Michael Scott Pest Control

Twenty Google reviews in the past six months, every one of them five stars — that's the recent run for Michael Scott Pest Control, a one-owner operation working out of Brockton. The company describes itself as family- and owner-operated, and Better Business Bureau records show the LLC has been running since 2015, serving residential and commercial customers for termites, rodents, bees, wasps, ticks, fleas, bed bugs, and cockroaches. The thing that keeps showing up is speed on stinging-insect calls: a bee-removal customer this year called it seamless, another had the whole exterior treated for yellow jackets within the promised window, and one homeowner found a wasp nest near their deck stairs the day before hosting 50 people for a birthday party and got it handled that week. Rodent jobs read the same way — a mouse entry point sealed up in one unit, an eight-family Taunton rental cleared of mice within two weeks. Regulars describe multi-year arrangements more than one-off calls: seasonal tick and mosquito yard spraying (one customer has used it since getting a dog, another for three years around a wooded lot) and repeat ant treatments that keep pools and yards bug-free through the summer. A 25-year facilities-management veteran called it the best pest control company they'd worked with, and another customer notes the business handles a large church account alongside residential homes. Google puts the business at 5 stars from 140 ratings, and the BBB lists an A+ grade with no complaints on file; the one review to fall short of five stars in the past year is still a satisfied 4-star ("on time, nice, and efficient"). The clearest thing worth noting before calling is that the business isn't BBB-accredited — it carries the A+ grade without having gone through BBB's own vetting process. It also reads as a small, hands-on outfit: reviewers consistently mention getting Michael himself, sometimes with one helper, which lines up with the owner's own description of personally servicing every account regardless of size. That profile fits the calls that need a fast, direct response — a nest that needs to come down before a gathering, a mouse problem in a rental unit, a seasonal tick program — as much as it fits an ongoing commercial account. Worth confirming timing for the specific pest at hand before booking, since a lot of the praise centers on how quickly the work gets scheduled.
