B & B Pest Control

B & B Pest Control has worked North Shore homes out of Lynn for more than four decades, according to the company — a family business the Bozarjian family says it has run since 1982, with John Bozarjian Jr. now alongside his father. The calls are the usual homeowner headaches: mice and rats in the walls, carpenter ants or termites turning up during a home sale, a wasp nest nobody wants to get near. The scale here is real: 4.7 stars across 400 Google ratings, and the last six months alone brought 18 more reviews with only one complaint in the mix. Individual technicians' names come up again and again in that recent stretch. DJ walked one homeowner through a wasp nest removal under some deck stairs in late June, then turned up again in March placing bait stations for a mouse problem and patiently answering a worried pet owner's safety questions. Kris spent months on a serious rat problem for another customer, moving from small stations in the basement through winter to larger ones in the yard once the snow melted, until the rats were gone within weeks. When a termite inspection turned up old exterior damage rather than an active infestation, technician Louie said so rather than selling a treatment nobody needed. Speed shows up too: one homeowner needed a termite clearance to close on a VA loan and had an online estimate answered within ten minutes, closing on the house two weeks later. When a first carpenter-ant treatment didn't fully take, the company scheduled a no-fuss follow-up rather than calling the job done. It isn't flawless. One May review described technicians who wouldn't investigate the attic space where a mouse problem actually started, leaving the homeowner to point out entry holes herself. A few older reviews over the company's history also mention curt phone staff or scheduling mixups — worth a mental note, even though they're outnumbered by reviews naming individual field techs (Doug, Izzy, Sean, Tommy, Dave, and Jerry in the office) approvingly. Its BBB page — filed under an older business name, The Termite Boys, though the address and phone match — carries an A+ grade without formal BBB accreditation, and it's a listed member of the Lynn Chamber of Commerce. For rodent, termite, carpenter-ant, or wasp problems anywhere from Lynn up through the North Shore, this is a company with a long paper trail and a roster of technicians customers ask for by name. Worth confirming before booking: which technician gets assigned, and what the follow-up policy looks like if a first treatment doesn't fully solve the problem.
