Absolut Pest Control

Absolut Pest Control is a locally owned pest control company based in Amesbury, Massachusetts, owned by Paul F. Fougere and self-reporting 25 years in business (in business since 1993 per its Better Business Bureau listing). It serves residential and commercial customers across northeastern Massachusetts, the Greater Boston area, and New Hampshire, and holds an A+ BBB rating, though it is not BBB-accredited. The written record is genuinely split. On one side, a 2025 review described flexible scheduling, good communication, and an on-time visit that cleared a roach problem, while 2021 reviews described a hornet nest cleared in two hours and a technician who worked quietly around a customer on a work call. On the other side, a 2023 review said the company did essentially no work despite repeated visits to a unit, and a separate 2023 review described months of continued mice sightings after a visit that left just a single glue trap under the stove, which never caught anything. A more recent 2025 review called the pricing very expensive. Given this split, it's worth asking directly about the specific treatment plan for an ongoing rodent issue — what a visit actually includes, and what follow-up is provided if the problem isn't resolved — before committing to recurring service.
