Pesky Critters Pest Control

Pesky Critters Pest Control is a family-owned residential and commercial pest control company based in Wilmington, Massachusetts and Raymond, New Hampshire, licensed to operate in both states. The company's own site says it was founded in 1998 (the Better Business Bureau's file dates the sole proprietorship to 1996), and it remains family-run today under the Lavalle family — Jim Lavalle appeared in a 2017 local radio interview as managing partner, and reviews describe both Jim and his father doing hands-on visits. Reviews from 2022 through 2026 are consistently glowing, describing quick response times, thorough explanations of the treatment plan, and technicians willing to handle the job hands-on — one reviewer described a technician catching a mouse bare-handed and removing it on the spot. Multiple reviewers, including a property manager overseeing several communities, describe using the company for years and call it reliable and knowledgeable. A 2024 review specifically credits a technician named Scott with a punctual, professional cockroach treatment in an apartment. The Better Business Bureau lists no complaints, reviews, or government actions against the business, though its file carries no rating due to insufficient information rather than any negative mark. There's nothing in the record to flag as a concern — every review found is positive across several named technicians and job types. Homeowners dealing with rodents, insects, or a recurring pest issue have a consistent, multi-year track record to go on here.
