They came and took care of my bee problem. Great service and keep me well informed about the situation and how to proceed with this situation going forward. Outstanding customer service and field support.
Technicians that come out remember how I like to treat my property. Good consistency
Mason was here 3 days in a row! So pleasant, hard worker and works quickly, as well! THANK YOU FOR HIRING MASON! I must say everyone that's been here is great. The bees were Yellowjackets mostly & attracted to the sweet scent of the Polkweed (has small flowers on it). There were LOTS of bees! I wouldn't get…
They’re very attentive and responsive! You get exactly what you pay for with professionalism and results. I’ve had multiple carpenter bees, and a big roach problem which they have tackled and I am more than satisfied with how everything has been handled. David E has been our main technician, very…
Scott did an amazing job and was very thorough. Great personality and answered any questions I had. He explained everything he did for us with the applicants and we can’t be happier with the service!
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?
Technician was awesome 💯 he went above and beyond. Explained what he was doing ..👍
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.
John Williams our technician came, was friendly, courteous, explained what he was going to do and where he was going to spray….hopefully it works. We were impressed that Fox keeps you informed with every step….i would give him a 10
Ronald is always smiling and very nice.He addressed all the concerns I had. I recommend Fox Pest Control .
Eric did a thorough inspection, refilled traps, provided helpful advice and went way beyond the call of duty.
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. He took my feedback and began providing the services. Michael was very professional, friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. I am on an annual…
I had the pleasure of working with Michael from Fox Pest Control, and I can’t speak highly enough of him! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explained everything in detail, and made sure all of my concerns…
Luis Franco did a great job treating the bee hives around my house!
Sosa is great!!!
Scott, our technician did a remarkable and thorough job in eliminating the yellow jackets burrow. Completely satisfied and would recommend Fox and Scott for similar work going forward.
They came promptly but if you don't want a subscription service they hard sell you on the first call. Bees came back within 2 weeks even though I was explicitly told that any returning bees would be killed, and that normally they'd have filled in the hole but they didn't have the material in the truck that day. It's…
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.
Stephen was very attentive and professional! He did a great job! I am very happy with his service and he is very knowledgeable and responsive to my needs! Stephen is an excellent technician!.
Michael was very professional, courteous and prompt. Very satisfied with his service today! Thank you Fox Pest Control!
Came to address targeted mice issue in shed. Did good job, but lack of communication with technician (Avery) who came up with plan of attack on how to proceed. Need to assure AVery's plan is known to any who came to my home. Dan Babbitt
Fox Pest Control has been excellent! Ashley Arroyo is wonderful! We initially had them come in to deal with issues we were having with springtails and carpenter bees. They took care of both promptly, and we have had no problems. They have been fantastic to work with and give an unbelievable peace of mind knowing…
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.
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.
Always here to do what's needed + when needed... Karen - Peabody
I was very happy with the service from Fox.
Eric Carney was very knowledgeable and was able to answer to my questions related the service and additional questions i had asked…. Thank you Eric for all the work you have done today. Really appreciate it.
Jonathan Bryant has serviced my home several times since I started engaging with Fox for quarterly pest control. He is by far the best technician I have encountered. Extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to do very thorough treatments, along with explaining what he is doing and why. Highly recommend Fox, but mainly because of Jonathan.
My technician was awesome 10 out of 10 joe is an outstanding representative for your company have had him to my house twice both times he was efficient and reliable and thoughtful well informed and shared his knowledge. Thank you for having such a great employee
Lucia is a very good technician and would like to refer fox pest control to my friends
Pablo is a very professional guy the best 100%
Pablo did an awesome job trying to get rid of the bees. Since the bee nest was underground and under a staircase, it was a difficult job but he was determined to get them. Very impressed by his work ethic. Would definitely want him to be the employee they send when needed.
Ashley was very professional and did a excellent job
Exceptional job!
Joe the tech that came was very knowledgeable about products he was using and admitted he was newer to the business. I like honesty. He did a great job and would recommend him and Fox to my friends and neighbors Thank you Fox. Jay Aptt.
Xavier did a fantastic job and explained everything thoroughly. He was awesome!
I hired Fox Pest Control through a door to door sales associate after doing some internet research on their team. The salesman sold his product thoroughly and was able to reach my budgeted price points. We sealed the deal within a one hour meeting. The services were scheduled and Cassidy came out to get the job…
Jose was professional, thorough and polite. I feel in good hands with the company's inspections and treatments.
Cass came out to do our routine treatment, but then we also had happened to have several sightings in our basement and pool house as well as the smell of a recently deceased mouse. Cass spent over 3 hours at our home, crawling into spaces in our basement that other providers never ventured, sealing gaps, setting…
Great service , excellent technician
We started using Fox for our indoor/outdoor pest control/maintenance services. We were hesitant at first because we didn't want to pay $ just to end up having "false hope with minimal to no results". We have received several plan treatments to date, and have noticed a significant reduction in our yard/outside…
Our Fox technician, Jeff, was very nice and knowledgeable. He performed the regular maintenance at our house and was happy to address additional concerns on the spot. He was flexible with his schedule and was able to accommodate us by moving our appointment time up. All of the people I have interacted with at Fox…
service tech was professional and polite. Answered all my questions and performed service well.
I used to have ants in my house in the spring and woodpeckers were destroying the trim. Neither of those things is happening since we signed up with Fox!

Excellent and professional first time service by Xavier and Corey.
Xavier and Corey showed up right on time, and got to work. They asked where our issue spots were and were attentive to the whole property. Friendly, professional, and experts in how to remove my pests. Thank you Xavier and Corey!
Xavier acted very professionally. He was easy to talk to and he explained everything he was doing before and after completing the job. Thank you for your service.
Justin did a great job on our quarterly treatment as always.

Xavier Gutierrez was amazing to work with. He did a very thorough job was very respectful and easy to talk to about the issues we were having. He even found where mice were getting into my house that 2 other companies couldn’t care to find for me. Highly recommended.
I was very pleased with Fox Pest Control. The technicians, Xavier & Logan, were professional and meticulous. The home had been long overdue for a pest control treatment and I am confident in the services that were provided.
Xavier & Logan we’re professional, on time, and responsive to all questions and concerns.
Brigham came out on Monday to describe the services they provide - he was professional as well as easy to talk with. Heidi came out today to do the service and she was very friendly and knowledgeable. She took her time with all the services.
Ben was the lead guy; he had a trainee with him. Ben was excellent with me and seemed to be coaching his trainee as well. Ben explained everything he did and why. Overall, I was very pleased with the service ...hoping the pests are not!
This was my first time hiring an extermination company so I was a little weary. Xavier arrived with a big friendly smile & suddenly I knew I made the right decision. He was super helpful, kind & took his time with all my questions & concerns & did a thorough job inside and out! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
He knocked down a hornets nest too. Xavier is professional and pleasant to work with.
Johnathan is an exceptional technician. He is very prompt, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He took care of every issue I had.
Benjamin was very friendly and professional. He must have done his homework on my property because he knew exactly where the bait traps were located. He quickly filled the ones that needed to be filled and then went on to spray the entire premises. He took his time and was very thorough.
Our technician, Pablo Fernandez, significantly exceeded our expectations. He was on his hands and knees in our home helping us find the holes where bees could be getting into our house. He took time to slowly observe the outside of our home to identify the problem. He thoroughly treated our home and helped to team…
Xavier was very through with process and explained what he was doing. Took time to educate me on what to expect. Unfortunately I might have a mice problem in my basement and Xavier put me as ease explaining how they will handle it until my problem gets resolved. Professional friendly service.
Benjamin spent meticulous time covering all my concerns and treating my property. He provided explanations, and listened to my questions. This has been by far the best experience í have had with the service Fox Pest Control provides. This technician has knowledge, insight, and professionalism that I appreciate as…
Luis Franco was very professional and informative throughout the service. He provided one of the best customer service experiences. It is evident that he cares about the clients and takes pride in his work. Would highly recommend Fox Pest Control.
I have been using Fox Pest control for about 6 months now and I am so happy with their service. Jonathan is AWESOME! and very knowledgable. He took care of our carpenter bees as well as spiders and other crawlers we were seeing. He explains every step of the way and tells you what he is applying. We get quarterly…
Our technician Luis was great!! He went right to work on removing the wasp nest from our tree then treated the rest of the house for other nasty pests that might come around. Very friendly and professional. Thank you Luis for your help. Now I don’t have to worry about getting stung 😊
Very professional. Thorough. Friendly and always on time. Lucia offers many preventive measures which we appreciate.
I have been using Fox Pest's services in and around my home for the past year after purchasing the house a year ago. The pervious owner left with a severe mouse infestation, lots of Hornets and Bees nests, as well as a yard infested with ticks. Not to mention lots lady bugs and stink bugs constantly invading the…
Luis F. did a very nice job for us today. When he saw we have a dog he even went above-and-beyond to spray flea and tick repellent around the yard. Thanks Luis!
New to using Fox but so far experience has been positive. Luis did my service today and was very courteous and professional. He inspected around the house and identified, and fixed, an access point for mice. The prior firm I had for many years always said they inspected for that but never offered to fix this…
We have used Fox for several months and multiple times for general inspection and scheduled spray. We got a service from Oscar today. He is so professional and responsible. He introduced what he would do, and even checked deck underneath for potential bee hive. After the spray, he let us know that everything is…
Very polite and professional service to work with. Knowledgeable and helpful with are yard. Would use again
Dane was great, he spent a lot of time with us going over the products. Cash came out and he was great also. Fantastic job. Thank you
Matt and Gable came out to my house for the initial inspection and treatment. While Matt began his inspection around the perimeter, Gable walked through the interior to some trouble areas and worked to treat those spaces and provide some things to look for after the treatment. They then completed the exterior work…
Cash and Ben came out to do my initial service and were very friendly and informative. They thoroughly sprayed and inspected around the outside of my house. They especially payed attention for possible wasp activity since we have a note on our account that a household member has a severe sting allergy. I feel much…

I just had Dalton H. Come and treat the house for preventative treatment. He was here exactly on time, very thorough, he found susceptive areas that I was unaware of, and checked in with me before he left. He even gave a second spray to an area in the garage we saw some activity with carpenter ants. I have had pest…
Dalton & Devin performed the initial service on our home this weekend. They did an outstanding job! They were on time, friendly, courteous and professional. They explained each step of the process for treating our property. Glad we chose FOX.
Expectation was for one person to come treat the home between the hours of 5-7 for a 5pm appointment. The team, a team of 4 (Dalton Hanks, Heidi, Duncan, and Devin) arrived right at 5pm and got the house completed done in less than 20min. The team was professional and efficient. Dalton did a great job to review the…
We were experiencing a problem with carpet beetles. Ashley happened to knock on our door and explained the whole inspection and squeezed us in the next day. The whole team was great, very professional, and friendly. Came to the rescue when we needed them. I definitely will use in the future and recommend to…

Knowing what our needs were ahead of time made it easy for them to start work right away. They explained exactly what they were doing and what we should expect to see (or not see) in the next few…
Dalton was a pleasure to deal with, very intelligent and articulate. He quickly spotted many areas of concern with regard to rat and insect infestation and explained the ways to remedy them. Lizzy, the salesperson who came to my door, was very polite and professional and also a pleasure to deal with. I felt the…
Although I usually don't write a customer feedback e-mail like this one, I'm compelled to write one about your employee, Amury who came out to hour house for the first service. I've never received such a comprehensive, courteous, professional service like what Amury provided to our house this afternoon. He went…
I had the great pleasure of having Chris Freitas from the Foxboro Location. He was such a sweet, professional and genuinely sincere young man. He took the time to listen to everything and didn't make me feel like I was a bother. I told him about a book I wrote with the help of my beautiful black lab Named Bear Joe.…
