Matt did a great job spraying for ants and other insects that have occasionally snuck into my house. He said he sparyed for other kinds of bugs as well. I haven't seen mice or rats for quite a while (🙏🙏🙏🙏). He didn't charge me anything because I have automatic payments already set up. (On a previous visit…
Don’t use Fox Pest Control. They are not a local company. You can never call them directly and only get a call center in Utah. I signed a contract for mosquito and tuck spraying and it was working until they sent a technician in the rain who ever sprayed the front yard and barely the back in August. They hadn’t to…
Jay was very knowledgeable, professional, respectful and personable. He was also extremely thorough. He thoroughly checked the interior areas I pointed out to him, due to ongoing mice issues. He also sprayed the exterior of the house, and tended to the lawn with insect product. Jay checked with me upon arriving…

Scott was very friendly, professional and efficient. He explained and documented his procedures very clearly.

Russ was on time and did a great job explaining the source of our bug issue. He sprayed inside our kitchen, and then also swept and sprayed around the outside where we have many spiders and web issues. We just recently developed an ant issue in our paved walkways and he sprayed there as well. We appreciated the…
Always happy with Fox Pest Control's service.
Very helpful. Explained services being applied. Friendly and polite. Great technician!
Once again Mason did a great job. He knows where all the bait stations are located and he quickly went to work checking them. He then sprayed the property for ticks and ants and other pests. He is always very thorough and takes the time to listen to and address my concerns. I do want to mention that since Fox…
Alex Osorio is amazing. He is knowledgable, respectful, kind, prompt and professional. I am very happy to have him service my home and yard.
Tech was nice and explained all he was doing. He was quick. He was here and then gone. I question all the services because the bee hive is still there in the back corner of the house?
Russell did a great job! He also answered all my questions and provided useful information. Thanks!
David Johnathan Rodriguez is an excellent and knowledgeable technician. So personable as well. Would highly recommend his service!

Technician did a great job. He focused on the areas I asked. He was very professional and polite. Job well done.
Always great service and a pleasure!
Tech is always informative. Always on time Offered great advice . Weather had not cooperated nothing but rain rain rain so hopefully it didn't wash away outsides application (NOT a tech issue just a New England weather issue) He's understanding of weather totally backs up his work if it rains he says no worries…
My kitchen suddenly had a big ant infestation this week, so I immediately called Fox Pest Control. Mason arrived at my home within 2 hours, assessed the situation, and treated both inside and outside the house. By that evening the ant problem was gone! I am amazed and, of course, a very happy customer!! Thank you, Mason!!!
The tech did a good job and treated all of the areas I was concerned with.
Tech was on time, very polite and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all my questions and addressed all of my concerns. So far so good.
I cannot thank Eric enough for all the work he has done!!!
Excellent service and communication.
It was a pleasure meeting Jim Rose. He is very pleasant and professional. He took the time to listen to my concerns and then he explained every step that he would take to address those concerns. He is one of the reasons that we would recommend Fox Pest to others.
Eric was awesome, very professional, thorough and informative. Couldn’t have been better. Thank you!
Kieran was very courteous, well put together, respectful of my property. He answered all my questions and addressed my concerns without haste or cutting corners. He was on time and communicative of his schedule.
Eric did a thorough inspection, refilled traps, provided helpful advice and went way beyond the call of duty.
Excellent service and great technician (Scott)!
Sosa came to my house within the time window we were given and answered all of my questions prior to starting our service. We haven’t had any ants since he treated our house. We plan on having him back to spray our yard for mosquitos. Great service and knowledgeable staff!
Eric was thorough and knowledgeable of property having been here before. He informed me of what treatment was needed for the outside, after completing the inside.
James was friendly, professional, and I felt confident in his assessment of our needs. I feel that this has been a good decision, and am looking forward to continued good service.
I had the great pleasure of working with Sosa, he came out explained to me how all the products worked, the process of the services and the expectation that came with them. Sosa was very knowledgeable and very professional and I would gladly recommend fox to anyone else based off the professionalism of Sosa. 10/10
Both of the Techs Xavier and Harrison were very personable and did a great job taking care of the required pest control activities in and around our home. Fox Pest Control services have done a good job and worth engaging them to take care of regular ongoing pest control activities.
The techs from this company are always thorough, friendly and careful. The treatments are effective!! We had Ron today. Very thorough, and explained the work to be done
Eric provided a fantastic stating with the bait boxes in the attic and ending with the spray in the back yard. Is also looked for yellow jacket on the property. Very pleased, thanks Eric!!!!

Always, prompt, thorough and professional. Quick to respond to any need or additional service you might request.
The technicians Dalton and Asher were very professional and thorough. I was in my driveway when they showed up and they immediately came over and introduced themselves. They explained the treatment that they were going to do and asked if I had any problems or concerns. They took care of everything. Before I started…
Michael Culon arrived promptly to perform both my indoor and outdoor services. He explained what services he was providing and asked if I had any areas of concern.

Eric was very thorough, pleasant, professional & took his time to be sure everything was completed. Also took the time to actually educate me on items to look for and how to determine actions.
It was great. The technician gave me a complete explanation of what and why he was doing and answered all my questions. He was very professional
I dont know what the bad reviews are about but here is my experience. Im in Central Mass. In a woodsy town. A young man (Christian Jackowski) came to my door to sell me this service, I usually turn people away immediately but my outside ant (pavement, etc) problem over the years has had me fed up. The stress…
Luis Franco did a great job treating the bee hives around my house!
Sosa listened to my concerns and taken steps to address them with patience. Thanks Sosa.
The guys always show up on time , whatever they are using at my house is working amazingly no bugs no spiders no nothing , highly recommend, price is fair
Russel was great! Very personable and pleasant and took care of our needs without issue. The service was quick and efficient without interruptions. He saw that we had children and pets and was very informative about the products being used.
Michael provided top notch service!
Michael C. was great. He was super efficient to treat the ants in my house and also did the routine treatment outside. He also took time to explain a few things I can do to mitigate them returning. This is Foxs second time treating “pests” this summer.
Sosa is great!!!
On time, polite and professional. Seemed to make a competent diagnosis of the problem and treated it correctly. Worked quickly and cleaned up after.
Jimmie was very thorough and professional in explaining what he was going to do and looks like the little ants have been sent scurrying...don't mess with the Jimmiester.
Excellent job on this rainy/snowy day. Even waded out to my shed to refill the mouse bait box. Thank you very much! (update) Another great job eliminating ants getting into the house and getting rid of a yellow jackets nest in our gerden.
Chris K took great care of us for our yard enjoyment service. I spend a ton of time outside and haven’t been bitten by any mosquitos at our house — but when I walk my dogs around the neighborhood they swarm me — so I know the treatment is effective! Plus, my dogs are tick-free! Thanks, Chris!
Excellent, knowledgable, and speedy service. I've had other pest control services before, but I love the customer service and care of Fox Pest the best. Quarterly they take care of the inside and outside of my house for pests such as mice and ants. I love their monthly summer service with use of natural products…
Mike was thorough and knows his stuff.
Jonathan Bryant did a fantastic job today, treating for ants and wasps. Very thorough, knowledgeable and helpful.
We had a sudden burst of ant activity in the house, so we booked a special service call with Fox. The tech, Ron, arrived on schedule and discussed with us the problem and the plan of action. He was very professional and took into consideration our particular concerns. He did a treatment which addressed the…
My darling son bought a trailer and brought it home along with ants! We had just had our quarterly visit from Fox Pest when we realized we now had ants! I called them, they came and took care of the problem, free of charge! You don’t have customer service like that anymore!
Luis was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful and understood my ant problem. He was attentive, listening to my concerns and responded very well by providing a very high level of service. Good Job Luis.
Very thorough. Went through all of my concerns.
Recommended! Excellent service. The technician performed very professional!
Jason Ortiz was very helpful and pointing out possible problems where mice might be coming in. He was very polite.

Excellent professional service. Thank you!
Michael Colon was my technician - his communication about the work that he did at my home was great.
Jeff was great and very attentive to my needs, covering all areas of concern and more. My urgent call did not go unnoticed and he arrived next day. The in house ant problem disappeared within a few hours. I’ve been a customer for many years and they never disappoint . Thank you Jeff and Fox !!

Overwhelm with ants
Was able to get a combo deal that included all the services for reasonable rate. Xavier was great!
Gilbert did an amazing job. He took the time to listen and did a great job.
Dalton was prompt, courteous and professional. He performed a comprehensive inspection of the property and pointed out steps we could take to prevent future infestations. I actually appreciated the door-to-door sales strategy. This task was among many things on my to-do list and the visit by the salesperson prompted me to get it started.
Fox has always been very responsive and accommodating with appointments and any additional visits required due to unexpected 'visitors'. I've been with them on their quarterly plan for multiple years now and would recommend them.
Very happy with the price and service. The technician, Xavier was professional and courteous. He took the time to fully explain what he was doing, ask if we had any questions. Highly recommend Fox Pest Control to my friends and neighbors.
The Technician was very informative about the service that was provided. He performed his job efficiently and quickly.
Always here to do what's needed + when needed... Karen - Peabody
Jonathan was great today, as usual! His extensive knowledge and years of experience have been invaluable to me. In my opinion, allowing Jonathan to pass on his expertise to other technicians would be a smart move on the company's part. He doesn't just throw down chemicals that could harm my pets or koi. He has…
The Boston team is one of the best. Our property has been serviced by them and we work routinely with Ashley Arroyo. She is meticulous and very knowledgeable. I greatly appreciate that she is very thoughtful and never rushes through her work. It is rare to see someone who takes absolutely pride in her work. We are…
I was very happy with the service from Fox.
Xavier just provided our summer service. Before he began, he asked if there were any specific needs we may have. He was caring, attentive and thoroughly professional from start to finish. A pleasure to be around.
