About Us

Since 2005, Abra Kadabra Environmental Services has operated as a family-owned business, serving Minneapolis metro residents and business owners with exceptional pest control services. Matt Eickman and his team provide the absolute best, giving their clients peace of mind when it comes to pest control and personal safety.

They have seen first-hand the many damaging effects of our local pests and are familiar with all sorts of pests and solutions that work. They have a genuine concern about the health and hygiene issues caused by these insects and rodents. As a family-oriented team, they would settle for nothing less than the best for their family. That strong desire for excellence transfers into their business, providing the best, safest pest elimination programs for you and your family.

Abra Kadabra is a member of the National Pest Management Association. Technicians are certified by the National Wildlife Control Operator’s Association and licensed by the Minnesota Pest Management Association. Technicians continue to update their knowledge by earning continuing education credits each year learning the most up to date information, statistics, methods and industry trends. The team’s goal is to help homeowners, apartment owners, landlords, and business owners eliminate pests with as little human exposure to pesticides as possible. Pest control packages are available in seasonal or annual plans to fit any need.

Our leaders at Abra Kadabra, notably our CEO, began his journey at Abra Kadabra as a teenager. While in school, Matt would take his extra time to spend hours with Abra Kadabra’s former owner, doing jobs in different residential and commercial properties. From this experience, Matt himself gained a lot of knowledge and skills in Pest and Wildlife operations that inspired him to further his career in it.
