Boris Pest Control

I am not sure how these folks have 5 stars — must be cousins and family members.
I hired them for one of my Multi-​family units and they did a TERRIBLE job. All they did was put some poison and traps — thank you — but I could have easily done that myself and saved me $ 550. To their defense, the guys that did show up were pleasant and friendly.
They offer a 3 months warranty which is useless because they never fix the problem to begin with. So even offering a year warranty would be the same. The funny part is the last time I called (RIGHT after the warranty was over) and that was my 3^rd time calling about the same exact problem, I asked if there is anything different we could do to resolve the problem instead of simply putting more traps, their receptionist pulled a «Oh your warranty just finished sorry» — that’s it. They never even bothered figuring out the root cause of the issue.
This is a company that obviously does not live up to its promise and I’ll be sure to never work with them again (and that includes all my network as well).

I would like to share my personal experience with the woman owner of this company. I was parked outside of her driveway one afternoon for no more than 1 minute while my husband dropped a set of keys off.
The owner can out, rapped at my window, started berating and shouting profanities at me. When she noticed that I was Asian she said «in this country we do not park in other people’s driveways». I was appalled and offended. I also had 3 children in my car under age 5.
There are plenty of other pest business in town so I leave the decision up to you if you want to support a business owner like this.

Forget Terminix or Orkon or any of those big corporation type places. Boris is a local/​familyish type business and therefor the technicians really care and put their heart into getting a job done. I am a landlord in Dorchester and have used Boris for several years now. I made my first call to them about 4 years ago when I had a family of rats set up shop under my front porch. I had been disappointed by other companies in the past but a local told me to call Boris. I knew I called the right people when they met me at the house that morning and the technician told me from about 10 feet away that he knew I had rats because he could smell them! I couldn’t smell what he was talking about– his scope of knowledge was so precise on pests though he even knew their distinct smell! I was impressed. I thought the job was a hopeless cause and that I’d be dealing with this for years– but they solved the issue with confidence. Again, just this week I had a problem, this time with mice. I called Boris with confidence. My tenant originally freaked out thinking it was a rat– but it took Boris less than 10 minutes to use their professional judgement that it was just a mouse. They are taking care of the mouse issue but helped put our mind at ease in no time too that it was not in fact rats! They also charged me $ 50 less than what they quoted over the phone. You’d be foolish not to go with Boris.

These guys are great. They come when called, are friendly, courteous and do whatever it takes to get the job done. I highly recommend them if your having pest issues!

Three guys showed up to our three unit apartment building, got the job done and informed us of everything we needed to know. Friendly, helpful — great guys! Definitely would recommend them for any job.

I’ve actually used these guys a few times over the years — they were the pest control company my condo building in Brighton always used (1990’s), I used them in my place in South Boston for a mouse problem in 2000, and I just used them again at my place in Melrose this weekend for another mouse problem.
These guys are super nice, responsive, professional, knowledgeable, reasonable, and explain everything. I highly recommend Boris Pest Control

I’ve used these guys for mice several times and always had good results. They’re courteous and thorough, and they get the job done. Once I had to take advantage of the 3-​month guarantee and they did it cheerfully without giving me any grief.
Not cheap, but if you live in an old house, you’re gonna need pest control sooner or later, and it’s worth spending money on.
