Ecologic Entomology

This place was very helpful when we got bed bugs. They do a free bug identification if you bring in a specimen. We brought a bag of bugs down and they were able to identify them right away. Even though our landlord didn’t want to go with them (she went for a cheaper slightly questionable company, unfortunately we had no say) they talked with us for an hour on the process and provided us with information on the top three chemicals used. They also provided us with some legal advice on dealing with the landlord. I wish our landlord would have gone with them for the treatment because they genuinely seemed to care about our well being and were very knowledgable. If you have the option I would go with this company, if not they are still happy to help answer any questions.

Just had a visit from Ecologic Entomology, and they deserve five stars for sure. Jonathan Boyar came out to see us, as my daughter and I have been getting bit by something in the night, or so we think, and it’s not a vampire! Of course, the fear was the dreaded bedbug! Jonathan asked very pertinent questions, after which he did a thorough check of our beds, taking them clear off the frame. Didn’t find anything to indicate bedbugs, which was worth every penny of his visit to have peace of mind. Gave some suggestions of what it might be, probably something environmental, which should be an easy fix with vacuuming, mattress covers, that kind of thing. SO glad I checked Unilocal and found the best pest control around!

Super friendly, super fast, super informative. No upselling or scare tactics, just good info from good people.
A satellite install guy warned me I had a burgeoning hornet’s nest on my roof, which I’d normally let go, but I wanted to make sure it was just hornets and that they weren’t getting under the eaves or anything. The last thing I want is stinging insects pouring through my light fixtures months or years from now. (I’m from Houston where we once had mostly-​harmless bees take over the entire garage from inside the wall paneling. I like bees but there are limits!)
Ecologic Entomology came out within a couple of days of my web inquiry. I was really impressed that they made the most of my limited side-​yard to get at the nest, which I couldn’t even see, with an extension pole and didn’t charge me for ladder access.
Best of all, I now know a good, trustworthy company to call for any future issues. Bug conflicts are inevitable — I don’t need a hero, just a professional.

Extremely professional and excellent service! I had a skin reaction to something and neither me or my doctor could figure it out, so I had to go down the list of possible causes. When I got down to the possibility of bed bugs, I set up an appointment, and after a thorough check, my mind was put at ease, and knew that most likely bed bugs were not the problem and I could cross it off the list of possibilities. Turns out it was just a very severe reaction to poison ivy I ran into on the golf course.

First off, I would like to certify that I am not some third-​world reviewer paid to write slobbering Unilocal reviews for chump change. (I refer you to, *ahem*, not to flaunt, but OK, here’s a piece I wrote for Naked Security on just this:
)
Not that there’s anything wrong with people making a buck any way they can, mind you, but I myself am not making one slim dime out of saying that these bug people are super duper.
Anyhoo!
I recently got bit in my belly, in a series of bites, two of the sets being arranged in perfect little triangles. Like crop circles. The work of extraterrestrial visitors? Maybe! Fleas from the cats? Maybe! Bed bugs? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeyowwwwww, maybe!!!
The morning after a friend quizzed me on my bites and mentioned the ominous BB term, Jonathan was flipping my mattress and poking around, bless his soul.
I had done the whole checking for fecal matter (they excrete our blood in rust-​colored crap that you can actually rehydrate so that it turns back into, basically, blood) thing myself, saw no blood stains on the white sheets, had looked into the mattress’s nooks and crannies, saw nothing.
So why did I pay $ 150 for the inspection, and was it worth it?
Yes, I’d say so. Jonathan was, as others have noted, professional, knowledgeable, and very thorough. He took the mattress clear off the bed frame and pointed his flashlight into the frame’s nooks and crannies, pointing out the places where the BBs would likely hang out.
After a painstaking inspection of the bed, bed clothes and mattress, and a praise-​worthy discretion about the bed’s drawers and all the grownup materials therein, Jonathan then checked out the futon we use to lounge on and watch TV.
Those futons are ungainly beasts, aren’t they? Nonetheless, he rolled that sucker back and inspected away.
No bugs were found anywhere, thank goodness. I think the cats brought a flea in, or perhaps I got bitten by mites, or, most likely, very small aliens made crop circles on my belly.
At any rate, I haven’t received any more bites. Ecologic gave me peace of mind, so I’m glad I had them come suss out the situation.
And furthermore, they deserve business because they’ve got a lovely Zen approach to living with other creatures, in spite of being willing to bomb them to kingdom come if need be.

Great company. I have used them three years in a row for annual foundation spraying for ants and they were great. Very nice on the phone, prompt arrival and the technician seemed to know what he was talking about each time.
They drive these cute little cars too! I would recommend them to anyone having to deal with pesky little bugs in and around their house.

After twenty years of apartment living in Boston and NYC, I have never had bed bugs. Six months after returning to Back Bay, my luck ran out. I frantically called Jonathan and he made time for this crazy person who suspected beg bugs.
Jonathan is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, thorough and accommodating. We confirmed bed bugs and he understood that it’s a pretty traumatic experience and took the time to educate me from all angles.
He is extremely knowledgeable and leads workshops and seminars regularly. The treatment he uses is completely odorless and colorless and he has treated my apartment and furniture with care. I also gave him keys to my apartment while I was traveling, so he proved trustworthy as well.
I learned that it is critically important to treat beg bugs properly. If you use a repellent, they will scatter and you will have a very difficult time getting rid of them. If you suspect bed bugs, do yourself a favor and call Jonathan.
I don’t have another exterminator to compare him to, but I can tell you that he is top notch in his field and ranked very high on my professionalism scale.
PS — at the risk of sounding like an over-​the-​top fan, he also treated my old Brownstone for spiders twice as part of the bed bug treatment, which I desperately needed.

6 months later, and I just wanted to confirm that Ecologic absolutely solved our bedbug problem. We haven’t had any issues since they were here the last time. These guys are great, and I hope I never have to see them again!
