My name is Maryellen and I have been a customer of New England Pest Control for the past 6 years. I have two homes and I have nothing but praise for anyone that I have ever dealt with at your company. My most recent experience was this past Saturday when Phil came out and did a quality control visit on my property. He was fantastic as he checked over my entire residence, both inside and out, and went over my plan with me. Along with him, I have had pleasant dealings with any of the technicians…

I am writing to let you know how impressed I am with one of your service technicians who just completed two services for me. Though I only know his first name as Jason, I can tell you that you have a real asset working for you there. Jason arrived promptly as requested, described what he intended on completing with his new mosquito killing application, and quickly went to work. Though a young man, Jason was very knowledgeable, respectful and courteous; qualities that many of the young seem to…

We just wanted to inform you that we at Primary Flow Signal are very pleased with the service that we receive from Big Blue Bug Solutions. A couple of years ago we had an issue with mice in the offices and thanks to the capable efforts of Joe Villani we have not had any such incidences in many months. Joe stops in once a month and always updates us on what is going on with the bait and traps that he has located throughout the property. We would also note that Joe is a good representative of your…

I just wanted to share a client "testimonial" with you. We are a new customer of yours and have contracted your services for the next year. We called you for a follow up and you were able to have Nick come to our house the same day, last minute. Not only are we appreciative of that, but wanted to let you know how professional and knowledgeable Nick was during his visit. We wanted Nick to be our "regular" technician, but understand that he primarily deals with commercial accounts. If that changes…

I just wanted to take a minute to commend one of your sales representatives, Nathan Jewett. I have been having a problem recently and Nathan came to my house last Tuesday to talk about it and do an inspection. I was extremely impressed by his knowledge, thoroughness and professionalism. Unlike my old pest company, he actually was helpful and knew what he was talking about. I also had a very helpful conversation with Tony in the Providence office. After Nathan left, it was a no-brainer; I…
