## The honest read

Clancy Brothers Pest Control runs at a scale most South Shore pest companies don't approach — 2,286 Google ratings averaging 5 stars, a Better Business Bureau A+ rating, and by the company's own numbers, 210 reviews in just the last six months with only one negative. Based in Quincy, they show up for the classic call-now jobs: mice and rats, wasp, hornet and carpenter-bee nests, carpenter ants, and termites.

The recurring shape of a Clancy visit: a technician who calls or texts ahead, walks the property, and explains what he's doing and why before doing it. One property owner hired them this year for an ongoing mouse problem in a multifamily home and reports the monthly service already stopped active activity. In a review from December 2025, a homeowner who suspected bats in a bathroom vent got a more precise diagnosis instead — the technician identified an English sparrow's nest, cleared it, and replaced the vent cover.

The one sour note in a large volume of praise: a 2026 review described a $250 visit — five traps and some steel wool placed in about 15 minutes — as overpriced, adding it felt like a letdown after reading so many good reviews of the company.

Worth confirming what a basic inspection or trap-placement visit costs before booking, especially for a smaller job. Otherwise this is a solid call for anything from an active rodent problem to a stinging-insect nest that needs to come down.

**Strengths:**
- Monthly rodent control — stopped active mouse activity at a multifamily property
- Accurate diagnosis — identified a bird nest, not bats, and resolved it
- Stinging-insect removals — treats wasp, hornet, and carpenter-bee nests including high eaves
- BBB A+ accredited with a large, consistently positive review base

**Concerns:**
- Pricing complaint — one visit of traps and steel wool called overpriced at $250
