REPEL Pest Solutions

REPEL Pest Solutions is the call South Shore homeowners make when something's already in the walls or the yard — carpenter ants, yellow jackets, the mice that show up from the marsh every fall. The company describes itself as a family-run, Marshfield-based operation run by Eric and Mary Murphy, covering Boston and the surrounding South Shore towns. Speed is the through-line. One homeowner who wasn't even a client called about a carpenter ant problem after a larger competitor said it would take a week to respond — Repel was out within a day. Another described them as a go-to for recurring seasonal work: fair pricing, reliable scheduling, and yearly return visits for the mice that arrive each fall and the ants each spring. Eric and Mary are both named directly in reviews — one calls them "highly professional" with "excellent customer service," another calls Eric "an expert." That pattern holds up across a longer stretch, too. Reviews dating back to 2021 sit at a perfect 5 stars on both Google (30 ratings) and Angi (2 ratings), and the Better Business Bureau lists zero complaints filed against the business. Repel hasn't sought BBB accreditation, though, and carries no BBB rating. One thing worth asking about directly: the company's own site claims 30 years in business, while its review history and BBB record only go back to 2021. That's probably the owner's personal experience in the trade rather than this company's age as an LLC, but it's worth clarifying before booking. For the common calls — ants, wasps, mice — this reads as a company that answers the phone and shows up fast, even for people who aren't already customers. With the Angi sample this thin, most of what's actually known about them comes from Google; ask about current licensing and get a firm timeline before you book.
