsiveness & punctuality, they were prompt. To my knowledge they were good on professionalism.
Description of Work: One was in and one worked out with foundation sprays and underneath the house for pest and one guy sprayed the interior of the house on the baseboard throughout the house.

Technician came out and located the source (exit holes in my drywall behind a book case). He sprayed inside the hole that day and returned later to treat basement, crawl space and garage floors and outside house. Weather did not permit them to finish the same day so they scheduled another appointment a week out, but the very next day they had a cancellation, called me, and we got the job done. As we had had a contract with them in the recent past, he treated this trip as a renewal and saved me a little money. All workers were very professional, polite and thorough.

In a comparison, we find Economy Exterminators to be highly competitive. The representatives starting at the telephone unit, to the supervisor to the men in the field are professional, helpful and willing to provide education and additional visits if necessary. Coming from a location where indoor and outdoor pests are not as much of an issue, we needed information and options. Economy gave us both and at a price that did not seem like gouging.

The job went well. They arrived on time and quickly sprayed while searching out locations where the ants can hide. This treatment was in response to an Angies List offer. And the treatment worked. Not a single ant in the house since. Will certainly call them again soon to prevent the ant infestations that plagued us in years past!
