Brochu Pest Solutions

Brochu Pest Solutions runs pest control out of Salem, NH — ants, mice, ticks, bed bugs, wasps, termites — for homes and businesses across southern New Hampshire and the Merrimack Valley towns of Massachusetts. Founder Dave Brochu got into pest management in 2014 after leaving the Air Force, then started the business himself; beyond that the company doesn't give an exact founding year. What keeps showing up across its reviews is a fast callback and a technician willing to explain what he's doing. Google has the company at 5 stars over 380 ratings, and the last six months alone brought 24 reviews with not one negative among them. Recent callers describe two straight seasons of wasp treatment with zero issues since day one, a first-time customer walked through the whole plan before any work started, and a longtime customer describing three straight years in her house without a single bug — "unbelievable for NH," she called it. Technicians get named often enough to matter: John pulled a yellow-jacket hive out from beside a bedroom and stayed on afterward for ongoing "critter" management, and a February reviewer thanked both Dave and a colleague, Kirk, by name. One customer mentioned having already sent the company five referrals. That isn't a one-season run — the same kind of specific, satisfied write-up carries back through 285 reviews collected since 2021 across six different sources. The company also carries an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau and is listed as a member of the Salem Chamber of Commerce. Worth knowing: that BBB profile itself notes the business is not a BBB Accredited Business, so the A+ grade isn't the same as having gone through BBB's own vetting. Beyond that, nothing in the history points to a bad job — the closest thing to a knock is a plainly brief four-star "efficient service" review with no complaint attached. For an ant trail, a wasp nest in the eaves, or ticks before backyard season, this reads like a company people put on a recurring quarterly plan rather than call once and forget. Worth confirming directly which plan — a one-time visit or the subscription contract several reviewers mention — actually fits the problem at hand, since most of the praise here comes from customers on ongoing service rather than a single visit.
