Pest Avengers

Pest Avengers is a family-owned, Quincy-based pest control company that Corey — its owner-operator with more than nine years in the trade across New England — started in 2021. Reviews describe him as the constant thread: dozens name him personally for fast callbacks on wasp and hornet nests, wildlife in attics, and ongoing rodent and insect programs, and several customers say they've used the company across multiple houses or years. The company's current run is strong: 4.8★ across 258 Thumbtack reviews (Top Pro, background-checked, hired 823 times) and 12 straight positive reviews in the last six months alone. Recent reviews describe hornets trapped in a screen door — Corey found and cleared the nest that was forming, then sprayed the rest of the house so nothing else could form — and a property owner who says he consistently covers every area of the property on each visit. Several reviewers mention Tina in the office handling scheduling smoothly alongside Corey's fieldwork. That said, the written record has a real rough patch. In a tight stretch in September 2023, three separate 1-star reviews described serious problems: one said the company was rude and never resolved a bee infestation; a second, from a property manager, described a no-show with no call, a broken appliance the company never fixed, inconsistent explanations from different staff, and an owner who allegedly demanded the negative review be taken down before he'd pay for the repair, escalating to a threat of legal action; a third described a no-show for one unit and a technician who later shattered an oven's glass door while treating a different unit. In a June 2025 review, a customer said the advertised "3-month warranty" only covers two visits. And in a November 2022 review, one customer said a wasp problem was still active two months after service with no refund offered. None of those specific complaints repeat in the two-plus years since, but the September 2023 cluster — property damage plus a dispute over removing a negative review — is worth asking about directly, especially for a commercial or multi-unit job. For a residential wasp nest, rodent problem, or wildlife removal, the pattern in the reviews is a fast, personal response from Corey himself; for a larger commercial contract, it's worth confirming insurance coverage for any damage and getting warranty terms in writing.
