Pestex Inc

The name that keeps showing up in Pestex's reviews isn't the company's — it's Mike G's. Property managers and homeowners across the MetroWest area describe the same pattern: a specific technician on a recurring schedule, requested by name, who knows the account. Pestex is a family-owned pest control and wildlife removal company based in Framingham that says it's on its fourth generation, with an on-staff entomologist. The company works residential and commercial jobs across Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, and Worcester counties, per its own site, and BBB records show the business started in 1991 — 35 years in business — with an A+ rating and BBB accreditation. The volume backs up the reputation: 4.8 stars across 173 Google ratings, and a review history running to 103 write-ups since 2021 across four sources. The last six months alone brought 18 new reviews with zero negative ones. What stands out isn't just the star count — it's the specificity. One technician, LeDereck Johnson, used a flashlight to trace a mouse's entry point to a pinhole in a cinderblock wall behind the foundation and sealed it from both sides. Another, Henry, traced a squirrel-caused ceiling leak to its source after three other professionals couldn't find it. A commercial customer in business 54 years said Pestex has been their only exterminator for the last 30 of them. Wildlife and rodent exclusion work is where the detailed praise concentrates — squirrels in attics, mice through foundation gaps — more than routine bug treatments, even though ants, bed bugs, ticks, and termite work (Pestex is a Certified Sentricon Specialist) are also part of the business, alongside QualityPro and GreenPro certifications. One thing worth asking about before booking: Pestex's BBB profile also carries a customer complaint describing an ongoing, unresolved rat infestation — a reminder that even a company with this much positive volume isn't complaint-free. For a specific wildlife intrusion — squirrels, mice, bats — or a standing commercial pest contract, Pestex's track record is deep and its recent run is clean. Ask who your assigned technician will be, since so much of the praise here ties to specific individuals, and ask directly how they'd handle a case that drags on rather than wrapping up quickly.
