I received a quote for trapping & removal of raccoon mother & babies of $295. Chris the main technician was great. He explained everything. All my good ratings relate to him. We spoke about exclusion work once the family was gone. My problem is that the exclusion never occurred. I was under the impression that it was going to be done. Chris was going to give me a name of a contractor to perform a formal repair (that I understood would be additional monies), the wire mesh exclusion would be done as an interim. I did receive a bill for additional $250 but thought it was for the exclusion work, so I wasn’t going to pay until the exclusion was completed. In the meantime squirrels took up space a month later. After several bills & one threatening my credit, I called and spoke to 1 woman ( I believe Penny) who took my calls, but none from Norma the office manager. I was told by Penny the additional money due from the repeated bills was for original trappings. We sorted out everything. I had no issue with paying for the additional trappings (even though I was quoted & signed the contract for a lesser amount). But the real reason for the bad review, is because Penny told me they would come back & eliminate & exclude the squirrels that have taken up residence in the space from the raccoon family for a reduced amount. When I got the new quote, there was absolutely no discount! The price was the same amount for 1 squirrel ( I had told them I saw at least 2) that I paid for the raccoon family & the exclusion was additional. I felt that had the job been completed as originally discussed, I wouldn’t have needed to have squirrels evicted for an additional full charge. I am vey disappointed in the miscommunication by the office staff, despite the great service of the technicians.

Response from Freedom Pest Control
Hello [Member Name Removed], I am sorry for any miscommunication or misunderstanding as to the process and cost of service. The trap fee for 1 animal only was $295, you had a family which needed to be removed and the total trap fee for a family is $545. We left several messages once the trap service had ended to collect the balance due for the trap portion of the service and to discuss the cost of closeout. There was a 6 month lapse from the time we started the job and the date you reached us to pay the balance due on the trap portion of your service. I had left several messages and sent an invoice monthly from July 2017 to January 2018 with no response. I could not provide a closeout service without payment of the balance due and a conversation with you in regards to the closeout, payment and scheduling. We make every effort to provide the best service possible, we understand time gets away from us and we sometimes simply do not get around to responding to messages as individuals. We did not hear back from you until you felt there were animals entering in the same area and at that time too much time had lapsed and additionally our original service was for a completely different animal to consider the issue a part of the original service for which we still had a balance due. When you received the new quote, if you had a question regarding the pricing; we would have been happy to have discussed and reviewed the new quote to see if we could apply any discount. I am sorry if a discount was originally offered and then not included, I am sure this was an oversight on our end. Once again several months have passed and we never heard back from you once we sent over the new quote. If you are still having an animal control issue, Pennie or Dan will be happy to discuss service with you. Respectfully, Norma Ballway Freedom Pest Control

Called Freedom for a 2nd opinion after a competitor told me I had termites and treatment would be $3300. Dave inspected and found a small bit of dry rot. Not termites at all. Was either being scammed or dealing with unknowlegable people. Freedom Pest saved me thousands. Couldn't be more impressed.

I am confused by your review. I have searched my data base for your address as well as a search with your name and I cannot find any record of you having contacted Freedom Pest Control or that we had inspected your home for any pest control issue. I would appreciate the opportunity to address your issue and to verify that we provided an inspection and quote to service your home. According to the correspondence you shared with Angie's List, we had quoted a cost of $699 which does not match our pricing structure. Please reach me at 978-887-7900 at your earliest convenience. I look forward to speaking with you. Norma Ballway Freedom Pest Control

Description of Work: They came out this last time to check on their traps. My cats kept bringing up mice. When they looked down there, most of the bait had been taken, which is good. I hadn't seen anymore mice.

I am so sorry that I am just seeing this. There is some prep that should be completed for flea service, I would expect it would not have taken no more than a day or two. I am sorry that there was a definite miscommunication here and will address the issue with my staff. I am glad you were able to have the issue resolved. Again, please accept my apologies and please, if you should need service in the future ask for me directly when you call in. Thank You, Norma Freedom Pest Control

Description of Work: Spayed permitted of yard for ticks 3x throughout the year. Workers did as expected and were quick and thorough. Had two issues. First, dates kept changing when they were supposed to come and I felt like if I didn't keep emailing they would not have come. Only initial spray did they come same week as they stated. Other times were several weeks delayed. Second issue I anticipated is I didn't see a noticeable difference in amounts of ticks after doing this treatment. I still found ticks on my dogs as I usually do in the summer. Just nature and may not be reflective of freedom pest.

I am sorry there seems to be have been a miscommunication regarding the service schedule. Ticks are treated 3 times a year, the first treatment is in May-June. The second is sometime in July or August and the final round is completed in late September to October. There is no set schedule and we move the appointments dependent on weather and location. If a customer is having a continued issue with ticks after services have been completed; we would expect a telephone call to report a problem and I would have been happy to provide additional treatment as needed. I am sorry your experience was not stellar and am happy to work towards a solution to rectify any issues..

We were having a serious problem with wasps in the back of the house. We have a deck in the back and whenever we sat out there we were swarmed by wasps. They had built nests under the gutter guards. When the technician arrived, on time, I told him where I thought the nests were. He got a ladder and thoroughly checked out both the back and the front of the house. Then he told me what he was going to do and suggested I close doors and windows for awhile. When he was done, he told me to give it a week or two to let the application reach all the wasps as they come and go from the nest. The technician was professional and informative. Later on, in October, there were more wasps but this time in the front under the gutter guard. Since we got the yearly service, there is no additional cost if there is another problem. I called again and told them the problem. I was working a lot then but the woman I spoke with was very helpful in finding a way to get the job done even with my busy schedule. We will most definitely use them again.
Description of Work: The technician came to the house at the time we were told they would come. I told him about the problem we were having and where I thought the wasps were coming from. He thoroughly checked under the eaves both in the back of the house, where the problem was, and in the front as well. He told me what he would do and how he would do it.

I was very impressed with Freedom Pest Control, from my initial conversations with them (they seemed very knowledgeable and had upfront pricing), to the service (heat treatment), to a few follow-up calls (I was concerned a few bugs seemed slow to die). They were always very nice on the phone, quick to return calls, left my apartment in great shape when they left, and generally made me feel like I was in good hands and getting what I paid for. I would definitely recommend them!
Description of Work: Freedom Pest Control did a heat treatment for Bed Bugs in my ~700 sq foot Boston Condo. This consisted of them heating up my entire condo to 150 degrees for four hours, and doing some minor pesticide spraying around the baseboards. They also came for two follow-up visits to address some concerns I had about some slow-to-die bugs. I am happy to report my condo is now bed-bug-free.
