The company describes itself on its website as family-owned and operated, and the site says Dave Penttila, Sr. started it and that it has served Massachusetts for over fifty years. Its website lists termite, bed bug, mosquito, rodent, ant, tick and stinging-insect treatments for residential and commercial customers, plus recurring protection plans. It carries an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau and is BBB accredited. A recent Google customer said Dave came out within an hour to treat a huge ant infestation along a rock wall on their property. A recent customer said Brandon explained that part of the process was to inspect for signs of insect damage as he performed the service. A recent customer who had a mice problem a couple of years ago said the company settled that issue. A recent customer said their yard was treated for ticks and that after carpenter ants in the house earlier, they have not seen any since. A recent customer said Brett found the problem in 10 minutes, and a recent customer wrote that Dave finished an inspection within the time frame that had been given. In a 2023 review, a customer said the company sent someone the same day they called about 30 to 40 bees inside their house every day for a week, and that Gary found the entry points and treated the areas; that 2023 customer said by the second day there were none. A 2022 customer said Matt explained what was attracting carpenter ants on their property and sold them on the silver plan, which that customer called super reasonable. A 2026 customer who said they had been on the gold plan for years wrote that Jake helped eliminate a bee issue that past summer. In a 2024 review, a customer on the gold plan said they never had the same person, that bait boxes in the basement and attic were not refilled because each new person did not know where the others were, and that they did not sign up for another year. A 2026 customer wrote that the company does not remove bats.
