Dave's Pest Control

Dave's Pest Control is a family-owned pest-control company at 113 Main St in Sturbridge. The Better Business Bureau lists pest, termite, animal, bed-bug, bee and mosquito control, animal trapping and extermination, and identifies the company as accredited with an A+ grade. Customers consistently describe technicians who arrive on time, explain products and options, and work through ant, wasp, mouse, mosquito and other pest problems. Recent reviews mention fast ant treatment, detailed inspections, clear explanations and repeat service; a 2023 homeowner described same-day yellow-jacket treatment that reduced dozens of indoor bees to none within two days, and a long-term customer wrote in 2023 that the company had kept the property free from pests for 24 years. The larger Google profile reports 4.9 stars from 558 ratings, while Porch reports 4.6 from 24 ratings. There are two specific points to settle before booking. A 2024 reviewer rated the full-service gold plan three stars and reported that rotating technicians did not consistently locate or refill bait boxes; ask how recurring-plan visits are documented and how equipment locations are tracked. A March 2026 reviewer objected that the company did not remove bats, even though bat removal is not listed among the BBB services; confirm that the requested species and remedy are within the company's current scope. Dave's is a strong fit for routine residential pest control, inspections and recurring plans when clear technician notes and follow-up expectations are agreed in writing.
