Ecotech Pest Elimination

First off, I’d like to say that this company got back to me within 24 hours of calling them and leaving a message. Josh did an amazing job servicing my house for ants. He was very nice and knowledgeable about pests in general. He had Eco-​friendly products which was awesome because I have a dog and was worried about chemicals. He guaranteed his work and assured me that if the ants come back within the month, he would come back and take care of them free of charge! I’ve used other companies in the past and they would charge for extra visits. Over all, the products worked, Josh was wonderful, the price was fair and I will definitely be using this company for any future pest problems.

Great customer service and expert advises. He knew what he was doing. Bottom line — the rat was caught 6 days after he came. (But we had to follow his exact instructions in keeping the house clean and setting traps in specifical ways)
Highly recommended.

I am extremely happy with Ecotech and their service! Recently a flower farm, old barn, and condemned house were removed from our block. The result was that displaced mice (including field mice) infested our house. It was revolting and nothing we did really got rid of them (the cat killed a few, but he barely made a dent). In desperation, I called Ecotech after hours on Friday, thinking they would contact me Monday or Tuesday. Well, Saturday morning at 9:00 I received a call from Dave!
Dave let me know that because of scheduled vacations and lots of calls I might have to wait a few days. I was so impressed with his promptness and kindness I said I would be happy to wait. He told me to call him back at the end of the week, but I didn’t have to because he called me as soon as he had an opening and was near my neighborhood. I can’t say how much I appreciated that (I felt I wasn’t alone as I sat in my mousy hell).
Dave and his helper came and checked out the house, gave us some good ideas about food storage, closing access points, and then they set different kinds of traps. They were extremely efficient and professional. The price was incredibly reasonable and included more traps if we needed them. Within a half hour of their leaving we caught two mice and more the next day with a grand total of FIFTEEN by the end of the weekend! We got great, professional service at a reasonable price which solved our mouse problem. I can’t recommend Dave and Ecotech enough. Thanks guys, you are the best!

We had just 1 more mouse we couldn’t catch. We tried to save money by doing it ourselves for a few weeks, but just couldn’t catch the last remaining one. We should’ve called Dave from the beginning because that would’ve helped us eliminate wasted money and stress. I wished someone had referred him to me earlier. Within a week of setting his traps, there were no traces of mice in the house and thank God that I don’t have to deal with it anymore.
It’s been a few months now and still no traces coming back, unlike last time we tried it ourselves, the mice came back after a few weeks of going silent.
Dave was so nice and professional. It’s a family business and I’m glad I was supporting that too.

Dave promised next day service, however he was in the area and stopped in within the hour. His advise on securing the house and food storage was very informative. I am very afraid of mice/​rats, so when he told me I would have to get rid of them once they were caught, I was sure I could not do it. With gloved hands and closed eyes I accomplished the task, so he also restored my pride. Unfortunately for Dave, I now know I can handle this all on my own. I disposed of two, and am now hoping there are no babies.

My husband and I just can’t praise enough about Joshua, he is honesty, responsive and thoughtful. We found fleas inside our house. Joshua came to our door the next day after we had called him. He not only helped us to eliminate indoor fleas, but also volunteered to check our backyard. Indeed there were some fleas on our backyard deck, and he did extra work, spraying the whole deck, without telling and charging us. We need more decent, trustworthy business man like him!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this company. Our house is 100 years old with a full basement, and had never had issues with pests in the 14 years we have lived here. We noticed a small mouse, called Ecotech and Dave came out two hours later. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and explained that due to the drought, mice are increasingly coming indoors. He baited our house, identified possible points of entry, and within days we have caught mice and notice no more droppings. When I called him a few days after he came to let him know that four traps had been successful, he dropped off new baited traps the next day (he would have also set them up again, but we were not at home and were glad to keep momentum going and set them up when we got home). Very positive experience all around, highly recommend!

UPDATE ⁷⁄₇:
I am a very happy customer. We caught 8 mice (Blech!) over the course of a couple of weeks and I can finally breathe easy. Joshua is like hitting the jackpot when it comes to exterminators — effective, easygoing, responsive and trustworthy. I also had him get rid of an ant problem we had as well. Highly recommend!
ORIGINAL:
I hate mice. And I was overwhelmed when I realized that the house I had moved into had a long-​standing mouse problem. I called a bunch of exterminators. Few called me back and the responses I got were very varied. Company #1 tried to get me to buy into a long-​term service contract right away and had a two week wait. Guy #2 refused to even quote me an idea of a price over the phone and started going into a long-​winded philosophical discussion about «catching» versus «understanding» the mice. Dude — it’s mice. I just want them and their pesky droppings gone.
Joshua called me back promptly within 24 hours and was able to fit me in the following day. From our brief conversation, I felt infinitely better since it was clear that he knew what he was doing and was very realistic and calm in his responses. Like other people have stated theirs in the rare company willing to teach you how to do things yourself if you would like. I decided to have him do exclusion work as well. His inspection was very thorough and he was patient with all my very anxious questions. Their price was very reasonable and I am glad I chose them.
I will update with results and adjust rating if necessary but my initial impression is very favorable. Thanks Joshua!

Joshua is awesome! We have an annoying ant problem and their eco solution is perfect for our family (dog and toddler). Amazing customer service and super responsive! Highly recommend for any pest issue!

I highly recommend Dave and Ecotech. I was a long time customer of a major pest company that did organic preventative work on the outside of my home. I had no major problem for years. But when an ant problem occurred the major pest company was less than helpful — they didn’t spend the time to evaluate, they didn’t show for appointments, they were not responding to the fact that the problem was escalating. And in fact the ant problem over weeks got worse and worse. In frustration I called Ecotech on a Saturday and on SUNDAY (yes Sunday) Dave came over. He took the time and evaluated the problem, sought good immediate and long term solutions, and explained everything along the way. His bait traps were far superior to what the other company had provided. We knew it wouldn’t be an instantaneous fix but well within the time frame Dave set the ants were entirely gone! It’s now been a few weeks since the the problem was fixed and things are still great. Not an ant in sight. I am no longer a customer of the major company (they were SO bad) and am now going to be an Ecotech customer! I really can’t say enough about how great it was to work with Dave. He really seems to know his stuff, was reassuring while still being realistic re time frame, and he was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive.

I called Dave after work when I was informed that I may have a pest problem on the roof. I left a message and he promptly called me back that same night. He came by the house the next day and inspected the area of concern. Luckily he informed me that I don’t have a pest issue and found some potential issues that he can fix up quickly. It was all up to me. I could have easily said no, and he would’ve happily walked away without charging me a penny. I took up his offer to patch up the potential issues since I’d rather be proactive than reactive. Dave took care of business as planned. I now have a pest guy. Who knew.

I came across a few ants in my bathroom and decided to knock out the problem before it got worse. I saw the reviews for these guys and thought I’d give them a try. Josh came out to my house the same day and put out bait and sprayed my entire bathroom. The whole process took only a few minutes. The bait attracted more ants and I got worried and decided to phone them up. Josh explained to me that the bait would attract ants for a short time but assured me they’d be gone in a day or so. Sure enough, today is the second day and there are no signs of any ants!

I waited purposely a couple of weeks to see if the service was effective and I can say that I had a great experience all the way around.
I have. 100%. Dave came out on the same day which was awesome considering I freaked out over two beetles. But hey, better to be safe than sorry. I was really looking for a few things from the exterminator.
1. Safe for my pets but still effective.
2. Same Day Service
3. Expertise
4. Reliability
5. Effective Solution
I got all of this and great service too. Dave came out and took a look at the poor beetle that I murdered (insert tear, I hate killing living things). He contacted someone or something to make sure he was accurate in telling me what kind of beetle we were dealing with.
Then he did a walk around the property and found another beetle that I would have missed as I was walking with him. I felt he did a thorough inspection between making sure he knew what beetle I had and walking the property.
He put some sand mixture in the front and backyard and then sprayed all they way around the house. My dog is super sensitive to chemicals and sadly he would probably eat my cats if I let him in the house full time so I had to make sure we had a safe product. Dave said it was safe and my dog has not acted differently. He has freaked out before from the gardeners next door spraying chemicals.
He said he would come back if we had any further issues. I felt that he really cared about his work and would follow through. I appreciated the fact that he was willing to back up his work.
His pricing is competitive and I was happy with the service I received even 30 days later. My boyfriend just said he saw a big spider on our porch and he went to step on it but it was already dead.
I recommend Dave hands down and feel comfortable referring him to friends, family and colleagues.

Dave dropped everything and came to help us on a weekend last November. 5 months later and no vermin since!!! He really helped seal off all possible entry points.
Very easy to work with!

Dave was awesome! He was so so so nice and so helpful. I has called around to different businesses but he got back to me the fastest so I went with him because k couldn’t take the gross mice anymore. He was super informative, super friendly and he definitely solved the infestation issue ANDDDD he was on time. He even gave me helpful hints on how to prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thanks Dave. You’re a life saver! I feel at peace again!

I hate to write negative reviews, but…
Plus sides: David is a really friendly guy who exudes confidence in his own work. He returned my phone call promptly and he showed up when he said he would. He had good advice about how to seal up my food to make the house less attractive to mice. He gets a second star for his good customer service.
Sadly, he did not do a good job dealing with my mouse problem. He set traps and patched entry points where I pointed out previous problems to him. And he located one other possible entry location and dealt neatly with that problem. His inspection was cursory at best.
5 days after he came, not one mouse has been trapped by the traps he set, and I am continually find more mouse dropping that either have come since he arrived or, more likely, were here already — they are in areas of the house that he did not inspect. Zero stars for actually solving my problem.
Though David seems like a really nice guy, I feel like I wasted my money and my time having him come out. And I still have to deal with the rodent problem which he confidently had assured me he would solve.
Too bad.

We’ve had rat/​mice problems for about a year now. Our place is rather clean, no clutter or dirt. We make sure it’s organized, and food is stored away. It all started when we had a 1″ flood in our kitchen/​family room. Kitchen sink pipe broke, water damaged our tiles. We replaced it with hardwood. Since then droppings (rat feces), torn chip bags, candy bars (they love Kit-​Kat my wife was pissed!), scraps of wicker baskets, plastic toys (rat ate my 1 yr .old’s plastic lettuce toy), and nuts found in pieces daily.
I called a pest/​exterminator immediately. long story short. $ 250 gone and nothing to show for it. Friendly exterminator guy just didn’t get the job done. So i invested in mice/​rat traps, glue boards, did all my youtube research on trapping these unwanted pest myself. I killed one mouse a month ago with a glue board. That’s it. More and more food scraps were discovered a few days later.
I gave it one more shot with a different exterminator from Unilocal! thank you!!!
Dave the man! Experienced, knowledgable, friendly and also the owner. So far we caught 3 rats within 5 days. He knows exactly what to do. Also at a lower price from the last exterminator.
Not sure if the pest problem is completely done. Daily observations and possible weatherproofing may still need to be addressed. However, the results so far have been great!

Dave came today to spray for an ongoing spider problem at my home. Very knowledgeable and excellent customer service. I would recommend him to anyone. Courteous and just all around wonderful service.

Dave did an amazing job on my house the other day. He was extremely friendly and I recommend him to everyone in the Bay Area. I had rats in my home and I tried calling other pest control services, man did they charge a lot! Dave offered a much lower price then all those other big company’s and actually got rid of the problem. I’ve called other pest control services and they’ve come and said they would take care of it but never did. I give ecotech 5 stars for Dave’s fast money saving friendly service.
