Peppermint Pest Control

Peppermint Pest Control has collected 86 five-star reviews in roughly a year, 42 of them in the last six months alone, and Google's tally reads 5.0 across 91 ratings. Almost every one of them names the same person: AJ, whom one customer calls the owner and who shows up, quotes, treats and follows up himself. The company works out of Lunenburg and takes both homeowner and landlord work. What people call for splits three ways. Stinging insects are the emergencies: a homeowner who found a swarm of aggressive bees inside the house says he responded quickly, worked calmly and made sure every bee was dealt with; another with one known hornet nest says he found two more; a third had a response within 24 hours and a visit booked immediately. Rodents are the methodical jobs — one customer with mice in the basement says the entry point was pinpointed and several other possible entrances found besides. And seasonal work rounds it out, from ants after the first hot stretch in May to yard spraying for ticks and mosquitoes. Speed is the single most repeated theme. Reviewers describe same-day service, a next-day visit, a reply to an email sent outside business hours on a weekend, and a return trip at no charge when a few ants reappeared after treatment. Several also describe the follow-up as the real difference: repeat visits to check the work, texts asking how things are going, and a "mop up" pass for stragglers. Landlords and property managers make up a striking share of the record. One firm says it has used him at over a dozen properties it manages in Massachusetts, from a 50-plus-unit apartment complex to single-family homes; another credits him with keeping a 40-plus unit building under control through peak infestation season, and a seller had a pre-sale property treated with a detailed report left behind for the buyers. On price, reviewers mention a flat rate that compared well against other quotes, no hidden fees and no upselling. Two things to know. The company is new — its written record starts in 2025, so there is no long track record to check, and everything published about it sits on a single platform. Reviewers also name two technicians, AJ and Adam, without saying whether that is one person or two, so ask who will actually be doing your work. If you want a small, owner-run outfit that answers the phone and comes back until the problem is gone, this is a strong fit. Ask for the treatment plan and the guarantee terms in writing, and confirm the Massachusetts pesticide applicator licence with the state before booking.
