Buono Pest Control Company

Buono Pest Control has been running out of Belmont since 1978, and its reviews keep naming the same handful of technicians — Justin, Anthony, Hassan, Sean, Tomas — by name for a reason. Founded by Benedict J. Buono Jr. as a small family alternative to routine chemical spraying, the company says it moved to Integrated Pest Management in 1982 and still leans on that approach across residential, commercial, institutional and industrial jobs, including a stated specialty in research facilities and vivariums. Every one of the 12 Google reviews on file (the platform shows 17 ratings, all 5-star) is positive, dated between July and August 2026, and a few go beyond a bare compliment: one describes Hassan clearing an infestation in a single treatment at a reasonable price, another says the property has been rodent-free for "a few years now" of service. The BBB grade is A+, though the business is not BBB-accredited; BBB records list it as a corporation operating since 1978 with a file opened in 1990. Leadership has deep tenure in the trade: the company's site names President Marillian Buono Missiti (more than 35 years in pest management, a past president of both the New England and National Pest Management Associations) and Chief Operating Officer Steven A. Buono (more than 40 years). It also holds NPMA QualityPro certification and a Massachusetts Women Business Enterprise (WBE) certification, verified active through January 2027 by the state's Supplier Diversity Office. The reviews line up closely behind a small group of named technicians, so it's worth asking who would actually handle a research-facility or recurring residential contract before signing on.
