Garfield Pest Control

Garfield Pest Control has customers who've stuck around for decades — one Google review describes 20 years of ant-free service, another says the family has used them for over 25 years. The Merrimack, NH exterminator, which describes itself as family- and veteran-owned, covers residential and commercial pest control across central and southern New Hampshire: ants, rodents, bed bugs, bees and wasps, roaches and termites, offered as one-off treatments or quarterly and annual plans with same-day service advertised. Across 144 reviews dating back to 2015, the pattern that keeps showing up is a technician named Rich, credited again and again for explaining exactly what's happening and why — a 2026 review said he laid out a termite game plan on the spot after inspecting the problem, and a 2024 review described him walking a customer through a bed bug's life cycle before treatment. Reviewers repeatedly note the company doesn't push unnecessary services: a 2025 review said it recommended three seasonal visits instead of $150-a-month treatments, and other 2025 reviews mention no contracts required and no upselling before a wasp job. Response times get called out often too — same-day or next-day visits for hornet and yellow-jacket nests show up across several 2025 reviews. Scheduling reliability comes up as a real, recurring theme worth asking about directly. A 2025 review described multiple missed return appointments trying to clear out bees and called the service unreliable. A 2023 review said the technician and the work were excellent but called the scheduling itself abysmal, citing prior no-shows, and a 2021 review described an ant problem that was still unresolved two weeks after the first treatment visit. None of this is the majority experience — most of the record is strongly positive — but it's worth confirming a firm appointment window before the visit. For routine ant, rodent, bee/wasp or termite issues in the Merrimack area, Garfield's long customer relationships and its no-pressure approach to pricing are the draw; given the scattered scheduling complaints, it's worth locking down a specific appointment time and asking what happens if a first treatment doesn't fully resolve the problem.
