Squared Away Pest Control is Guy Raffa's veteran-owned outfit in Pembroke — he founded it in 2014 after retiring as an Army National Guard staff sergeant, and reviewers overwhelmingly talk about him personally rather than a company. It handles the full range of South Shore pest calls: wasp and hornet nests, carpenter ants, ticks and mosquitoes, mice, even roof rats. In a 2025 review, a renter described a severe hornet infestation no one else would take on — Guy showed up immediately and came back multiple times until every nest was gone, calming a customer with a bee allergy along the way. Another 2025 review describes carpenter ants in a basement getting a same-day visit, with the problem gone within two days. Other 2025 accounts describe him tracking down attic noises another company couldn't solve (birds, not mice, as it turned out) and removing a bird that had flown down a chimney by connecting the homeowner with his own HVAC contacts. The pattern across 17 Google reviews (5★ from 25 ratings) is speed and follow-through — same-day or next-day response comes up again and again, including from a customer managing 81 rental units in Weymouth and 28 in Quincy who has used him for years. There's nothing negative in the written record to flag. Squared Away is a solid call for wasp or hornet removal, or an ongoing pest contract on rental property — Guy handles calls personally, and reviewers consistently credit him by name for fast turnarounds.

The team at Squared Away could not have done a better job. We had an interior hornets nest that had become quite an issue. The guys at Squared Away showed up promptly and ready to work. They dealt with the nest without any interior or exterior damage. They were sure to follow up to ensure that we were satisfied with their work. Which we were! I would recommend their services to anyone in the south shore area in need of pest control.
I’ve worked with Squared Away a few times - specifically with Guy. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy and I’ve worked with other pest control companies where that was not the case. He eradicated mole problem I was having. Called him today to remove a bird that flew down my chimney and he went out of his way to help me out last minute- and even when he didn’t have tools handy to open up my ductwork to remove the bird- he quickly got me connected with his network of HVAC guys who could. Highly recommend Guy and his team!
I was surprised by carpenter ants that showed up in my basement and was making its way to other rooms in my house. I called Squared Away Pest Control and they had someone at my house the same day. They treated the perimeter of my house and some spots in my basement. They said I should see significant improvement in a week and the problem should be gone in two weeks. I saw a significant improvement the day after the treatment and the ants were completely eliminated inside and outside the house after two days. I highly recommend this business. They are so reliable and reasonably priced.
Guy at squared away is knowledgeable and kind. The products he used on my property for tick and mosquito control have worked well considering we live in the woods. I haven’t found one tick on my dog since.
I have been using Squared Away Pest Control for many years. they have been very responsive to our needs. I have 14 properties and they always show up when scheduled to do so. great company. I will continue to use them well into the future.
