Michael Scott Pest Control

Michael Scott Pest Control, based in Brockton, is a one-owner-operator shop — Michael, sometimes working alongside Fabio or Flavio — that Southeastern Massachusetts homeowners and property managers call for the full range of pest jobs: wasp and hornet nests, mice, carpenter ants, termites, and seasonal tick/mosquito yard spraying. The through-line across more than 100 reviews since 2021 is speed on stinging-insect calls. A 2026 review describes calling about a large wasp nest the day before a 50-person birthday party and having it safely removed before the party; another from 2025 describes a message left on a Saturday answered and the nest cleared first thing Monday morning; a third describes Michael and Fabio removing a hornets' nest in twenty minutes and backing it with a three-month guarantee, longer than competitors' one-month terms. Rodent work gets the same specificity. A 2026 review describes entry points sealed the same day a mouse was reported; another from that year describes a landlord's minor mouse issue at an eight-family Taunton property resolved within two weeks. Several reviewers — property managers and landlords among them — describe using Michael for multiple properties and multiple years running, citing consistent results on ants, mice, and yard pests without repeat problems. Pricing comes up as a genuine differentiator rather than an afterthought: multiple reviews describe upfront, reasonable quotes, and one 2025 review specifically compares his price and guarantee favorably against other companies shopped beforehand. Recent activity keeps the same shape — 20 reviews in the last six months, none negative — describing the same pattern: fast scheduling, the owner or a known assistant on-site, and a plain explanation of what's being treated and why. The one review that isn't a full five stars (four stars, from December 2025) still describes Michael as on time, nice, and thorough — a minor variation, not a complaint. There isn't much of a caution to raise here. This is one of the more consistent, specific multi-year records in this category — the closest thing to advice is to expect a small operation (Michael, sometimes with one helper) rather than a larger crew, which fits how personally reviewers describe the service.
