Mantis Pest Control LLC

Mantis Pest Control is a family-run outfit based in Lowell, led by owner Steve Burke — reviewers across several platforms, from Google to Angi to HomeAdvisor, consistently mention him by name and describe him doing the work himself. It holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. The written record runs from 2018 through 2025, and it covers the full range of New England pest calls: bee and wasp nests, mice in the attic, bed bugs, and seasonal ants and ticks. In an October 2025 review, a customer praised quick response, friendliness, and reasonable pricing; in two August 2025 Angi reviews, customers described Steve arriving promptly, explaining the process, and holding to his quoted price. A March 2025 Google review detailed a chronic bedbug problem resolved using the minimum amount of product needed, with the bugs still gone three and a half months later. Older reviews describe the same pattern repeating for years: a 2024 HomeAdvisor review recounts Steve calling back within minutes about a yellow jacket hive and arriving the next morning with a senior discount applied; a 2024 Google review credits him with solving a mouse problem that multiple other companies couldn't; and a 2022 HomeAdvisor review mentions a stated guarantee — the customer noted he'd return at no charge if the wasps came back. Nothing negative turns up at all — the lowest rating is a single 4-star review from 2022 that still called the company great. A guarantee comes up in a few of the older reviews but isn't described the same way every time, so it's worth asking upfront exactly what's covered and for how long on a given job. For the common New England pest calls — wasps and bees, mice, bed bugs, ants, ticks and mosquitoes — Mantis looks like a dependable, long-tenured local option, especially for anyone in the Lowell/Merrimack Valley area who wants the same person showing up each time.
