Boston Wildlife Pest Control

Boston Wildlife Pest Control is a Malden-based wildlife specialist — the record centers on raccoons, groundhogs, squirrels, and snake identification rather than routine ant-and-mouse work, with a technician named David repeatedly credited by name. In a January 2026 review, a homeowner described two raccoons trapped and removed within a few days, with the company using a wireless trail camera to monitor the traps and rebaiting on short notice, including late on a Friday evening. In a 2022 review, a customer called about a family of raccoons and a large groundhog living under a deck; the company arrived within the week with eight people, installed steel mesh with a one-way exit door around the whole perimeter, and finished within a couple of hours. A 2023 review described the company fixing a botched critter-guard installation a solar company had left behind, after squirrels got underneath panels and chewed the wiring. Several 2023-2024 reviews describe David offering free snake-skin identification over email, responding quickly to reduce a homeowner's worry about what they'd found. One 2023 review is worth knowing about: a customer calling about a bat inside their home says no one returned the promised callback, and had to get a friend's help instead. This looks like a solid, humane-leaning option specifically for a raccoon, groundhog, or squirrel exclusion job — steel mesh, one-way doors, live trapping — rather than a general exterminator, with David also useful for identification questions. Worth confirming response times directly given the one report of an unreturned call.
