I had a complex pest issue that required Yankee Pest Control to work with another contractor within a tight time window (while the infested area was exposed). The Yankee tech climbed a ladder and worked side by side with the other contractor to accomplish the job. Well Done!

I love this company. This is the second time I have used them. I called around to four different companies. I had a quote in the 400s, a quote in the 500s, and one for $600! The women in the office were fabulous to work with. The tech who came out, Scott, kept me informed, told me what to expect going forward,…

We have been working with Yankee Pest for years and our house has not had any issues with bugs and specifically ants. Scott visited the house and provided advice to control ground bees. His report was complete and clear. I would recommend to anyone with a need for pest control.

John was fantastic. Not only did he take care of the items that concerned us but also performed a "home inspection" and found multiple openings thru which pests could enter. He fixed them and it was all included. No extra charge! My experience with Yankee Pest Control was 100% positive. One thing I wont have to…

John Moruzzi was terrific. I had just purchased my “new” house and was shocked to find traces of mice. Then came the ants and a nest of bees in an opening in the house. And crewed wood from termites at one time. He was clear and professional, didn’t try to sell me anything but just fix my problem. With knowing the…
