Mass Bay Wildlife Management

We had a very elusive skunk, and were nervous for our small dog. Mass Wildlife was excellent to deal with. Can’t thank them enough for sticking with it until the job was done.

Alex, the owner, is super easy to work with and provides very competitive prices. No BS, just quick good service with a guarantee in writing.

Alex visited our home to investigate a carpenter bee infestation.
While his initial application was relatively ineffective (he applied a repellent but the bees were already well-​established and some survived), he honored his verbal agreement of returning at no charge — if the application was ineffective — and applied a different solution (intended for bees which are established).
He does a great job of explaining what he is applying and seeks organic solutions when possible or a mixture of organic and synthetic when organic alone will be ineffective.
Very personable and down to earth.

Alex was the only pest control provider to successfully eradicate rodents in our home. Alex is reasonably priced, responds promptly and is extremely courteous and professional.

We had a great experience with Mass Bay! Alex was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about how to fix our issue. Basically, it was a house issue and looking at the big picture he was able to strategically figure out a solution to keep the birds from nesting under our eaves. We are so glad that we found someone to handle these wildlife situations quickly and efficiently!

Since buying our very old house 4 years ago this month we have used Mass Bay for a variety of reasons (from wasps to a squirrel setting up a home right outside our eaves). Every issue was resolved after each visit from Alex. He is dependable, efficient, friendly, knowledgable and prompt. I cannot recommend Mass Bay Wildlife more!

I’ve had services to get rid of squirrels before however, Mass Bay Wildlife Mgmt has exceeded any previous services I have had. Alex is knowledgeable and thorough. The squirrel problem was eliminated! so much so that when I had a problem with mice — I have a 100 year old house– I immediately called Alex again! Alex follows up and is very reliable. I heartily recommend you use his services!

Alex is not only great at his job, he is a great guy. I first called him because I thought I had a squirrel in my wall and I was freaking out. Alex came right out in the middle of an evening snow storm to help. (turns out it was just a mouse — woopsie) He is very thorough, very professional, and extremely reasonably priced. He is now my go — to guy when it comes to unwanted house guests. I highly recommend him.

Called Alex to come check out a hornets nest we had in the walls. He came out that afternoon, checked it out and got rid of it right away. Courteous, professional, overall great experience!!!

Alex was very prompt at returning my initial call and came the next day to assess the problem (birds in the attic). He gave us a reasonable estimate and took care of the problem very efficiently. He was completely responsive to our needs, and responded promptly to communications by phone, email and text. It turns out a baby bird had been left behind and the parents were chattering up a storm by the now covered attic vents. Alex came again the next day, captured the baby bird and released it to reunite with its parents. Happy ending. Alex is your man!

I recently purchased a historic home in Somerville. After moving in, I realized I had a major issue when I saw burrows under the front porch steps where the garbage cans were kept. Having used Mass Bay at my previous building (which was a condo), I immediately called them to come take a look. They came out the next day and upon inspection found 17 separate rat burrows under the front porch, including a nest of baby rats. Mass Bay outlined a comprehensive solution which included first dealing with exterminating the rats safely and then digging up the front yard and under the porch, removing the soil, laying down anti bacterial solutions to get rid of the smells and years of gross stuff there and then put down crushed stone so the rats could not continue to burrow. I was concerned that I would have to work with a landscaper in addition to Mass Bay to get the project done which would be costly but Mass Bay was able to provide me with a full service proposal where they did all the work. Alex from Mass Bay provided a proposal which I felt was extremely fair for the amount of work being done. During the trap and bait period, he came by on a regular basis and checked on the status of the project. When the soil removal part began, Alex found under the soil a bunch of old cobblestones dating back to when the house was built in 1889. He called me at work and suggested we should use the cobblestones to create a path in the new front yard area which looks amazing and is so nice to keep the history of the house. He also found old bricks which he used as a border in another area. In the end, Mass Bay spent 2 full days here removing over a ton of soil. They eliminated the nasty rat smell that had been coming from under the porch, poured in 5 inches of stone in the front yard and under porch and created a beautiful new front yard that is now rat free! I HIGHLY recommend Mass Bay. They provide exceptional personalized service, are professional, stick to their budget and get the job done.

I called Mass Bay Wildlife Management and two other companies I found online in the middle of the night after hearing an animal in the attic. Alex was the first to respond early the next morning and he came that day to do an inspection. He returned two times in the next week to seal the attic and to install a chimney cap. He was very knowledgeable and professional and got the job done quickly. I was very happy with his services, and I highly recommend him.

When we found a squirrel in our interior wall, I called this company based on the other Unilocal reviews. They exceeded my expectations — and it was a nice change after calling bigger, less personal/​patient companies.
Alex (owner) picked up the phone when I called, and he was very helpful and informative about our options, challenges, and things to keep in mind. Alex himself came to our house the next day, and he gave a free estimate after examining the interior, climbing up on the roof, and looking in the basement. He was professional, courteous, and knew how to handle squirrels.
After investigating, he found that our particular squirrel was gone (hooray! we’d unknowingly removed its nest the week before) so he was going to install chimney plates to prevent them from coming back. I was psyched he could do it right then/​there, to have the problem resolved completely. After he started that project, he found that the chimney needed repair before he could proceed. We’d need to call a specialist for that before he could affix the chimney caps. Bummer… He didn’t charge for the time spent on the project until that point. Before he left our house, I asked him about how to handle the hole left by the squirrel on the interior wall, he kindly offered to patch it at no charge. So nice!
In the end, he spent 90min at our house and never charged a dime. Alex is not a «hard sell» — he’s a personable, customer-​oriented guy devoted to his business. Call him!
(Once we repair the chimney, we’ll get quotes on the chimney caps needed for squirrel prevention. If competing quotes are close to what he gave, we’ll give him the business because our experience with him was so positive.)

I called this company about a year ago because my chimney cap had blown off during a storm and I thought squirrels had set up shop in there.
Alex came down the next day and was very professional. Turns out I did not have any animals living in there but my chimney cap was totally destroyed. He said he could order and install a new one for me. He measured the chimney and came back and installed a new one within the week. He guaranteed his work for a year.
It’s been about a year and I haven’t had any problems. Since then he’s helped me out with mice and other odd handyman jobs around the house. Very reasonable priced, professional and top notch work. Next time something goes wrong at my house he’ll be the first one I think to call.
