A mouse ran across a kitchen floor in June 2025, and the homeowner called two pest control companies before Richie. Both, she wrote, pressured her to sign an annual contract that would have cost over a thousand dollars a year for services she didn't need. Richie charged a one-time fee. Richie Bozarjian has been doing pest control since 1989 — more than 35 years, by his own count — and runs the business out of Ward Road in Nahant as a family operation. It handles ants, rodents, bed bugs, cockroaches, hornets and wasps for homes and businesses, and names Nahant, Swampscott, Marblehead, Lynn, Beverly, Danvers and Salem as its service area. He picks up. A June 2025 customer said he came immediately when asked, diagnosed the problem, and then came back more often than scheduled until it was dealt with. Another that month said he is always available for what she called a creepy-crawly emergency, and does her annual preventive maintenance to keep it from happening. In February 2025 a customer said he responded promptly, priced the job reasonably, explained the process, and then followed up with a phone call afterwards. Mice come up repeatedly. In January 2025 a customer said Richie cleared a mouse problem faster than they thought possible; that same month another called him the best and most affordable pest control around, and the local guy who knows what he's doing. In July 2025 a repeat customer wrote that she would never use another extermination company. The written history is short and recent: eleven reviews between January 2025 and March 2026, all on Google, where the company holds a 5-star average across eleven ratings. The March 2026 one is three words long — easy to work with, fair pricing, quick results. Richie is a good call for mice, ants, wasps or a one-off infestation on the North Shore, particularly if you want a single visit rather than a contract. Ask what the one-time fee covers, whether a follow-up visit is included, and what an annual maintenance plan would run if you decide you want one.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Richie The Bugman. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Scales rodent, ant, and termite jobs; bed bugs scale by room count instead.

Richie has been an absolute pleasure to work with! He always responds and completes the job at hand. I would never use another extermination company. Him and his crew are truly the best!
I was terrified after a seeing a mouse run across my kitchen floor. I called two companies before calling Richie. They were pressuring me to sign an annual contract that would end up costing over a thousand dollars a year for services I didn't need. Richie charged a one time fee that was fraction of the cost of the others that included a six month warranty. He came right away and did his magic. It's been two months and I haven't seen a mouse since. Just to ease my mind I called Richie and asked if he would come back to check things out. He came without hesitation. He checked on his treatment and made me feel much better. I offered to pay him for the additional service. He refused to accept my money telling me the visit was included under warranty. I was floored, someone was actually not taking $$ I offered. I am lucky to have found my new pest guy that I trust 100%.
Richie came immediately the second I asked him to come. Diagnosed the problem and has been there more than scheduled to deal with the problem, 100/10 service. Can’t recommend this business enough!
Rich is always available when needed for an creepy crawly emergency. He does our annual maintenance to help prevent that! He is always responsive and is very thorough. He is friendly and respectful. We very much appreciate him and his services. Call Rich! He’s the best
