Anchor Pest Services

Anchor Pest Services is a family-run pest control company based in Manchester that says it's served southern New Hampshire since 2017, treating everything from ants and rodents to ticks, termites, bed bugs and wasps for homes and businesses. The scale of positive feedback here is enormous — 595 reviews since 2022, a 4.9-star average across 1,373 Google ratings, and dozens of named technicians (Rachel, Evan, Craig, Daniel, Murphy, Ernie, Stephen, Jason among them) who show up again and again for the same reasons: thorough work, clear explanations of what was found and what was done, and quick response when something urgent comes up. One 2026 reviewer with a vole problem got a technician on-site about 20 minutes after calling; another switched to Anchor specifically for its willingness to use snap traps instead of rodenticide around a yard with owls. Pricing comes up unprompted and favorably more than once — one 2026 reviewer said the company was doing three times the work for half the price of a previous provider. There's a real pattern worth flagging on the sales side, though. Several 2026 reviews describe door-to-door salespeople knocking despite clearly posted no-soliciting signs, with at least one reviewer saying police were called over it. That's a separate issue from the pest-control work itself — reviewers who describe the technicians directly are consistently positive — but it's a repeated complaint about how the company drums up new business. Separately, a 2026 review from a landlord described the company's trap-removal policy (taking traps out after three days regardless of whether the problem was resolved) leading to a tenant's rodent issue recurring. The Better Business Bureau accredits the company and gives it an A+ grade. Its listed New Hampshire pesticide-control license numbers appear on that BBB profile, issued by the state's Division of Pesticide Control — the state registry itself was not independently checked here, so treat that as the company's directory listing rather than a verified credential. For pest control across the Manchester/Nashua area, the volume and consistency of praise for the actual service work is hard to match — just be direct about no-soliciting preferences if door-to-door sales visits are unwelcome, and ask about the trap-servicing schedule if an active rodent problem is involved.
