Absolut Pest Control

Absolut Pest Control is a locally-owned pest control and extermination company run out of Amesbury, serving homeowners and businesses across Northeastern Massachusetts, Greater Boston, and into New Hampshire. The company says owner Paul F. Fougere runs the operation, and its own site puts its experience at about 25 years — though the Better Business Bureau's file dates the business back to 1993, closer to 33 years, so the exact tenure is a little fuzzier than the marketing states. Its online trail is thin: just 10 reviews spread across four different sites from 2021 through 2025. Google shows a 4.2-star average from 15 ratings, but folding in the full spread of reviews tips the tone closer to neutral than that number alone suggests, pulled down mainly by a complaint about cost. A Better Business Bureau A+ grade is on file, though the business isn't BBB-accredited and no complaint history appears on that profile. Price is worth asking about up front — at least one reviewer called the service very expensive, and with so few independent reviews on record, there isn't much of a track record to weigh that complaint against.

For routine household or light commercial pest problems in the Amesbury/Merrimack Valley area, they're a long-standing local option with a clean BBB file — just confirm pricing and scope on the phone, since the online history here is too sparse to lean on for much else.
