Security Pest Elimination is a family-owned pest control company that has served Massachusetts since 1993, roughly 33 years in business as of 2026, and its own site says it also serves Southern New Hampshire, though no specific NH towns are named. In August 2026, the business was acquired by Catseye Pest Control and now operates as part of that company's family of brands while continuing under its original name.
Across dozens of five-star Google reviews spanning 2022 through 2026, homeowners repeatedly name and praise the same handful of technicians — Jim, John Santoro, John Maher, Raymond, and Jose Centeno among them — for arriving on time, explaining their work, and solving the specific problem at hand: carpenter ants, mice, yellowjackets, wasps, and bees. Several reviewers describe long relationships with the company, including one customer who has used its annual carpenter-ant barrier treatment for 18 years without a repeat infestation, and another who has had a technician visiting for more than a decade.
For urgent situations, more than one reviewer reported a technician arriving within two hours of calling, including for an active bee infestation inside a home. In one 2024 review, a homeowner said a technician correctly identified a suspected termite problem as flying ants instead, explained how to tell them apart, and didn't charge for the visit.
One reviewer, in an April 2025 review, said they were billed for a second home's worth of service after an additional structure on the property was treated as a separate home rather than a garage — worth clarifying up front for anyone with more than one structure. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as A+ accredited, and Google shows a five-star average across 61 ratings, with no negative reviews among the five posted in the last six months.
For Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire homeowners dealing with ants, rodents, bees, wasps, termites or bed bugs, this is a company with technicians customers ask for by name and a long history of repeat business — worth confirming current ownership and service details given the 2026 Catseye acquisition before booking.
