Julio Vazquez answers the phone at Castle Extermination and does the work himself, and reviewers keep describing the same thing: he doesn't just treat and leave, he explains what's happening and why. Across 23 Google reviews spanning 2021 to this year, every one is five stars, and the theme repeats from the earliest to the most recent. Vazquez, an Associate Certified Entomologist, opened the Methuen company in 2017 after working for two established pest control firms; it's family owned and a member of the New England Pest Management Association. Yellow jackets are the recurring emergency: customers describe a kitchen-wall nest that took three visits to clear, a nest behind a compost bin dug out and confirmed gone on a return trip, and a deck-area nest found only after two stings in two days. More than one reviewer called him same-day — arriving within hours after a hose couldn't be used near an active nest. The everyday work shows up too: a 2026 review credits him with clearing roaches in the exact time frame he promised, and the company's own site lists ants, rodents, bed bugs and pantry pests alongside stinging insects. The last six months alone added nine more five-star reviews with no negatives. The Better Business Bureau lists an A+ rating, though the company isn't BBB-accredited and shows no complaints on file. It's a small operation — Vazquez and a few employees — covering roughly 20 miles around Methuen into the Merrimack Valley and southern New Hampshire, so it's worth confirming they reach your specific town and pest before booking.
