Pestex leans heavily commercial — apartment communities, storage facilities, restaurants — though residential calls for mice, ants, wasps and the occasional groundhog run through the same crew. One name comes up more than any other: Mike Garneau, called "Mike G" across dozens of reviews, described repeatedly as the technician property managers request by name and keep for years. The record runs 103 reviews since 2021, a 4.8★ average across 173 Google ratings, and a Better Business Bureau A+. The specifics back up the volume: mice trapped and re-trapped until entry points get sealed, carpenter ants and sugar ants that a 2025 review said cleared "quicker than anticipated," and a squirrel that had gotten into an attic through a spot near a ceiling leak, tracked down and sealed by a technician named Henry. A 2021 review described a groundhog evicted from under a shed with a buried hardware-cloth barrier rather than poison, and a 2023 review described a yellow-jacket job that turned out tougher than expected — wasps entering through a gap in a fascia board — that got escalated to a technical manager once the first two treatments didn't fully solve it. In a 2022 review, a customer described bringing in an unidentified bug for a technician to examine under a magnifier and match against a reference book before ordering treatment. One 2025 review, unrelated to any actual pest job, complained about a branded company vehicle driving aggressively while the driver was on a phone — a conduct complaint rather than a service one, and the lone non-five-star mark in the record. A reasonable call for a recurring commercial pest contract or a one-off wildlife, ant, or wasp problem at home; ask to be assigned a specific technician if a property manager's recommendation points you to one.
