Sam is amazingly informative and really a professional at his job. He is very aware of cutting edge issues in extermination. We could not have been happier with our experience with him.
Description of Work: We were concerned about mice in our home and Sam set traps around our home, told us things we could do to minimize the recurrence of mice and was all around very informative and helpful. He was great, staying in touch with us over the course of several weeks to monitor and stay-abreast of the problem.

Mr. Creeger was very prompt, both in returning my initial inquiry call and showing up for the estimate. He was very knowledgeable and informative and we had him apply the first application on his initial visit. Based upon the size of the saw dust pile we agreed on his first visit that it would take at least two applications to eradicate the carpenter ants. We began to see results within one day. Mr. Creeger called us a couple of days after the first application to check on the status of the "bone pile" to see if it was starting to diminish (which it was). He then returned to apply a second application. The "bone pile" disappeared several days after the second application. Mr. Creeger was very professional, forthright, and dependable and we would highly recommend his services to anyone.
Description of Work: We had a carpenter ant infestation somewhere in the outer wall of our sunroom. We had a rather large pile of sawdust accumulating on our deck. After observing the path the ants were traveling to and from the nest, Mr. Creeger applied a special gel on the deck railing directly on their path. It was only a matter of minutes when the ants began feeding on this gel. He returned several days later to apply a second application.

Mr Creeger checked out the problem which turned out to be flying ants. He was wonderful with my mother-in-law and followed up with us. We will continue to use his services for our needs as well.

Sam answered the phone right away and came very quickly to analyze the problem and give us an estimate. He explained how to identify the bees and the ants and what other signs we might observe; this was very helpful because it allowed us to monitor the treatment's progress. He came a few days later for the first treatment. A week later, he discovered an additional carpenter ants' nest on the other side of the garage and administered another treatment. A week after the second treatment, he came and verified that the pests were gone. He is very professional and always punctual. He returns calls immediately (even if he's away for the weekend!) and requests payment only after all of the bugs are dead.
Description of Work: Extermination of carpenter bees on a first-floor porch and carpenter ants in a small one-car garage.

It went very well. The work was done perfectly, and I no longer have a problem with the neighbor's pigeons. There were some setbacks, but Mr. Creeger dealt with them efficiently and intelligently, and he did not charge me for the problems.
Description of Work: My neighbor had a lot of pigeons, and they were trying to nest on my air conditioner. Mr. Creeger created a guard that could let air through for ventilation and installed it. He also put pigeon deterrents under the eaves where they were trying to nest.

Mr. Creeger returned my call promptly, and although I stressed that this wasn't an emergency, he scheduled an appointment within a few days. He arrived exactly on time. He was professional, sensitive to my mouse phobia without being condescending, and gave well-considered advice. We settled on old-fashioned traps (which he showed me how to bait with chocolate chips!). Although we could have had him place rodenticide around the perimeter of our house, we decided that at this point, it's not warranted, especially since we have concerns about harming roaming cats and hawks. I've caught two mice in the month since he was here, and this is a miracle disposed of them myself and replaced the traps under the dishwasher. I'm not crazy about killing mice, but this is much more humane than my husband having to beat them with a broom (with my shrieks providing the soundtrack) or our cat toying with them. ECI's price was appropriate for the service provided.
Description of Work: Mr. Creeger walked around our house and also checked the basement to show us where the mice could be entering. He removed the metal plate from the bottom of the dishwasher and cleaned out mouse droppings from there and from under the range. (I provided papertowels and disinfectant spray.) He taught me how to bait and set mousetraps and showed me where to place them under the dishwasher and range, and he discussed the pros and cons of possible strategies for dealing with our occasional mouse problem. He was here for nearly two hours.

The next morning 4 dead mice were found under the sink and in the silverware drawer. So although my scream after opening up the drawer may have been heard for miles, we haven't had any more visits since.
Description of Work: We had mice visiting under our kitchen sink and in our silverware drawer. The very day we called, Sam came and set up traps throughout the kitchen and basement wherever mice droppings were found. He also disposed of 2 dead mice he found near the furnace. He also walked around the perimeter of the house looking for holes by which the mice might have come into the house initially.

Response from Eci Pest Control
USUALLY, ONE TREATMENT TAKES CARE OF THE PROBLEM. IN THIS CASE, HOWEVER, THE JOB WAS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT THE WASPS (ACTUALLY THEY WERE YELLOWJACKETS) WERE GETTING INTO THE HOME AND THE NEST WAS DEEP IN THE WALL OF THE HOME REQUIRING TWO TREATMENTS AND A POST-TREATMENT FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION. THIS CLIENT WAS VERY COOPERATIVE AND HELPFUL IN ALLOWING THE AFFECTED ROOM OF THE HOME TO BE CLOSED OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS UNTIL THE NEST WAS COMPLETELY ELIMINATED.

Samuel Creeger was methodical and meticulous. He set traps all around the house to detect the sources of the infestations and checked the traps regularly. After determining the likely sources, he sprayed them well with environmentally safe solutions. He really cared about exterminating all the moths and even gave advice about inexpensive ways to kill them. Our problem seems to be gone now. Mr. Creeger was the only one who really concentrated on solving the problem, not going through the motions.

Description of Work: I had a problem with mice. They came out the same day I called which was very important to me. He was very knowledgeable and he went over the whole house. He put down traps, gave tips on helping us get rid of the rodents, and he even gave us more tips on spiders which we also had a problem with.

Overall, we are very pleased with Mr Creeger's work. Prior to visiting our home I had a detailed phone call about the situation. Mr Creeger appears to have extensive expertise in pest extermination of this type. Options for me to exterminate the bees on my own were willingly provided. Because of the height of the work and my desire to not have to apply poison, I requested that ECI Pest Control perform the work. We quickly agreed on a date and time to perform the work. ECI came and performed the work as agreed. Dead bee bodies indicated that extermination was underway. Mr Creeger requested that I keep the holes open for a while so that bees that were not in their holes when the poison was initially applied could return and receive a lethal does of poison. I agreed to fill the holes after a couple of weeks passed (which I did). Next Spring will be the "proof" of the work. That's when Carpenter bees show up and start their drilling and nesting work.
Description of Work: Carpenter Bees invaded the cedar siding adjacent to the roof line of our home. Mr Creeger and a co-worker used a ladder to apply poison to about 15 or 16 holes that the bees had drilled.

I would definitely recommend ECI. Mr. Creeger was punctual and very thorough in his inspection. We were concerned about previous termite damage mentioned in our home inspection report and called ECI when the company the previous owners had used would not honor their transfer warranty to us as new owners. Sam found no evidence of new termite damage, but found old damage to a fence in our backyard that our home inspection did not find. He explained what he was looking for and also provided a written summary of the inspection with recommendations on how to keep our home pest free. We will definitely call on ECI if we are in need of pest control.

We had a very pleasant experience using this company. The owner is very courteous and pleasant. His price was comparable to other companies, but we liked that he was local and involved himself in taking care of the work. Obviously we can not say if the treatment has worked, but because of the warranty we are sure we have solved our problem.

We are very pleased with Samuel's work. He took the time to look all over the house for areas that spiders and/or mice may enter our home. He gave excellent tips for preventing further spider and other bug issues. Also, he set up the appropriate traps for mice. His price was very fair and he did not do any unnecessary work. My husband was very pleased.

Excellent overall experience. Mr. Creeger was knowledgeable, thorough and effective. He was courteous at all times; he explained what he was planning to do and why. The actual process involved his spraying the nests at night, when yellow jackets are less active, and then returning the next day to dig out the nests. We have had no sign of the yellow jackets, since he was here. Although not inexpensive, I think his thoroughness and professionalism justify the costs.

Extremely pleased. Mr. Kreeger is professional, knowledgeable and provides a great service and a fair price. I would not consider using anyone else.
Description of Work: I have had multiple problems with rats and mice over the years. Mr. Kreeger comes out every time on an emergency basis regardless of the hour. He never charges an emergency fee. We had a rat that was very hard to catch. It took weeks and multiple visits by Mr. Kreeger. He only charges for what he catches. He also did a pest inspection on a home I was purchasing and found problems which saved me a lot of money.

Response from Eci Pest Control
USUALLY, WE ARE ABLE TO CAPTURE A RAT IN A DAY OR TWO USING SNAP TRAPS. HOWEVER, ON THE FIRST DAY, THE RAT IN QUESTION WAS CAUGHT BY IT'S TAIL AND ESCAPED, LEAVING HALF OF IT'S TAIL IN THE TRAP! AFTER HAVING A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A TRAP, RATS ARE KNOWN TO AVOID TRAPS IN THE FUTURE. SO WE SET TRAPS WITH AN EXPANDED TRIGGER WITHOUT BAIT IN THE LIKELY PATH OF THE RAT. THE TRAP WOULD SET OFF WHEN THE RAT WOULD WALK OVER IT. THE RAT WAS CAPTURED IN 5 DAYS. ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND HOW THE CLIENT COULD FEEL THAT IT "TOOK WEEKS". WE KNEW IT WAS THE RAT IN QUESTION BECAUSE IT HAD ONLY HALF OF A TAIL!

Sam was very polite, friendly, and thorough. He is very patient with changing schedule issues.
Description of Work: Sam came to our house because we thought we had squirrels and/or birds in our attic. He believed it was just birds but set up traps just in case there were squirrels. He also made good recommendations to cover up the vent where the birds were coming in and replacing pieces of insulation. We just had birds.
