Ace Pest is a family-owned Worcester pest control business that reviewers know by one name: John. Across 19 reviews on Google spanning 2021 through this year — every single one five stars — the same pattern repeats: he answers the phone himself, shows up fast, and treats the problem right then. Response time comes up constantly. In a 2024 review, a customer described him arriving in under 15 minutes for a wasp nest; in a 2022 review, another described him showing up in under 10 minutes for a yellow jacket encounter while mowing the lawn; and in a 2025 review, a customer said he was over within 90 minutes of a phone call. He's also been called at genuinely inconvenient hours — a 2022 review described him working through a bat problem in a college dorm at 1am, and another 2022 review described him coming out on a Sunday for a bee nest inside a wall. What separates the reviews from generic praise is a recurring theme of honesty over upselling. In a 2024 review, a customer said John gave free advice over the phone that saved them $350 to $500, in contrast to other companies that were, in the customer's words, happy to take their money for unnecessary work. Several reviewers describe using him for years running — one 2025 review described three straight years of preventive treatment on a 100-year-old fieldstone home. The business covers the range of pests a Worcester-area homeowner is likely to call about: wasps and bees, mice and rodents, and the occasional bat. BBB gives the business an A+ grade and lists a Massachusetts DEP license number for the company, though that number is BBB's own record rather than an independently verified state check. The website also states John is a certified pesticide applicator, though that's a self-reported credential as well. For pest emergencies in and around Worcester — a wasp nest, a rodent problem, a late-night bat scare — Ace Pest has an unusually consistent, specific, and long-running track record built almost entirely around one responsive owner-operator.
We are having a very good experience with our exterminator. He is professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He takes the time to inspect everything carefully, explain the process, and answer all of our questions. He is also very understanding and reassuring during a stressful situation. We are already noticing a big improvement after the treatment. I highly recommend him to anyone needing pest control services.
John is the absolute best. He picked up the phone right away and was over within 90 minutes. This will be our go to company moving forward.
I had a wasp nest on my property and reached out for help. John charged a very reasonable price compared to other vendors. He treated the nest one evening, and by the next day the wasp activity had almost completely stopped. By day three, I didn’t see a single wasp near the nest. Quick, effective, and affordable service – highly recommended!
I cannot recommend John from Ace Pest highly enough for his exceptional service, professionalism, and expertise. For the past three years, John has been treating my 100-year-old fieldstone home, ensuring it remains pest-free and giving me peace of mind as a relatively new homeowner. His extensive knowledge and experience shine through in every interaction, whether he’s addressing wasps, ants, various bugs, or, most recently, a flea issue caused by my outdoor cat. When I discovered fleas in my home, I texted John in a panic, and he responded promptly, arriving the same night to assess and treat the problem. His responsiveness and understanding of my concerns were truly priceless, turning a stressful situation into one I could trust him to handle with care and efficiency. John’s professionalism is unmatched—he takes the time to explain the issue, the treatment plan, and preventive measures, all while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor. The pricing at Ace Pest is fair, but it’s John’s dedication to his craft and his clients that sets him apart. He’s always there when I need him, providing not just solutions but also reassurance. Thanks to John, my home remains a comfortable and pest-free sanctuary. I wholeheartedly recommend John and Ace Pest to anyone in need of reliable, expert pest control. Thank you, John, for your outstanding service!
