We have a contract with this company to prevent critters from burrowing into our foundation n for indoor bug n mice control. Things were going good as in results (takes a month+ to see this) until 1of their employees did something that made me realize a few things. We all know that most paychecks dont coincide with our living expenses n the continued increase in costs of everything, so now companies have come up with tipping requests. I do understand that we are to tip hairdressers, food servers n more but now we are adding in home service people. Should we tip mailman or UPS deliveries every time packages/mail get delivered? Im sure they would like that too. With service people who fumigate or landscape a sizable property, do we follow their behinds n see if they do their job as per our request in order to gratify them with a commensurate tip? Ridiculous! So he had me sign (scribble) on his phone to acknowledge his presence n then the phone text came to rate him n an option to tip his good work. So how will we know if he did his job after he got my signature or did his job per our contract? If we don't tip, will he know n come back next month and not do his job as well as he should? Yes...trust is indeed the word. This sort of tipping seems to want to become the norm as we start to oblige companies to do this. Should we oblige knowing that companies might then continue to pay lower wages to legitimately hardworking people? What happened to caring for employees, which also indirectly helps instill pride in their service? Blame this on Covid too? Ugh! read more

This is the WORST company to do business with. They use unethical business practices and will lie to your face and try and scam you. Try to make it impossible to cancel, then try to invoice you for work they didn't complete. Do not fall for their bullying tactics. There are way better companies out there, DO NOT use Ecoshield. read more

The service is fine, whatever. It's really expensive considering the availability of at home DIY pest control solutions now. BEWARE OF THE CONTRACT AND THE WAY THEY OPERATE. The contract is initially for a year, and there's some sloppy language about auto renewals after 1 year. But in Illinois, written auto renewal notices are required to be provided to consumers prior to renewal. I didn't receive this, but I did email them 90 days before my renewal service to cancel because I had lost my job and couldn't afford it. They wanted to speak on the phone (canned text). Now it's June and the renewal service was still scheduled. I had NUMEROUS contacts over text and email reminding them of my notice of cancellation. They sent me SEVERAL emails and texts saying that we needed to speak on the phone. Nowhere in the contract does it say a phone call is mandatory to cancel. I kept telling them it had nothing to do with the service, and that I had lost my job. "We do need to speak to you." I finally, FINALLY got a notice of closure after 24 hours of unnecessary back and forth. I would not have written a review about my experience with EcoShield. I never had any issues, but I also didn't have a bug problem - I hired them for prevention. But now that they were so blatantly disrespectful, coercive, and ignorant of my situation and intent to cancel, CONGRATULATIONS: you earned a review. read more

Soliciting scam. Stop by the house shortly after closing/moving to state they service the neighbors &/or were previously serving last homeowners- to inquire to keep it going. They try to make it an easy yes as possible, then sign some paperwork & you're locked in for a year. Takes about 10minutes to walk your property- who knows if it's effective. When I inquired about servicing the INSIDE of my home (since no one had)- they sent a salesman to canvas for sealing from mice/rodents. Tried to sell me on that, I declined. Still no one ever came to service indoors. We cancelled shortly thereafter. Waste of money for 10minute walk on the property monthly. Incredibly Deceptive. read more

I discussed my concerns with ECOSHIELD management. ECOSHIELD took my complaint seriously. ECOSHIELD resolved my complaint to my complete satisfaction. I would definitely use them again. read more

As many have indicated on here, EcoShield "IS A SCAM." The service doesn't work, and by the time you realize it you're already locked into an agreement that isn't apparent when the door to door sales person comes around. We were having some pest issues and they were servicing a neighbors house so they caught me at the same time. I was ready to get some service but I told the guy I didn't want a contract just service. He agreed and said the paperwork is just a formality and that I could cancel any time with no fees. Well that was a lie. Any time meant "within a couple of days!" Well before you realize the service itself was crap. They agreed to switch my service from Quarterly to Monthly so I could finish sooner and get out of their service. I marked my calendar for that date. When it came, they said I still had to pay a cancelation fee. Avoid this company by all means!! read more

RUN from this company. Poor management, horrible service, feels like a bunch of scammers.

If I could leave a zero star review I would. This so called service they provide did absolutely nothing, my pest issue actually got worse rather than better. I had a better result for pest control sprays I could get for the store. read more

An employee came to my mother's home at 6:55pm on 6/3/25. He asked for the home owner to which he was currently speaking to. She proceeded to politely turn him down to which he called her a "fucking cunt" I have called and multiple times to which your "customer care team" keeps giving me the run around when wanting to speak with someone at your local office in the 60016 zipcode. I have emailed and no one has gotten back to me. Your professionalism and customer service is severally lacking and it shows.

Beware, and stay well away from them. Very shady door to door practices. "Jake" came by my house and said he was servicing most of our neighbors the next day for $150 each; We'd just seen a rat so I agreed to let him do our yard. I explicitly had him confirm that it was a one-time deal, not a repeating service. As he was leaving he flashed me an iPad saying "sign this so I can come and service the property if you're not home" then 6 weeks later I find out he'd actually slipped me the signature section of a long-term service contract. Next, despite (I have doorcam recordings of this) him reading-back my correct contact details, he set my "account" up with a fake phone number and fake email - presumably to make sure I never got sent a copy of the "agreement" and an opportunity to have it voided. Note: Ecoshield is being sued in multiple states for deceptive door to door practices, and I'm not surprised. Pure slime. Update 1: ten days and multiple calls later, Ecoshield finally closed my "account". It's possible this was just one rogue sales guy - but there are many similar reviews out there so it's hard to say. Be careful. Also - the "treatment" is garbage. Spiders galore less than a week later. Save yourself the headache (and the money) - just go to Home Depot and do it yourself; The most sophisticated part of ES's operation is the sales-scam... the treatment is basic and low-effort. You can do it better. read more

EcoShield Pest Solutions - "Jake" - Pest Control Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

I've been a long time customer, but the sales people kept coming to my door, trying to get me to sign up. Somehow, I finally put it together that they have been doing the work on my neighbors house and not my house even though they had the correct address, I'm not sure how long this has been going on I suspect a year or more. The real frustrating part is that they admitted to this and they kept saying they would research and call me back tomorrow and then they never would. Total blow off. BEWARE because they don't know what they're doing and they won't take the minimal steps to make it right. read more

WARNING: This company is NOT USA-based. Most of their customer service and management operate overseas in the Philippines and Thailand. This company is an absolute scam -- do not do business with them. I signed a contract for roughly $830, which was presented to me as an exclusion treatment around the perimeter of my property to prevent mice from entering. At no point did my representative mention any quarterly charges. I was shocked to later discover recurring $165 quarterly fees that were never disclosed. After months of back-and-forth communication, I was finally able to cancel the contract -- yet they continue to try billing me $165. It's important to note that their service did not solve the issue I originally hired them for. I ultimately had to handle the problem myself, which completely resolved it. I've always left positive reviews for companies I work with, but this experience was the complete opposite. This company is deceptive, unprofessional, and extremely rude when confronted about their misleading practices. They are not USA-based, they trick you with confusing contracts, and they should be avoided at all costs. read more

They go door to door selling you a service that does not work. After 1 year of service, we still have ants. We asked to cancel, which they confirmed via email. They also refunded it as they came after we cancelled. 3 months later, someone from ecoshield showed up dusted the snow off our house and billed us or service they did not provide. All captured on our cameras. Person literally went around the house with a broom and dusted the snow off around the gutters. We contacted them and again stated they made a mistake, but this time they denied the refund because they had no confirmation of the cancellation, even though we had email confirmation from Connor Joseph - customer service rep. This is a scam, DO NOT fall for their scheme. They will continue to send someone to walk around the house for 10min and charge you couple hundred dollars each time. Do a chargeback with your credit card company. Look at all of the complaints filed on BBB (better business bureau) read more

I'm sure one more bad review doesn't bother this company. The service provided is terrible! They say they have a "satisfaction guarantee", however, when asked to return to take care of an infestation of several bugs, they said their products do not handle my particular bugs. I cancelled my service and was charged the $250 early termination fee. They will not let you speak to a manager or supervisor or even the local office. I do believe the business is located out of the country because many of the people I talked to I could not understand. I wish I had read everyone else's reviews before I signed on with this worthless company. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! read more

I called to get a wasp nest removed from my tree. They came out and said that I would need more than one treatment to get permanent results. The first treatment, spraying insecticide and knocking down the nest, didn't solve the problem. I called them back and they said it was too late to move up the scheduled treatment, so they came as scheduled. This seemed to resolve the problem. Today -- December 12 -- I received a notice of an upcoming service. Needless to say that isn't needed, but when I called I was told I would need to pay a $250 cancellation fee. I strongly advise you to avoid this firm. An attorney is putting together a class action lawsuit as this seems to be their regular business practice. Search online if you're interested. read more

Preys on older people lies to them takes their SS money by decite. Told my mother that she could pre pay for services then told her she had a contract and could cancel within 30 days when she called to cancel. They told her 3 days not 30. Kept taking her funds even though they never came out. What a scam. Now they are sending threatening letters. Ecoshield is nothing but a scamming company. DO NOT USE THEM AT ALL. read more

Ask questions. Do your research. 2 yr contract with early termination fee. They were going door to door and we just started having issues with bees. The guys who came out and put the poison were great, friendly, knowledgeable. I don't recommend them for bee and nest removal. $179 initial fee and $179 twice a year for upkeep. Unless you to keep the bees as pets. When it comes to bees go another route with a one and done company with a guarantee. read more

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM HERE IS HOW THEY SCAM YOU: THEY SHOW UP OFFERING SERVICES FOR BUGS AND ANTS. THEY SAY ITS QUARTERLY AND ALL IS GOOD, WRONG. 1 Month AFTER YOUR FIRST SERVICE THEY WILL SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT THAT THEY DONT TELL YOU ABOUT AND ITS $180 oh and it's a necessary service you can't delay so they pressure you into it. Even though they never told us about it. Then the services are $170 per quarter. But since they lied we wanted to cancel!! Hidden $350 cancellation fee. They will lie and hide behind contracts. Their employees will smile and lie straight to your face. If you don't pay they send you to collections. This business is a complete scam. Never ever use this company. read more

Unfortunately we were one of the many people that were scammed. Not only did we pay $150 for a service that never happened, we were signed up for a contract that we never agreed to and were never told about. We will be disputing with the class action lawsuit! This is so unprofessional and sad that they prey on hard working families that just try to support other small businesses. Completely disgusting!! read more

Huge waste of money. The service does nothing and they lock you into a year contract. Save your money.

Absolutely horrible. After 2 years - no pest solutions. Customer service is atrocious. Total scam of a company! read more

Whatever was done each month did nothing. Waste of money and the door to door is total bs.

I was a customer of Echo Shields Pest Solutions for years, and I can honestly say the service has been consistently terrible. On multiple occasions, I caught their employees on my home security cameras doing almost nothing -- sometimes just walking around the house once or sprinkling a little product in one spot before leaving. This went on while I was paying thousands of dollars, thinking my home was actually being serviced. One of the worst incidents was when an employee urinated in my backyard while my young children were home and looking out the window. I reported it, was promised a different technician, but the same dishonest behavior eventually returned. The lack of professionalism, poor service, and dishonest practices are unacceptable. I would strongly caution anyone considering this company. read more

Poor service rendered and they have a survey that was done right after the service and despite the feedback, there was absolutely no response from the company. The worst thing was when I saw the invoice, it was different from what was promised by the sales person. On questioning the charge, they started back pedaling and asking for proof and investigating the issue. I decided to cancel the service and at this point, they slapped me with an additional cancelation charge, which was also very different from what the sales person mentioned. This is a very shady company with very deceitful practices. I recommend you to stay away from them if you haven't already signed up. read more

These guys are simply crooks. We've had other pest services in the past. They were also not very helpful in managing pests, mice in particular. That being said, at least the other providers allowed us to cancel our services with them. We just had someone show up today, about a year after cancelling our services. Apparently he walked the property and caulked a gap around a spigot. For this honor we were charged $200 and told we never cancelled our service. Also, we opened the email that said they were coming and we should have reached out prior to them stopping out. Forget about it being the holiday season and the fact life is busy. It's totally our fault. I asked the guy from the local office for his email so I could send him an email that I was going to walk around the outside of his property for $200 but he wouldn't provide it. If you're interested in a pest service where the primary solution to your pest issues are to add on a bunch of services that are not covered in your actual service contract and you'd like to never cancel, this would be the place for you. If not, I'd start with another company. read more

Services not as described DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are a scam company. Salesman describes it as a 'premium' solution. But the tech comes through and leaves globs of repellent everywhere he sprayed, no attention to detail, didn't do all the assigned work. Terrible. read more

Alejandro did a great job with our service on 1/20/26. He was very polite and professional. Despite the frigid temperatures, he wanted to make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction! Great work. Thank you! read more

Just an update here - although the comment responses claim that they take feedback seriously, this person who requests emails ultimately just regurgitates the same argument as those in the call centers - that you "agreed to the terms and conditions" and there is nothing they can do about refunding past failed services or their cancellation fee (even when canceling with due cause). No need to waste your time on reaching out. EcoShield does not hold themselves to any service standard - their salespeople will make promises they cannot keep and the company will not do anything about it. I cannot urge you enough to stay away from this company. read more

I wish I would have read these reviews before signing up. Complete scam. Door to door salesman, lie, show you lengthy areement on their phone, promise no cancellation fee, no term guarantee. How is this company still in business. read more

Do not do business with this company! This company lies, has ineffective products and will pursue you over balances you don't owe. Let's go one-by-one. 1. The lying started when they showed up at my door: "We have customers in the area and the truck was down the street." Neither is true. I work from home and would have seen a single truck near me in the four months since they fed me this line. The truck was also not down the street. I couldn't see it anywere. They get prospect lists from people setting up new utilities and then show up when you're in the middle of unpacking. 2. They didn't get rid of small ants that Orkin did. EcoShield treated my home and yard for ants but they kept coming. I called Orkin the next week and the ants were gone in a day. 3. They've been pursuing me for a "discount" balance for weeks even though I have provided documentation from their own contracts proving that I don't owe anything. They don't respond to my emails or text messages and keep threatening sending me to collections. I added screen shots of a couple of our threads where they simply don't respond to me. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM read more

We hired this business and the same day they sprayed our dog's face when they were inside the house. The dog was just standing there and the guy was putting covers on his shoes. He was holding the spraying gun under the armpit and on accident he sprayed my dog. Of course I knew it was an accident but I was worried about my dog's eyes! I took my dog under the shower to clean it off. The main guy ( not the spraying guy) came for the payment next day and my husband told him about this accident (my husband told him to send the invoice). Next day after vet visit to look for any infections in my dog's eyes, my husband was so upset and he said he wants to quit the service. The guy said The Accident never happened because we don't have the proof. And he will charge us service cancelation fee $250! He didn't have our credit card number but he said he will send us to collection.... read more

Do not buy this service. After I got two treatments, I found a spider web going across my entire living room. I have never seen that before. I then tried to get customer service to respond and got no response. When I tried to cancel, they resisted. It was an incredibly frustrating experience. It was a very expensive lesson. The salesman was very kind but everything else was awful. read more

So disappointed I ever signed up for this service. I have more bugs both inside and outside of my house than before using them. I know they didn't cause that, but I thought I was paying for pest control? Instead I'm throwing money away. I have 3 more appointments to avoid the cancellation fee (which is ridiculous) but I think I will cancel early just to be done and find a company who provides quality service. Seriously, if you are considering them, I urge you to read the many, many reviews and then rethink and go with someone else. read more

I reached out to ecoshield customer service several times. I also contacted my credit card to reverse my charges. But Ecoshield denied my request and said I am responsible since I signed the agreement (on a tiny electronic device). I didn't receive the agreement till 6 months later. I have left atleast 10 messages for Ecoshield sales guy - Geordie Bigman who sold me this service at 169/year only. He has not returned any of my messages. The company has shown no attempt to contact or connect me to Geordie Bigman. My husband is the witness, about this rate. I was emailed a contract after 6 months and it says there will be quarterly charges. But I was charged for the whole year in less than 6 months. I would just like a refund of the 3 extra payments and put this behind me. Ecoshield also denied the credit card refund claim. This has been an eye opening bad experience for me. Ecoshield has no credibility, ethics or care for customers. The guys who came to spray were fine, they seemed professional. read more

Why would you send someone to pound on my door on a Saturday? I asked if he has a village permit for door to door solicitation. He lied and claimed he did. After asking him to produce it three times, he gave me his company ID. When I pointed out that what he provided me wasn't a village permit, he acknowledged he had lied. I kept his ID and told him to wait while I called the police. I have some nice security camera footage of him running like a child to his car and then peeling off. Nothing suspicious about that. Not exactly a professional organization. I would recommend hiring a company that doesn't break the law and one that hires competent adults. This isn't it. read more

do not use, they fail to educate what they really offer, which is little to nothing. For example they do pest management, not the total extermination of pests. Hire young college students to go door to door and then pressure you into signing a contract that is ridiculously worded. So if you have been or have gotten scammed call the BBB. read more

Don't let the bad reviews scare you. EcoShield is a fantastic company to work with. I spoke with them about a rodent issue I had (gross) and they came out, plugged the hole (for a reasonable fee) and I haven't had any rodent issues since. I've also not had any other pest issues since having them. The products they use are high quality (I've looked them up) and well worth the cost. I'm an EcoShield Fan! read more

As everyone previously said, Eco shield is a total scam, once you trying to cancel they force you to pay $150 cancelation fee. It doesnt matter that I used them for almost a year, they still will try to charge you $150 fee. Also even if you consider usin their service its not worth it. They charged me $179 and tech usually done in 10-15min. Total Scam! read more

Complete SCAM! A sales man named Michael K. Came to our door offering his services and said he worked with "many other residents" in our community. Not true. After providing our personal account information, which we never should have done we noticed strange activity in our personal accounts.

We plan on reporting this business to the business bureau and also reporting this incident to our local police department. read more
