Pest Busters

Pest Busters is a one-person pest control operation in the Lowell, MA area, run by Derek Gracia. He says he has worked in pest control for close to eight years and started this business two years ago, handling everything himself — inspections, treatments and follow-ups. Homeowners who have hired him consistently describe fast turnaround: several reviews mention Derek arriving the same day or the next day after a call, including a hornet's-nest removal completed the day it was reported and a mouse problem addressed the morning after a Saturday call. Reviewers across both Google and Thumbtack repeatedly call his pricing fair and transparent, and several credit him with clearing out mice, ants or wasps in a single visit, with a standing offer to return within six months if pests come back. One property management company, Lennhoff Properties, says it uses Derek for all of its pest control needs and calls his pricing fair and his quality high — a signal that his work holds up for repeat, professional clients, not just one-off homeowner jobs. Beyond routine ant, mice and wasp calls, the business also lists bed bug extermination, termite inspection and control, and outdoor mosquito treatment among its services, serving both residential and commercial properties. The one exception to an otherwise clean run is a single 2026 review describing a missed appointment — the reviewer says they waited for a scheduled visit that never happened. It stands alone against roughly thirty other reviews describing prompt, professional service, but it's worth asking about if scheduling reliability matters for your timeline. For rodent, ant, wasp or general pest problems around Lowell and the surrounding area, the reviews point to a responsive, fairly priced operator who explains what he's doing and follows up if a problem returns.
