This company is completely unethical. I was told this would be a one time charge to remove ants but they secretly signed me up for a quarterly recurring plan. They also lied about their guarantee and refused to give me my money back. When I called to cancel they kept transferring me and giving me the run around. After over an hour on the phone they said I could cancel but there would be a $200 cancelation fee for something I never agreed to. I refused to pay the fee and then they said it was too late in the day to cancel (4pm) and hung up on me. I had to call my bank to cancel my card and file a chargeback. They are also facing a class action lawsuit because of their deceptive sales tactics and blatant violation of contract law, which should give you an idea of what a scam they are. I highly suggest anyone dealing with their scam does the same thing I did, especially considering the FTC 3 day cool down rule which lets you cancel within 3 days of any home solicitation sale. When I brought this up to them the sales person tried to get off the phone and transfer me. Save yourself the headache and avoid Eco Shield like the plague. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience with Ecoshield. I was told a full attic inspection had been completed and that my home had major mouse activity. That turned out to be untrue. One of my attics was nailed shut and inaccessible. There is no way it was inspected. The other attic had minimal signs of activity, and the technicians confirmed there were no mice or nests. Instead of acknowledging the issue, the technicians tried to "fix" things by adding insulation to the unsealed attic, which felt like a bait‑and‑switch tactic. This entire situation has made it very hard to trust the company or the services I was sold. On top of that, I was also sold a contract for garage door seals--only to be told later that the service couldn't be performed because Ecoshield didn't carry the seals for my type of door. The technician even mentioned that this service should never have been sold to me in the first place and this contract was canceled. Between the inaccurate inspection claims and selling a service that couldn't be delivered, I feel misled and frustrated. I requested a pricing adjustment to reflect the actual conditions, but the overall experience has left me questioning the integrity of the inspection and sales process. read more

I had good service for a while, then they did an exclusion service with snap traps in the basement. I was told I could call and schedule a follow up to remove the dead mice, then after I paid for expensive exclusion service they refused to do so. By the time I found another company to remove them, flesh and fur was stuck to my floor in the spots the mice were. These photos reflect the sort of pest "solutions" you can expect from this terrible company. If you need a pest company that will kill pests in your home and leave the gross work to you, you've come to the right place! read more

Door to door solicitation without the appropriate village approval to do so. Employee wouldn't take no for an answer. At first, I was interested and asked for a business card. He didn't have them on hand, and said he would be right back in 3 minutes to provide one to me. Went outside after a few minutes and found him snooping around my back yard. When I asked for a business card again, he said he doesn't have any. Lying about little stuff like that let's me know all I need to know about a company/person. 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

Terrance M And Derrell H thank you all for helping me and for your great customer service!!!!

This is SCAM. They do not tell you the truth and refuse to let you out of the so called contract. I never would have signed up for this much money cost if I had known. They do not tell you what they are using as chemicals . As a senior they took advantage of me. Never do business at the door again and will never do anything with these people again. read more

Do not waste time and money. Services do not work. Difficult to get them to follow up and address the treatment issues that did not work. Expensive for low to no quality. read more

When I signed up with them, the salesman said I can cancel after 2 applications at no cost. Went to do that and they said if I do there is a $200 cancellation fee or do 3 more applications. Totally lied to by them . They wouldn't help me out. Would not recommend them at all Dishonest people/company read more

Do not use this service. I saw no change and it will take a day to cancel it once they have you locked down. When I canceled my last appointment they charged me an additional fee to cancel even though they were not asked to show up and do anything. read more

Personal are very polite, but the products they use are worthless. I called because I had ants in my kitchen. They came out on Aug 15 to spray kitchen and basement. The ants are worse than when I first called them. I am being told I have to wait 2 weeks to let their product work....for the ants to carry product back to the nest, blah, blah, blah. Tomorrow is 2 weeks. They are going to "squeeze" me in for an appointment. But the won't happen until Sept 9th. I ask the person I talked to if he would like a growing infestation of ants in their kitchen. This person told me they don't use the most effective spray at 1st application because the ants will get use to this spray. So they start out with the least effective spray. So I have been living with this problem since Aug 15th. I will not pay them until the problem.is resolved. In addition, I will not be using them for the life of my 2 year contract. I will also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Buyer Beware. I recommend Fox Pest Control Peggy Karol read more

They use unethical sales tactics. A sales rep came to the house and said we could cancel at any time. However, they don't share that you've signed a 2 year agreement for quarterly payments. They offer a $200 discount that so conveniently needs to be paid should you choose to cancel your services after their 3 day grace period. Called customer service, they were no help. Made a complaint at Better Business Bureau and the EcoShield response was "well you signed a contract." We paid for 2 services and don't want any further treatments. Such a scam! read more

Representative agreed to exterminate ground squirrels in our yard. Later I found them dead. Little did I know it is against the law to kill wild life. This sales person offered to solve this problem knowing it is a violation I was not aware of. Lots of things are problematic in life... But pest control companies ought to know the law and not offer illegal services. read more

The salesperson named Derrick did not explain to me properly that I am signing up for quarterly commitment and was tied to a service plan where I am forced to pay cancellation fees if I did not want it . And I thought it was just a one time thing Also the person who did the work was literally 15 mins inside and outside and was done and never did any work where furniture was covered etc .. read more

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! The salesman completely lied to me offering me a discounted rate for quarterly services. I paid for the initial service, then the office called within one week to schedule another service the following week. I told them I just had the service completed and was told it would be every 3 months. Then he told me the service would cost $100 more than what I was initially offered. I canceled the service over the phone and now I am getting calls constantly that I owe a $200 cancellation fee on the contract. This company is a total bait-and-switch company and even though the local representative lied to my face, their billing department said they would not waive the $200 cancellation charge. STAY AWAY FROM ECOSHIELD!!!!! read more

Do not utilize this company. Their salespeople will "give you a discount" because they are servicing your neighbors. It is not a neighborhood discount, it is a subscription discount and if you try to cancel your subscription, they will charge you $400. Also, because they schedule the service on the same day, even if you cancel in the first 3 days, they will still charge you the $400 fee. DISHONEST company, DISHONEST and pushy sales people. I cannot recommend you stay away from them more. Also, please don't been fooled by the owner's responses to negative saying they would like to make everything better...they don't. read more
