The Bad

  • Does More Than Pest Control
  • Not Available for Residential Properties
  • Undisclosed Information

Does More Than Pest Control

Ecolab is a global leader in water, hygiene, and energy technologies. The company works hard to make the world cleaner, safer and healthier by promoting solutions and services that support safe food, clean environments, and optimal energy and water use. While the company has an impressive global impact, it could also be seen as a downside for its pest elimination solutions. Because the company serves such a broad scope of industries, some customers might feel that they could get a more personalized experience from a pest control company that is more local and focuses only on insect control.

Not Available for Residential Properties

Ecolab caters to the commercial industry for pest control. While this isn’t the worst thing, it does narrow the customer field. 

Undisclosed Information

Ecolab does not disclose vital information about what the company offers regarding benefits. Basic information that is not revealed includes:

  • Whether or not there is a free follow-up service
  • The specialty chemicals and sanitizer products it uses
  • What guarantees are offered
  • Installation/activation fee for a first service to the customer's facility
  • Details regarding a contract. To learn how a contract works, customers will need to contact Ecolab for a consultation.
  • Whether or not liability insurance is included

Ecolab strives to create a safer, cleaner, and healthier world for everybody. Ecolab states that its products and services help prevent disease and infections, by keeping food and supplies safe. The companies work is to protect the places where people eat, sleep, work, play, and heal. 

For commercial properties or business Ecolab has plenty of pest solutions to get rid of any unwanted pests, rodents, or insects.

While this isn’t a deal-breaker, some customers might choose to go with a local pest control company, as they might worry about receiving a more personalized experience.

My last hotel in Michigan had switched to Ecolab for our preventative pest control services. The cost was fairly pricey but is about what you would expect for a company this size. My only complaint would be it was difficult to make contact with someone to actually discuss setting up an account. Once were were in things were seamless but I had almost given up and looked for another vendor.

Used for both restaurant chemical supplies and pest control. From our knowledgeable reps to our technicians and delivery personell, everyone always took great care of our needs. They operated based on their keen observations of our daily routines and made suggestions to make our restaurant cleaner and more sanitary. With their help we always maintained perfect health scores.

I actually didn’t use Ecolab for pest control in my home, but rather in my work place. Ecolab also came and switched out our rugs, and hand towels in my store every week. They would come and spray once a month for pest control and check their traps they would leave in the stores.

I saw 2 roaches within a weeks time and that was more than enough for a lifetime for me. I called Ecolab and the gentleman came out. Explained how they were getting in and their habits. He did what he came to do and I have not seen any since. Great job
