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.

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…"

At every step you (from initial phone call to the inspection) and your people were skilled and wonderful to deal with-they are great. I especially want to send kudos to inspector Michel Wery; he was thorough and provided great interaction with my elderly residents. Again, thank you and it is always my practice to send praise…"
