We recently had a football-size wasp nest show up on a front yard bush. When Mason came by for our regular exterior pest inspection and treatment, I told him about the nest. He then quickly and professionally removed the nest and took it with him.
Arren W. was great. He did a thorough walk-through with me throughout my property and gave helpful tips on what I can do around my house in between quarterly visits made. He took his time and sealed several potential entry points of rodents and insects. I was very pleased with his attentiveness and would highly recommend him. Thanks Arren!
I had Ron at my house today addressing a bee issue. He was amazing. Very personable and extremely kind. He was very thorough in looking for a nest and spraying to prevent further issues. Fox pest was super responsive to my problem. Thank you Ron!
As I said but couldn’t post Steve took care of sll my needs. all my need with bare boxes and bee extermination of a huge nest Job well done Steve Thanks for a great job
Mason was excellent set up bait stations removed wasps nest from attic did a outside all around the house look answered all questions
great service today from Richard Mason. He went above and beyond to make sure a column to yellow jacket is not able to build a nest inside the wall, through a siding crack. applied both liquid and powder pest killer, he even repaired the loose siding piece and blocked further wasp entry.
I’ve been very happy with the service. Everyone, from the people answering the phones to the technicians who come out, is incredibly friendly and professional. They do a great job while also being mindful of the environment, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, the service works! Highly recommend.
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.
After the service, we still see some yellow jackets crawling in from the window.
Called about a yellow jacket nest inside of a crawl space in our house that was causing yellow jackets to enter our bedroom. Was told over the phone it would be removed during service the next day. Technician came the next day and was not made aware of service call. When he looked in the crawl space and saw the nest…
9/28/26 I am so grateful to Steve on behalf of Fox Pest Control for returning to our home twice (2 and 3 weeks post initial service visit) to ensure our hidden yellow jacket nest no longer had living bees before we sealed the gap in the window frame. I feel we paid for a single service visit and received much more.…
We got to work with Timmy as we discovered wasps in my daughter's room. It was tricky for us to diagnose, and we had another technician come out a few days before who could not figure out the problem. Timmy went above and beyond! He came in first thing on a Saturday morning. He inspected the house so thoroughly…
He did an excellent job
I was fortunate enough to have James as my first tech.He is very respectful and precise in his application.Hes also friendly and I would invite him to a barbecue. Sincerely J. Jeffrey Upton
Richard Mason came out to address a potential wasp or hornet nest in our garden after my wife got stung multiple times while gardening. Richard did a fantastic job of clearing the area and treating it. He was well prepared with all the right equipment and reviewed all of the work with us. He is great and we…
Had service for wasps removal. Richard M technician did a wonderful job.
Worked with “Jonathan”, who was very easy to work with and explained exactly what he would do and what we should expect as a result. He advised us not to expect a magic switch and that this will be an ongoing process of steady improvement. We are looking forward to our next visit with Jonathan, and his expertise to…
Harrison G. was right on time for the appointment, was courteous and professional. He addressed all my requirements to satisfaction, reviewed respectfully some areas of concern, leaving a quite positive impression of his & Fox capabilities. Appreciated, Paul
The technician was thorough, professional, and courteous.The inspection and treatment was well performed..
Do not hire Fox Pest Control for wasp/hornet treatment in wall voids! They are not trained for this work! We had them at our home and they did the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do. They sprayed liquid insecticide into the external entry point. This traps the pests inside the wall without actually killing…
Ronald was very polite and informative. Walked the property with me explaining the service. Very helpful.
Throughly checked house and explained everything that would be done.
I called on a Monday and they were here 2 days later. To me, that's great and I was dealing with an issue that is extremely terrifying for me. Ron was great! He was reassuring, promised to come back to check on the issue a week later. So far, very pleased with Fox! Thank you!
Superbly professional, explained everything...made important suggestions. We really appreciate. Always thorough and complete. Thank you!
This was our first time hiring a pest control company. James was very professional. He was great with answering my questions and explaining what to expect. Great job!
They do what they said they were going to do...
Richard came today and provided excellent customer service. Very polite and cordial.
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!
I wanted to provide a great review for my Fox Tech Bernard Carter. He listened to every concern I had and explained how he was going to treat them. He spend extra time in the areas of concern and arrived promptly with texts stating ETA.
Always happy with Fox Pest Control's service.
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?
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…
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.
Very conscientious, very personable.
Service was excellent we had a good amount of wasps up in our roofline and they were taken care of great. The salesman named alek who came to our door was also fantastic, explained every part of the service very throughly and the service delivered very well. We’re very excited to get our mosquitos done with fox as well in the coming days!
James Rose at Fox Pest Control did an outstanding job responding to our issue with wasps and hornets! James communicated clearly before and during his visit, explained what we were seeing, and did an extremely thorough job making sure our house and garage were treated to prevent further issues. If we do have any…
As always the technician did a great job explaining everything he was doing around our property on May 20, 2026.
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.
We had an emergency situation with hornets and yellow jackets and Fox prioritized our home for same day service. James Rose came and sprayed everything while we were away from the house and waited for us to return to show my husband all the holes to patch up so that nothing would get into the house. We are so…
My technician Arren was fantastic. Very professional, knowledgeable, and just a genuine guy who cares about the job he did. He gets 5 stars. However, the person who sold me the service told both my wife and I the Fox Service would take care of grubs in our lawn. We spent quite a bit of time talking about it. It was…
Excellent service, friendly and knowledgeable. Arren Walsh is an asset to your company!
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.
Great customer service, very happy with everything :)
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!!!!
Everyone I've dealt with has been professional, prompt, and seamless while on my property. Xavier is the man!
Always, prompt, thorough and professional. Quick to respond to any need or additional service you might request.
I love the hard work of this team. Very friendly. This is the first time I have seen a company that actually delivers what it promises.
Aaren Walsh provided service today. He has been here before and recalled where he had placed the bait stations and took care of what was needed. Always polite and helpful. Thank you.
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. He took my feedback and began providing the services. Michael was very professional, friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. I am on an annual…
Xavier is knowledgeable, thorough, an excellent communicator. Very happy to have him working with us. Russell did the periodic service
Ronald is extremely thorough with his service! Very friendly and always willing to go above and beyond.. fox has always done right by us and takes care of any pest problem we have
The inspections and treatments went smoothly.
We called to have a tech remove yellow jacket nests. We’ve been stung and someone in our home is allergic. The tech was nice but not qualified. He removed a faux nest we had hung on the roof overhang!!! It’s clearly plastic. Believe it or not that faux nest has stopped them from building on the overhang. He then…
Sosa was an amazing technician, he was very respectful, professional, listened to all my concerns, and answered any questions I had with confidence. He treated my home for yellow jackets and gave some great advice on how to keep them at bay. Highly recommend fox pest control, ask for Sosa!
Kurt was great! Knows his stuff, took time to explain and update me, clearly takes pride in his job and nothing was too much effort. Extremely impressed, thanks Kurt.
Michael arrived out yard and he was great! informative and thorough even in pouring rain.
Jim R was extremely courteous and respectful of our home. He did a great job removing a wasp nest from the highest point of our roof. Thank you Jim
Mason Binder of Fox Pest Control did an excellent job today at my house, and wrote a comprehensive report for me, including several pictures. I really appreciate his service.
Very good, courteous & pleasant
James was great. Zero complaints. A professional. A gentleman.
Excellent, quick and efficient! The wasps are gone - thank you very much!!
Jim kept us apprised of everything he was doing and we hope it takes care of the problems we have been having.
Carlos is an amazing technician. He was not only professional but friendly. Looked me in the eyes when he talked to me and gave me great information (and made me laugh a couple of times too!) It's nice when you get a tech you feel comfortable being around.
Our wasp nest was in a challenging location yet Carlos was able to quickly and efficiently mitigate the problem. Fox Pest is fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and dedicated employee.
Great Service. Extremely Helpful & Knowledgeable.
Ronald was a nice and friendly guy, he did his best to tackle this problem by spraying liquids and dust. Will have to wait to see the results.
I commend my technician for braving the wasp nest in my yard. I was stung several times as I was cutting grass and forgot about them living in the ground. He put both a granular treatment and an aerosol, so it should drive them into permanent hibernation. I hope. He was very stylish in his bee suit.😊
Kyson took care of us and was very thorough. Give this man a raise. Thank you
My technicians were so personable that I felt they were like family! They are always kind and supportive of all my needs. Thank you!!
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.
Ask do Jonathan…Excellent!
From start to finish a professional and effective job. Ashley was extremely thorough and explained the service in understandable terms when she arrived at our home. Not only did Ashley arrive completely prepared for the task at hand ..in addition she identified possible problem areas around the entire home. From…
Mason came on an emergency basis to deal with a yellow jacket infestation in my home. He was well prepared, polite and excellent. He is an incredible asset to the company!
Fox was super responsive and worked me into the schedule the next day! Xavier Gutierrez came by and was very personable and did a great job addressing the issue. Initially I was shopping around and I’m glad I went with Fox and will definitely continue to be a repeat customer.
If I could give Daouda more than 5 stars I would. He was the 2nd person Fox sent to get rid of a yellow jacket & hornet problem I was having. He spent 2 hours spraying my house and made sure they were gone. Fox needs more workers like Daouda in their company
Zachary was great.
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.
