Highlights
- After-hours response — showed up at night during a snowstorm to free a trapped squirrel
- Named technician — reviews describe Mike explaining the plan and using pet-safe treatments
- Complaint handling — a customer called the response to a cleanup complaint rude and belligerent
- Return treatment needed — an ant problem came back within weeks of the first visit
In a 2015 review, a homeowner described calling Andover Pest Control at 10 pm on a Saturday night during a snowstorm after a live squirrel got its head stuck in a fireplace crevice — Mike showed up half an hour later and had it freed and removed within 15 minutes. Andover Pest Control says it has more than 25 years of combined experience in pest and property management, and its written reviews describe a similar mix of routine treatments and after-hours calls. Other reviews from the same period describe similar hands-on troubleshooting: in a 2016 review, a customer said Mike returned their call right away, spent time explaining the plan, and used chemicals safe for pets to clear a clover mite infestation that had followed a mulch delivery. A 2015 review described him clearing a hornets' nest and, on a separate visit, capturing skunks that had moved into a yard — calling him professional and prompt, though that reviewer found the second visit a bit pricey and shopped around afterward. Not every account is positive. In a 2015 review, a customer said their 94-year-old mother called on a Sunday for a bees' nest and was left unhappy with the cleanup — the technician, believed to be the owner, used her own spray, didn't clean up well, and was described as rude and belligerent when the family called to discuss the $150 charge. A 2014 review said ants came back within weeks of a first treatment and needed a stronger follow-up visit before it held. The platforms diverge on how this nets out — Google puts it at 3.3 stars from 19 ratings, while HomeAdvisor and Angi each show 4.5 stars from 81 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+. Its written record runs from 2014 to 2020, so for a routine treatment or an after-hours call alike, it's worth asking directly how a complaint would be handled before booking.
