John Paul was exceptional. He was patient, respectful and reassuring when explaining pest behaviours to our tenant who has a phobia of water bugs. He answered all of our questions and was generous with his time and expertise. He was thorough and professional. I would highly recommend his services. read more

I have been using Evergreen for close to ten years now and they are wonderful. They are professional, thorough and ethical. And if you happen to be curious about pest control in NYC, they know SO much and they share if you are interested. I happen to be a bug nerd and committed to maintaining my home, and I hit the jackpot with these guys years ago. Now they are starting to win awards, which is no surprise, and I am thrilled for them. So glad I was an early customer and they just did an excellent job again for me! read more

Evergreen services our apartment building in Brooklyn - by far the best Pest control we've ever experienced. We're always happy to see JP, who is so thorough, educational, and conscientious with the space and our needs. Great communication and always generous with info and flexibility (Thanks Jessie) - and really nice to know what they're using is all natural and safe. The kindest and most effective pest controllers we could ask for, recommend to all NYC friends. read more

John Paul and Gary G came in and did a very thorough assessment of my mouse house, explained where the holes were, identified additional problems and provided a detailed and thorough report at the end. They were also just great guys to have in your home. I appreciated their professionalism and honesty. If you've got mice in NYC, these guys will do you right. read more

Evergreen Eco Pest Control - John Paul gets down on the ground - Pest Control Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

We called Evergreen for a carpenter ant infestation that we were experiencing within an old stump on the property. They arrived prepared with the tools needed to address the problem and were very candid in sharing information and advice to mitigate future problems from occurring. The team made the entire experience very pleasant from start to finish, I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. read more

I hired Evergreen Eco Pest Control in 2019 after a previous pest control company was not getting the job done. The difference between Evergreen and other extermination services I've used is like night and day. Jon Paul and Gary always go above and beyond to keep my home free of pests. I am very, very squeamish when it comes to vermin of any kind, so this is a service I take very seriously. I have confidently recommended Evergreen to my neighbors and friends. You cannot go wrong, they are the absolute best in NYC! read more

Evergreen did a great job with helping with our pest problem. Gary was thorough and detailed. Will be working with them again.

I've been using Evergreen Eco Pest since moving into my home in 2014 (back then, they were known as Green Apple Pest Management) and have never even considered using another company. Why? Well, I'll tell you... Number one, they are super respectful of my home environment and go above and beyond to accommodate my fastidiousness (I mean, I'm a great host but I'm also really fussy). They'll put on as many layers of shoe booties as I hand them and always with a smile. Is there an area of your home you prefer they don't spray, or furniture they should be careful around? Tell them once and they'll remember the next time they come back. "Elegant" isn't a word one typically reaches for when describing an extermination service but for Evergreen, it works. Number two, THEIR PRODUCTS ARE EFFECTIVE. Roaches = DEAD. UPSIDE DOWN DEAD. No fumes, no residue, no mess whatsoever, and they'll address whatever questions / concerns you may have. Fortunately, I've never had rodent issues, but just the same, they insist on setting a few traps in potentially vulnerable areas. These guys know know their stuff (and even make their own rodent bait). Number three, they are fellow animal lovers and so you know their products are 100% safe for your pets. My cat doesn't tend to like men in general, but he likes JP who always takes the time to greet him on his terms. Number four, they are very responsive and if you're like me (see a roach and panic, needing immediate service), they'll be there ASAP. Number five, the value. I highly recommend signing up for their QUARTERLY TREATMENT PLAN which A) permanently locks their current pricing in for you and B) is the proper way to keep any insect sightings to a bare minimum. Trust me on this, quarterly maintenance is the way to go. No matter how spotless you are, this is NYC. The roaches WILL show up accordingly with the weather/seasons and if you're not consistent, you're really tossing money out the window. Now give them a call! read more

These guys are great. Jessie was super friendly and flexible setting up the appointment and John Paul & Gary were very professional administering the service. They showed up on time, communicated the process clearly and treated the problem thoroughly. Reasonably priced and reliable-- perfect eco-friendly solution if you have pets or children. Highly recommend! read more

We contacted Evergreen for a rat issue on our stoop. They were quick to reply and come to our home. I wasn't home, but my husband said the guy was fine, but nothing to write home about. We took his advice and had the area fixed, as well as having him bait the area. He assessed our backyard too, but didn't actually bait anything there, even though there was evidence of rats being there. The reason for the low rating is a second follow up call I made. We saw a RAT run across the room INSIDE our home about a week after the first time they came out. The rat most definitely came from the backyard. Not the exterminators fault, as it was an issue with many factors (some not in our control w neighbors doing construction and such) but I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have happened if he had baited the area where there was evidence (feces) of rats. But the biggest issue was how he treated me. I called in a panic as I watched the rat run across my floor, while my 4 year old and husband, who had just had surgery a few days prior, were home (and could probably be heard in the background). The guy was not very nice about it, told me he would come tomorrow if we couldn't take care of it. He pointed out all the "issues" with my house in a condescending way, like it was my fault the rat was there because of all of those things (and Some had even been fixed, not that he bothered to ask). He said, and I quote "I don't know the situation there but as the man of the house I would kill it however I could" when I asked him what to do. It was very sexist and demeaning. And he said "call me back tomorrow if you can't get it". Well...guess what? After I hung up, I KILLED that rat. Myself. Me, a measly female. I should have called him back the next day to tell him! I found another exterminator, of course, who has actually taken care of the issue, made good suggestions, has followed up, respects me, and also told me how awesome I am for killing the rat myself. There are better, less condescending, and non-misogynistic folks out there for extermination services. I suggest looking elsewhere. read more

We hadn't had any cockroach issues in our co-op unit for 10 years. Then we were inundated. Our co-op's exterminators were useless and my own efforts, although an improvement, were still insufficient. So we called Jesse Scaravella at Evergreen Pest Control, which was praised in a Curbed review, and Jesse has been interviewed by the Washington Post, Business Insider, House Digest, and others. Jean-Paul and Gary came into our 1-bedroom unit and spent about 3 hours inspecting and treating everywhere! It was amazing; plus, they were professional and very nice. Afterward they gave us a list of actions we could do on our own to help reduce infestations and make future treatments more effective. Just as important, Jesse is very patient and thorough explaining what's happening, helping us manage our expectations, and discussing next steps if and when necessary. In short, we're delighted with both the process and the results. Superb all around. Kudos, gentlemen! read more

Gary G and Jean Paul did a great job in our apartment! Super professional, kind, and thorough.

Super knowledgeable, super professional, and most importantly super effective. They helped me clear my basement of spiders last year and helped with a random ant problem this month. Will go with them again if anything else comes up read more

SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED to find this pest service. I've had a mouse issue in my apartment for a year now. We had one pest service come, who was very nice and seemed to know what he was doing. But nothing was resolved. We attempted to fill every hole and crack we could find, with the help of the handy man that my landlord hired. Nothing worked! Finally a friend recommended Evergreen to us. He said his landlords had hired them; they came and assessed any possible entry points, filled everything in, and he never saw a mouse again. I was optimistic from all of the reviews, and when the team of two arrived, I knew we were in good hands. They are so professional! Courteous, communicative, and effective. They spent an hour in my apartment assessing any possible entryways. They found a lot of places which needed to be filled in. Some spots they were able to do, other spots, I will have a handyman work on. The most impressive thing: they found what looks likely to be an entryway, which we never would have identified. They can tell by a specific marking on the wall, that it's a common spot for mice to pass by. They placed traps around my apartment. I told them that we had put many traps down (a variety) and I had witnessed the mouse simply run around them. They told me that they are baiting these traps with their home-made mixture of bait which includes mouse pheromones. Much more sophisticated than regular ol' Peanut Butter. I am so excited to see an end to this issue. Thank you so much John Paul and Gary G. I wanted to hug them both before they left, but spared them from this. :) read more

Used them again recently and they remain the best in class-- always helping us identify bugs, figure out what to do, and alleviate our anxieties! I couldn't recommend Jess and the team more. read more

Great phone support, able to provide same day service and within 3 hours of my call they had already left. Both the specialists sent and the person on the phone were very knowledgeable and immediately provided the service I needed, without trying to upsell me or anything. Best part is they are totally pet and child friendly, and I immediately saw positive results. Will use them again for sure! read more

I had the absolute WORST ANT INFESTATION, ever in my downstairs den. The warriors from Evergreen Eco Pest, John Paul and Gary solved my problem THAT very day they came. These smart detectives immediately found a huge mega nest outside my window and poof, NO MORE ants. These guys are cat lovers and put my mind at ease regarding the safety of my cats, with the chemicals used, and they explained everything they did as they were doing it. I highly recommend this company. Call the extremely personable owner, Jesse, and he will solve your problem! read more

I would highly recommend Evergreen! John Paul and Gary were super knowledgeable and very clear. They definitely went above and beyond to walk me through what was causing the mice infestation and the steps to fix it. I will absolutely be going back to their services if needed in the future. read more

I was anxious that we might have bed bugs, so called Evergreen - if it was going to need treatment it had to be safe for our multiple kid and cat household. Jesse was great on the phone and heard my concerns, but explained that what I was experiencing might not be bed bugs. I was still pretty anxious though, so asked for an inspection. He sent a team same day, just a couple of hours later. John Paul and Thomas did a thorough inspection and did not find any bed bug activity. They told me what to do/look out for going forward, other things to rule out, etc. Since they did not find any bed bug activity, they did not recommend doing any treatments (DIY or their services) at this time. I appreciate this company's straightforward and ethical approach. I hope I don't need pest control any time soon, but if I do, I'll call these guys again. read more

We've been having Evergreen come to our house for quarterly maintenance since 2018. They're responsible, respectful and friendly. They're conscientious about kids and pets, are fully vaccinated and take any safety precautions requested. I actually look forward to their visits! read more

I called Evergreen (in a panic) when my neighbor let me know that she'd seen a baby rat scurry into our backyard. Less than an hour later, John Paul and Gary G. were here to save the day! I really appreciated not only their expediency, but also their patience with my gripping fear of rodents. They were thorough and informative, and also shared lots of tips and tricks for keeping our home free of rodents. Highly recommend! read more

I called Evergeeen because I was worried about having powderpost beetles but my case was very complicated. Jesse patiently and kindly spoke to me on the phone and reviewed pictures of the bugs and the damage etc. He gave me really valuable insight and advice and even when I begged him to charge me for something to take away my fear, he said that I really was okay and that he did not want to charge me for services I did not need. Top notch service and can't thank him enough for his time and clear expertise! read more

Evergreen's customer service and attention to details were incredible! They found holes and other damages that had not been discovered by a previous inspector. Will definitely use them again. Jesse, Gary, and Jean Paul were amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Can't say enough about the professionalism, politeness, knowledge and thoroughness. I feel like our family had multiple science lessons on all sort of pests yesterday! All questions answered, no matter how small. Great recommendations and we are seeing the benefits of the treatment in just one day. Thank you John Paul & team. read more

These guys are so nice and did really truly disgusting work for us. No judgement, came early, easy to schedule.

Evergreen came highly recommended to me from my sister and they were great. Very friendly, knowledgeable, thorough and patient answering my many questions, which is really important because let's face it, if you are looking for an exterminator you are already stressed out. If we decide to go the maintenance route I will definitely be using them again. Would highly recommend. read more

Just gave Green Apple's number to a friend who is being overrun with mice and just wanted them to know that all to know that I haven't seen a mouse in my house since this company treated my home in December 2014!!! That's a great testament to the fact that I live in NYC in a very old house.....keep up the good work..... read more

We've had a pretty serious roach problem in our 99% amazing apartment. We have a couple of cats, so we were conscious of the pest management methods we went with. After reading the outstanding reviews Green Apple received on Yelp so far, I decided to call. They came over later that afternoon within a 3 hour window. They even reminded me to make sure to call them if the exterminator didn't arrive within that hour and they would get right on the case. Luckily, he showed up just on time at the beginning of the window. He was so kind and courteous the entire time, being mindful of my cats throughout. Keeping them safe while eliminating all pests was top priority to him! He knew his stuff while explaining to me what he was doing. And, shoot, was he thorough! We had some cracks in our ceiling, and he even treated those. I'm really astonished with the level of service and kindness I received from an industry that I wouldn't typically expect it from. So pleased! read more

I am disappointed! I decided to give this place a try because of all the high reviews. Made the appointment with Mike for Monday Oct 3rd 9am at Queens. By Monday at around 9:10am I called because on one shows up. The gentleman andswered and told me supposed to be a 2 hours windows which is 9-11am instead of 9 o'clock sharp . We are the second appointment of the day. No problem, I pushed all my other business meetings 2.5 hours later just to make room for this appointment, The gentleman assured me his technician will show definitely up on time before 11am. By 11:10am no one shows up and I call them again. The same gentleman answered and said he "was about to call me". His lame excuse was his guy is stuck in traffic blah blah. By the way he sound on the phone, I knew that was an attempt just to blush me off. After all, it was a monday and non busy traffic hour. Their first appointment was 7am and even if they took 3 hours to finish the job, they still have 1 hour to travel to me by 11am. What kind of nonsense is that!!!??? I was really disappointed and canceled the appointment right there. This is NYC, everyone's time is valuable. If you are going to be late you should call the customer in advance and dont wait till the customer call you when you are already late. I am your second appointment and your first appointment was at 7am and you telling me 4 hours isnt enough for you to be on time?. There is no reason for all this. Either your booking method isnt right or you just don't respect other people's time. read more

These guys are no joke! I had a really bad roach problem in my house after contractors demolished a neighboring home. I called Green Apple because of their yelp rating and I was blown away at the service, friendliness, kindness, intelligence and professionalism. I highly recommend this company! read more

DON'T believe the media hype about Bed Bugs: they don't have to be a chronic nightmare. DO believe the Yelp hype about Green Apple Pest Control: they are a dream come true. I was getting bit to bits, so I wasn't surprised when I flipped my boxspring and found a couple guilty buggers hidden in the fold where fabric meets frame. (Prime real estate, I'm told.) I did enough online research to know that my landlord's go-to guy and his bucket of death would only make matters worse, so I heeded Green Apple's overwhelmingly positive reviews and gave Mike a call. His guys Jesse and Dave arrived right on time two days later, which gave me the necessary window to complete the fairly extensive prep work. (Heads up, guys: if you're serious about getting rid of the problem, follow their instructions to the letter. They have an outrageous 97% success rate, and the main reason it isn't even higher is because some customer cut corners on their own end.) I opened the door and before I had a chance to even greet them, Jesse said "Hi, we're here to get you out of this mess." And they did, big time. I can't speak highly enough of these guys. They were OUTSTANDING: knowledgeable, professional, patient, thorough, and kind. They answered every question I could think of and gave my cat a kiss before they put her in the bathroom to protect her from direct contact with any chemicals, even though the stuff they use is as gentle as it gets. I slept like a rock that night and haven't had a nibble in three weeks now. Bottom line: I'd sing the praises of Green Apple to anyone who'd listen, if it didn't mean I'd actually have to admit I had bed bugs to begin with. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. read more

Green Apple Pest is a lifesaver. In our first apartment, my roommate and I discovered we had a roach and mouse problem. Our landlord insisted our super could sufficiently take care of the problem. It was not until we hired Green Apple Pest, that we saw a difference. Mike patched up all the holes we didn't even know were there and sprayed all around the apartment. No horrible chemical smell. I believe the spray is chrysanthemum. That's right. The flower! Mike explained how the chrysanthemum spray was activated by roaches walking over it, and how it was more effective than any other kind of raid or spray poison because it remained on the walls whereas those sprays disappeared once they were sprayed. When it came time for us to find a new apartment, my roommate and I decided we could only live somewhere that would allow us to bring in Green Apple Pest. It was one of the first questions we asked upon walking into each potential apartment. We are about to move into our new apartment and we brought in Mike to christian the apartment. I felt a bit silly insisting he come before we moved in, not having seen any pest problems, but boy am I glad we did. Even though the apartment had been cleaned and repainted, the apartment couldn't hide it's murky pest past from Mike. He found all the indications of roaches and mice--in fact, when patching up a hole, he found a dead roach! There were holes all around the apartment. A huge ticking time bomb, if you ask me! I highly recommend using Green Apple, especially if you are about to move into a new place. Here are some key notes to remember: 1. Green Apple is a small company. They can't always answer your call or return your call immediately. Just be patient and persistent. 2. The treatment will take a substantial amount of time and they won't always be able to make it to your apartment exactly at the time they scheduled. Chill out. Schedule in advance. Allow yourself a substantial window of time (a couple hours) for the treatment. If you have to jet off to work, ask a friend to hang in the apartment or the guys at Green Apple will offer to lock up for you. 3. Treatment is expensive at first but monthly or quarterly treatments after the first treatment are more affordable. Enjoy!! read more

My husband and I had been struggling with a mouse problem for the better part of a year, trying all kinds of different solutions to try and stave them off/trap them. Finally, at my wit's end and tired of sterilizing the kitchen counters over and over, we decided to call in the professionals. Green Apple came out and were very thorough, looking for every hole they could find that might be a potential entry point and filling each, leaving traps out as well. The majority of signs that mice are around & about in our apt vanished almost immediately. About three weeks later, I found one small dropping and called them back in - we were still under warranty, so Richie came to check all the traps and re-fill each with fresh bait. They have been prompt, professional, helpful and friendly at each step along the way, and we are so grateful for their help in our fight against mice! read more

I highly recommend Green Apple! After we told our landlord we had bedbugs, he responded quickly but pretty much hired his usual low budget exterminator(s) who knew nothing about bedbugs. The original exterminators just made things worse and we were living out of plastic bags for 3 months. We were hopeless and sleepless. Then my partner found Mike's Yelp reviews and we convinced our (reluctant) landlord to hire him for the job. We IMMEDIATELY felt relief and trusted Mike. When I made the first call, he talked to me for like 30 minutes while I frantically asked questions. He scheduled an appointment for 2 days later, sent us a prep plan, and responded to all of our paranoid texts. While the original exterminators couldn't even *find* the bedbugs in our house, Mike immediately walked into my room, flipped my bed frame, and showed me their excrement. I never thought I'd be so happy to see poop, but it was quite a relief to see how knowledgeable he is and have him validate what we were experiencing. He didn't use foggers (which the previous exterminators used, making the problem worse by spreading them to other rooms!) and he discouraged us from throwing our stuff away. When the other exterminators treated our place, we'd return to strong, horrible chemical smells. When Mike was done, he left our apartment smelling sterile like a hospital. And I'm a science nerd, so I was happy that he gave us the stats on his results and seemed really honest about his work. Two months later, things feel back to normal and we feel even better knowing that he guarantees his work for 6 months. Thanks, Mike! read more

I called Green Apple Pest many many times over the course of 3-4 weeks, almost to the point of stalking, turns out they/he was on vacation but they/he didn't leave an "I'm on vacation" outgoing voicemail message. Then! Miraculously I did finally get an answer back after my many voicemails I left, only for them to set up an ACTUAL appointment and then NOT show!!!!! No call of apology, no "I'm running late", nothingggggg! I stayed home from work for this appointment, especially as I had been waiting so long to actually nab one! I then proceeded to throw good time after bad and rang again a few more times to no avail. Some business ethic. **Editor's Note! How amusing, it seems though not diligent in their return of phone calls/customer service, they are happy to belittle Yelp commenters who post negative reviews! Does no one find the lousy irony in this? Green Apple Pests: This is New York! EVERY business deals with many of the same types of problems you have to deal with. It's the professional businesses that handle and fix these problems, or they go out of business. It is truly that simple. Call people and tell them you are too busy, don't let them get frustrated, write a bad review and then mock and disparage them for doing so. You would make the same complaint if you were in their shoes, and making fun of potential customers will get you NOOOOOOO business! read more

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. When I called them, it was for a second opinion, because I was getting bitten in my bedroom and I felt uncomfortable with the way the first company I hired communicated. They did not inspire my confidence. They were not certain and clear. Although it thankfully turned out NOT to be bedbugs, I was traumatized and freaked out nevertheless. I went with EVERGREEN ECO PEST CONTROL on an instinct and I am glad I did. Their crew arrived masked, and was professional and efficient. They all went above and beyond to reassure me and to give me the peace of mind I needed to move to my new apartment, as well as protecting me and my animals. (They are big animal lovers.) I ended up hiring them and not another big name company for one simple reason. The first company could not answer all my questions, whereas EVERGREEN ECO PEST CONTROL was kind, caring, and supportive on top of being thorough and professional. Jesse, who I spoke with at the company, has got to win the prize for "Angel of the Year," for patiently answering my questions, dispelling my anxieties, and above all, making me feel safe. This is a family owned company that really cares. I hope you never need to hire a pest company, but if you do, you will never do better than EVERGREEN ECO PEST CONTROL . read more

I'm the owner of a two family brownstone in Bushwick. About two years ago, I got bedbugs in my top floor apartment. I didn't know where to go, but I made an educated guess and called Green Apple. They were thorough and professional, put us to ease (compared to all the horror stories out there on the internet), and took care of the problem on the first visit. Two years later and the downstairs duplex just got bedbugs (totally unrelated). I knew there was no one else I would consider calling. These guys are consummate professionals. They KNOW bed bugs. They go through everywhere they might be hiding, find them, kill them, kill the eggs, and spray the area so they don't come back. Their methods seem fool proof. They come back in two weeks to double check, and then give you a 6 month guarantee. If you follow their instructions, I feel like you shouldn't even need the warranty because they are SO THOROUGH. Also very personable and easy to work with as people. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I highly recommend the services of Evergreen Eco Pest Control--the peace of mind they have given me alone is worth five stars! I have used their services before and they have always been prompt, knowledgeable, and very helpful! I had spotted a mouse in my apartment (eek!) last night and called them the next day as I feared an infestation and am deathly afraid of the critters. Jesse answered and was accommodating and friendly as always. John Paul and Thomas were at my apartment that afternoon to scour every nook and cranny of my place, conducting a thorough inspection to determine where the mouse/mice are getting in. They sealed all the cracks and holes and strategically placed traps. I am so grateful to them for answering all my annoying questions and giving me tips on keeping my place mouse-free. They work hard and obviously know their stuff! The company also has a great 60-day guarantee for the mouse treatment. I am still scared of the 'lil rodents but I am so relieved that Evergreen Eco had taken care of the situation. Please call them when you need pest control! They definitely provide five-star service. read more

These guys were great! They took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made sure to give me lots of suggestions for ways to keep my apartment pest-free in the future. They also called me to let me know that an appointment cancellation meant they could come to my home even earlier, which was very much appreciated. The appointment took about 1 - 1.5 hours, and the extermination team was pleasant and professional throughout. Really highly recommend Green Apple! P.s. I also loved that one of the team (David?) even chatted with me about some of my book collection as he worked! Always fun to meet another a Hunger Games fan! read more

I was already in a very miserable state by the time I called Green Apple. My landlord did not handle the situation well, hiring cheap exterminators who had no clue about how to deal with bedbugs and instead of exterminating them just chased them around. Green Apple were very professional from the very beginning, both during our phone call when they explained how their treatment works, how to prepare and what they guarantee, and during the actual treatment. We did have to wash and bag all our stuff ourselves (I know some companies offer laundry services, but I kinda do not feel right about trusting my stuff to strangers), but they moved all the furniture as needed and put everything back they way it belonged. The apartment has been clean since August, and will hopefully remain so. I highly recommend their services. read more
