Yankee Pest Control

Yankee Pest Control has the kind of record that comes from decades in Malden — a 4.8-star Google rating from 705 ratings, a Better Business Bureau A+, and an Angi score to match. People call them for mice and rats, ants, termites, and wasp or hornet nests, often on a recurring annual or maintenance plan rather than a one-off visit. The track record leans heavily on repeat business: one reviewer cites a ten-year relationship, another a twelve-year condo-association contract, and named technicians — Kendra, Sean, Matt, Scott, John, and others — turn up again and again in reviews from customers who ask for them specifically. On the rodent side, a January 2025 review described a technician arranging a contractor to open porch access so he could seal off the actual entry points himself, not just set traps. A separate review described a wasp or hornet nest found in a tree during a routine property check, and a longtime customer credits years of termite service with good results. The record isn't spotless. In a 2023 review, a customer described three different technicians giving conflicting advice on a mouse problem that got worse before the company canceled the service; a 2026 review reported ants still present after a visit. Both stand out against a much larger volume of satisfied, repeat customers, but they're worth knowing about if a job needs to be seen through by one person. A reasonable call for ongoing pest management, especially rodent exclusion and termite work — for a persistent problem, it's worth asking whether the same technician will handle every visit.
