Truly Gone

Truly Gone is a Medford-based pest control company that says it's Massachusetts-licensed and insured, offers same-day or next-day appointments, and uses kid- and pet-safe treatments across a wide swath of Greater Boston. Every review on file — 28 of them, all from the past year and a half — is five stars, and a striking number describe the actual problem in detail rather than just praising the service. In an October 2025 review, a wasp nest that had lived inside a garage wall for months, resistant to the homeowner's own attempts to clear it, was handled by Derek and Dan while the customer was at work, with no recurrence since. Another October 2025 review described two yellowjacket hornet nests inside a home's structure — one in the soffit with hundreds of hornets streaming in and out, the other behind an entry-door casing — serious enough, given a family member's bee allergy, that the homeowner had resorted to vacuuming up hornets before calling. A commercial customer, in a March 2026 review, had Dan diagnose and treat a cockroach source at an office building with a combination of baits and traps. More recent reviews describe a same-day mouse call, a first-time customer's tick and mosquito treatment after switching from a national competitor, and a stubborn ant infestation, from late 2025, that other attempts hadn't fixed. A few named technicians — the two Dans, Joe, Derek, Christopher — turn up across multiple reviews, and several customers specifically mention trying other exterminators or a national brand first without success. Google shows 5★ from 37 ratings, and its site lists National Pest Management Association membership. There's no documented complaint anywhere in the record, which is worth noting honestly alongside the fact that the review history is still relatively short, starting in 2025. For a same-day fix on an active infestation — wasps in a wall, mice, a stubborn ant problem — the pattern in the reviews points to a responsive, thorough crew.
