EJ's came to my house within 24 hours of me calling them. They were on time, polite and solved my ants issue. Its been a month and the ants have not returned. They were reasonably priced and a good value. read more

EJ Pest Control is the best... same day service, staff was friendly and cost was good.

Update: they charged me $150 ahead of the service- not $70. And the technician did not go up a ladder- he pulled leaves out through the flue then told me of the additional $50 and refused to leave without payment, threatening he would keep coming back for the money. I was told when I called the owner would call me back and she didn't. I originally was too nice in paying the extra $50 fee I was never quoted, assuming I could have a rational conversation with someone from their company. I spent days trying to get ahold of someone. Finally the "office manager" said the person I spoke to the day of the appointment claims I never asked to speak to a manager even though that was the entire reason I called in confused when presented with additional charges. I had a very specific problem and described what I though was needed- removal of a dead bird. Instead their was no bird, only some leaves were removed through the flue and they were done in 20 minutes and it was $200. I am shocked by the continued dishonesty of these people. The representative from their company is lying in her response to my review. I hope they go about of business. read more

I posted my original review on 11/21/15. Also on 11/21/15, the owner of the company posted a response stating, "We put a money order in the mail also for a small refund." Today, I received a money order in the mail for $20. That envelope was postmarked 11/23/15, two days after the owner's response. I have now received a refund of less than 10% of what I paid for a service that did not fix the problem and during which the technician misled me about the work he was doing. So I paid $190 ($210 minus the $20 refund) for the service from EJ's, and then an additional $150 to the handyman who actually did fix the problem. But I promised the owner of EJ's that I would update the review if I did receive any partial refund, so I am updating the review now. read more

Very responsive. Good customer service! This is a money-centric industry focused on your wallet over true resolutions. EJ's approach is different and appreciated. City-living creates a need to have prevention plan that works and they do!!! read more

Overall, a very kind and personable technician, but extremely expensive. The price was slightly over the higher end of the price range quoted. The bill did not provide a rhyme or reason for how they determined the price or why it was higher than the quoted range. We were very pleased that they were able to schedule a same day appointment, but the technician arrived over an hour later than the appointment window. The technician was efficient and had the right ladder to get on our roof. However, he did not have anything to dispose of the carcass and did not have any cleaning supplies. He left the room with dirty paper towels and other debris. read more

I called EJ's about a minor rodent problem that popped up a couple weekends ago. The three of four services I called in advance of EJ's all claimed they couldn't send a technician in less than 24 hours. EJ's showed up in 2 hours to complete the half-hour job. They removed droppings, set traps and plugged some holes behind the oven with steel wool. They were incredibly efficient and professional. Getting the job done in a timely manner counts for everything when you're dealing with a pest infestation. When in doubt, call EJ's. They're awesome!! read more

So my experience with EJ was less than desirable. I had an issue with Bedbugs in my apartment. I chose EJ because of 2 main factors: 1. She came so highly recommended on this site and in her google reviews 2. She made a member off her staff available on a Sunday In retrospect I should have waited to hire a professional that would have done a thorough inspection prior to taking any course of action, but I digress. The representative she sent was nice enough and helped me get rid of the bed where we thought the bedbugs were, unfortunately I had not read that one should not move anything suspected of having bedbugs thorough one's house without sealing it first lest you spread the bed bugs further. Unfortunately not only did we move the uncovered contaminated bed but we did not measure what it would take to get it out of the door and had carried it all over the apartment to get it out. When she was scheduled for a return visit I was not available and we had a complication with scheduling and when she did finally get into the apartment she was visibly upset and rushed through the apartment laying down some dust without inspecting the home (again). I understand her impatience with my location as I was not able to clear the apartment as instructed, (this is DC space is hard to come by). However, I believe there is still a level of professionalism that one should conduct themselves with even when they are frustrated. All in all the treatments and services she provided did not take care of the bugs or bites. I ended up having to call a Terminix representative and have him perform an inspection and give me a plan for comprehensive treatment which included many different forms of bedbug control not just chemical spray (apparently these things hide in walls and wait for the efficacy of the chemicals to wane). Bedbugs are a nightmare, the last thing you want to do is deal with someone who is equally as stressed out as you over the problem. Find an expert on the front end, it saves you time grief and money. read more

WOW! I am a college student not from the area and I had a horrible landlord who refused to help us with our mice problem. He blamed us for the problem! I called EJ's and they came the same day. She went above and beyond to help us not only with our mouse problem but showed us that the issue was in fact NOT our fault. Don't go to anyone else EJ's Pest Control will get rid of your problem and give you preventative measures on how to prevent them in the future. Very Pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to rid their home of pests! read more

Came on Sunday, did a thorough job. Was really nice and explained everything that she did. EJ was very helpful and would definitely recommend her. read more

We came home to find that while absence, gnats had moved in! Gnats out the Wazoo!! In panic, I turned to Yelp and choose EJ's Pest Control. I made the call and was surprised to find and hear more about gnats than I ever imagined. My next surprise was to have them say they could be at the house in 2-3 hours. WOW!! The only thing EJ's couldn't control was the DC traffic and the delays associated with the WWII Vintage Plane Flyover. But, EJ kept me posted on location and ETA. EJ arrived at the door armed and ready for gnat attack and conquer. And attack she did!! After the first treatment we had piles of dead gnats at the source and throughout the treated areas. As promised, within a few hours there was not visual or odor evidence of the treatment, only dead gnats. I was impressed with their knowledge, experience, and most of all, RESULTS!! Highly recommended for your pest issues and control. Steve read more

I have used EJ twice now, and I've been very happy with her services. I first called her in the spring about a carpenter bee problem. EJ analyzed where the bees were nesting and filled the holes. It took a couple of visits, but her treatments took care of the issue and we were all so relieved! More recently, I called EJ to come dispose of a dead rodent. EJ arrived within fifteen minutes and took care of the issue, no problem. When you have a pest problem, you want someone to answer the phone and come take care of it immediately. EJ is that person. Response, reliable, and absolutely fearless when it comes to pests. Also, it is always a pleasure to support a woman-owned business. Highly recommended. read more

EJ came to my house to help with a mouse issue on very short notice. I called at 8:45pm, she was there by 10pm, handled the problem with patience and calm. She was professional and kind and I'm happy to recommend her! read more

EJ was great today. I called her last week as I was heading out the door for a business trip and ran across a mouse in my kitchen. !! I landed late at night, called her (she answered)!, and was quick to schedule the visit. She arrived and was very committed to making sure she understood the problem and addressed it with a combo of traps, steel wool/foam, and recommendations for my handyman. She was so determined to get back into my kitchen wall that she at one point had the oven on its belly. Very thorough, wanted to make sure I was happy. Great friendly personality too. We had a fee laughs. read more

Ijeoma responded within 6 minutes to my request for a quote (awesome!) and said we must have box elder bugs congregating around our back door. She agreed to come out the very next day, but I had to cancel due to a complication on my end. So although I can't speak to her work, I can vouch for the fact that she is very responsive and friendly. read more

What I liked so much about EJ's Pest Control, is that they got the job done. I called a few other companies but the price was either to high or they could not come right away. EJ came the same day the technician was very polite, efficient and he moved fast. I will recommend them to my office building as the can't seem to get rid of crawling creatures with the current company we are using. Ej's gets five stars for being on time, getting rid of the mice, and spraying for everything else before we moved in.. Great Job!!!!!!!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of calling upon EJ's Pest Control to address pest issues in my DC condo. I had initially called at 8pm on a weeknight and received a return call prior to 9pm. I was able to schedule an appointment that week! EJ was on time, extremely professional, very reasonable in pricing and exhibited high integrity. The company went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me as a homeowner in situations that were outside of scope. I am extremely blessed and grateful for EJ and colleagues and look forward to working with them again in the future! read more

Poor customer service on the phone, the receptionist answered from a cell phone with bad connection and I told her I could not hear her and she hung up on me. I try to support African American business but they truly don't understand customer service! read more

I had a bedbug infestation and EJ's quickly responded to my need for an exterminator by giving me a same day appointment and came as soon as I was ready. Clementina was very friendly and answered all of my questions. She told me I would need 3 treatments and that made sense as some friends told me they are hard to get rid of. read more

Ej's Pest control came within the hour on the same day I called to solve a bed bug issue. Mind you I am horrified of bugs.They gave us a reasonable price and answers all my questions. I will recommend her to anyone. read more

Really nice people! We had a problem with mice in the house and they came by to lay traps, put poison in a few locations, and close any holes they could find from the exterior or from neighboring row houses. Unfortunately the mice didn't go away at first, so they came back on 2 separate occasions to do follow-up treatments; all under warranty from the first visit. Eventually the problem was solved. Again, the people were very nice, so my only complaint was that their solution resulted in some dead mice in the walls. I don't know if there were alternatives, maybe not, but options were never offered or discussed. But I would definitely call them again if I have a pest problem. read more

(service in May 2015) Absolute worst service I have ever experienced. I was living in a row house on H street and we had a problem with some mice. We called for an assessment and to have our house treated, I even left work early to meet her and she was 30 minutes late with no phone call. This I could have completely ignored because it was in the middle of rush hour, but it was the general lack of customer service, knowledge, and effectiveness that really stood out. -furniture was moved and not put back into place -her trash was left all over the kitchen and used our peanut butter as bait - she literally duct taped a grocery bag to an exhaust vent where an old dryer was and didn't say anything about it until we discovered it -her treatments didn't work (she came back 2 additional times to just lay more sticky traps) and she was incredibly rude the each time. -i asked questions regarding typical mouse behaviors and how her treatments could fix our problem (Ive worked with them since graduate school) and she had no response or knowledge except repeating that the sticky traps help and that my roommate needed to clean the clothes off her floor, which she said was why we had mice. Absolutely horrible experience, coupled with zero customer service skills and we still had mice. Update: The comments below by the business owner are very misleading. I paid with my credit card and even offered her a beverage after she complained how tired she was, so I was absolutely there. Yes there were a couple mice that were killed, as traps do that, but we paid a lot of money for a service to prevent them from even entering the house and that was not done. We continued to have mice once the traps (that anyone can purchase) were gone. My apologies for stating that you showed up more than twice, for that I am sorry. read more

The worst. Came to treat my apt for roaches. The woman hardly was interested in where I was trying to tell her the roaches were coming from. Instead, she carelessly poured her treatment everywhere, not caring about getting it on my belongings at all. She even left a dead roach just chilling on the floor. She wasn't professional, and charged me more than the initial quote. What's worse is that now, there are more roaches than ever before. Unprofessional, lazy, uncaring, and ineffective, on top of being expensive. Avoid at all costs read more

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use this company for pest removal services. The owner (EJ is her name apparently) is very rude. From the beginning of my initial engagement with her, I picked up on it but I went with them because they would accommodate me same day. Needless to say a waste of time and money. Starting with explaining the problem, she cuts you off and expresses no empathy. I was able to get an appointment for the afternoon. They showed up 3 hrs AFTER the slot they indicated, which the slot itself from from 1-4 pm (a huge time frame). I called repeatedly after it got to be an hour after the slot. No response on the phone. Finally the guys arrived, they were young and unprofessional cracking jokes in between apologies for being late. They came in an inspected my room, finding "Nothing" so they did a "general" spray. They went and got chemicals and then proceeded to add water to them.. in my bathroom sink! They seemed to do a thorough spray (with watered down chemicals) needless to say I am STILL getting bit. This morning I called the company back. After explaining I'm still getting bit, the owner says she remembers me and that they suggested extra treatments but I told them "I couldn't afford it", when in actuality I requested a discount , because they were 3 hours late and not answering the phone (I paid $150) . She proceeded to say "well what do you want us to do" ... in this moment I realized this was futile. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS read more

This is an overpriced service that did not actually help with the issue. We had to call someone else to come fix the mice problem at our apartment after she came out. Waste of time and money. Don't bother. read more

It is 4 months later and our DC row house is still rodent free. EJ was responsive and prompt, and from our perspective very successful.

Great service!!! This young lady came out on very short notice to my mom's house and did a fantastic job in getting rid of the "unwanted visitors." She is very pleasant and professional--We highly recommend her! read more

This exterminator was amazing. I had a bed bug issue in my home. She came to my home to jnspect and she found where tge bed bugs were harboring. She was able to treat my house in a timely fashion. read more

EJ stopped by last night to spray the inside of our home for a number of creepy crawlies. She was personable, knowledgeable and very professional. Would certainly recommend her services to others. See you next month EJ! read more

EJ does not accept the yelp voucher listed on this site unless you spend $100 with her service, which isn't mentioned anywhere. Be aware of this when using her service. read more

Ej is truly provides exceptional service and is genuinely just a good human being. I've used Ej for over the past year for routine pest control for my apartment building which I inherited with a pest problem. Through it all she has managed to navigate dirty tenants, clean tenants, construction, and whatever issues arise while always remaining courteous and professional. She is always available and responsive to any concerns. Her work is guaranteed and will follow up until the problem is resolved. Ej's pest control is also a local minority owned business that provides equal if not better service than larger names at affordable prices. I am pleased that my pest situation is now under control and will keep working with her to ensure it stays that way! Thanks Ej! read more

I originally called EJ for basic treatment for any bugs since I live in a heavily wooded area. She was polite and friendly and set me up for a monthly plan at a reasonable price. We then found a bed bug just before she was scheduled for her 1st regular service and called her. She sent a tech right away, who not only did the 1st regular treatment but started a treatment regime for the bed bugs. It has been 4 weeks since her last bed bug treatment and I have only found 2 dying bed bugs that did not appear to have fed. I called EJ and she is coming out again. EJ has spent much time making me feel at ease. I have an innate fear of any bugs, not to mention the biters you can't see. It gave me more anxiety than I could ever relay. With all of this in mind she has been there for me. She always responds to my calls immediately. Her tech is quick and thorough. I recommend her to anyone who has a busy schedule and is in need of immediate help. read more
