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.
Description of Work: I was referred to Econo-Bug from a friend, who has had service with them for years. They inspected my home and continue to do quarterly pest control services.

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.
Description of Work: I have signed up for an annual contract. They have been here 3 times and have replaced the vinyl under my house and put in drainage pipes. They do any kind of pest extermination and take care of water problems and drainage problems under the house and put down vinyl if its needed. My had gotten skewed around over the years. They come by every 3 months.

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!

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.
Description of Work: We had purchased a big deal for Econ-O Bug. They had done pest control, and the big deal had two features. I then subscribed to a year long service. They first did pest control and extermination.

[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

I quickly signed up and paid for the special that was featured on Angie's Deals . After repeated tries, nothing was heard from this company . I finally decided to get a refund which Angie's list holds for a week + . why ? No service or econ- couldn't even be bothered to answer their own deal ? this company was rated high and that is why I signed up but it wasn't even worth the aggravation to get a refund. Shame on angieslsit for even posting this deal. no deal at all.

As far as I know the treatment was good. Spider webs were not removed from the exterior as indicated, but my home was larger than they expected and did not get charged more so I guess it was fair.

I became an Econ-O-Bug customer 6 years ago after I purchased a home, and transferred the bond from the former owners. During the yearly inspection, they let me know there was some moisture under the house. What they neglected to tell me was that this negated the contract. So, after paying them for 6 years- when I got swarmers- they told me that because I had moisture under my home- I had to pay for re-treatment, and the moisture had made the contract null and void. Then WHY did you take my money for six years??!!! During the process of trying to work this issue out, they were unprofessional, demonstrated poor communication and I had to continually remind them of what was going on and the issues that needed to be addressed. Dealing with Econ-O Bug became so frustrating, I finally switched companies, and went with Orkin, even though it was going to cost me another $1,000 to start with a new company. I did not have faith that Econ-O Bug was going to do the job correctly. Econ-O Bug may have a lower price- but do yourself a favor and go with a bigger company- a larger company will be professional, and when there is a problem- they will just take care of it instead charging you more and giving you the run around.
Description of Work: Had termite bond for 6 years. Yearly payments of 175.
