Able Pest Control Service

Able Pest Control, a family-owned Brockton operation that BBB records trace back to 1987 under owner Joe Giammatteo, is the kind of company Southeastern Massachusetts homeowners call for wasps, mice, and the occasional flea infestation dragged in by a housecat — and one technician's name comes up again and again: Ryan. The pattern across years of reviews is specific rather than vague: in a 2024 review, a homeowner describes Ryan checking every room, the basement and crawl space, then walking the perimeter of the house and sealing two spots where mice were getting in; in another from 2024, he's credited with finding and closing a new entry hole for free on a return visit. Pricing comes up honestly too — in a 2025 review, a customer describes Ryan reassessing a suspected "worst case" hornet job on arrival and adjusting the quoted price down once he saw it was simpler than expected. Not every account is glowing. In a February 2026 review, a customer describes a technician who didn't seal a mouse hole but instead covered it with a sticky pad, arguing mice avoid sticky surfaces — the reviewer pushed back that mice can chew through it and called the fix inadequate. It's the one specific complaint in an otherwise consistent multi-year history, and worth asking about directly: how entry points get sealed versus just covered. Before calling, know the company also offers a 6-month guarantee on treatments, mentioned by more than one reviewer who used it to get a free return visit. Beyond that, what's here mostly points to one thing: ask for Ryan, and expect him to look past the immediate problem for how pests are actually getting in.
