Advantage Pest Control has worked Massachusetts' North Shore since 2006, when the Croce family started the company; it's still family-run today, based out of Manchester-by-the-Sea and Topsfield and covering towns from Amesbury and Andover down to Boston and Concord. The company describes itself as an integrated-pest-management shop rather than a straight spray-and-go outfit — organic treatment options, seasonal mosquito and tick programs, and wildlife exclusion sit alongside its standard residential and commercial pest control. Its Google rating is a perfect 5.0, and the Better Business Bureau has it at an A+ grade, though it hasn't pursued formal BBB accreditation. It's also a listed member of the Manchester-by-the-Sea Chamber of Commerce. What's thin is volume — written reviews are few for a company that's been doing this for two decades, so the strong marks rest on a small sample rather than a long paper trail. For routine residential pest work in the towns it covers, the numbers line up: a five-star average, an A+ letter grade, twenty years under the same family. Given how few written reviews back that up, it's worth asking around locally or requesting a couple of references before committing to a bigger job like a full exclusion.

I had a bit of a mouse problem in my home and Advantage Pest Control was amazing! Specifically our technician Dan. He was knowledgeable, kind and so informative! He went above and beyond to go around the house to make sure there were no small holes that the mice can get through and if he found some he filled them up for us! What an awesome company! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience across the board! From the initial phone call, I felt like my concerns were heard and I never felt pressured into any sort of upsell. Then Mike came out and did a great job with the service - super friendly, super helpful, and took care of any questions I had. A few weeks after we got our initial service, I called Jeff with some questions and he was more than happy to help. I felt cared for as a customer and a person, and I didn’t feel like I was someone they wanted to just try and extract money from. Now, a month later, our mouse problem is so much better! And we feel confident that if we have any problems again, we’ll give Advantage a call immediately!

these guys are the best! They're professional, congenial, thorough, flexible and are happy to work with you. I had been renting in a house for 16 years where the landlord used their services; they were great. And now I am in a new place and use them for my unit.... they're still great!
