I cannot recommend Dan and Lighthouse Exterminators highly enough. We were dealing with a terrible rat infestation in our home in JP, and after hiring another company that charged us a fortune and accomplished virtually nothing, we were frustrated and desperate for a solution. Dan was a breath of fresh air. He came out almost immediately and, rather than simply setting traps and hoping for the best, took the time to understand the problem and figure out how the rats were getting into our house. He suggested that we request a free sewer smoke test from the city—something the first company had never even mentioned—which ultimately pinpointed the source of the infestation. Dan then returned, sealed the opening, and exterminated the remaining rats. Throughout the process, Dan was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in solving their problems. His pricing was also extremely reasonable. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would recommend Lighthouse Exterminators without hesitation to anyone dealing with a pest problem.

Expert Hornet & wasp extermination in Boston, MA
Hornet and wasp extermination is one of the most urgent pest calls homeowners across Boston, Revere, Chelsea, Lynn, and the surrounding area make each season. Colony populations peak in late summer, and nests found near entryways, under eaves, in wall voids, or in trees become more aggressive as the season progresses. Boston-area homes, including older triple-deckers and densely built neighborhoods, give bald-faced hornets, paper wasps, and yellowjackets plenty of sheltered spots to build. Lighthouse Exterminators LLC starts with a property inspection to locate active nests, including hidden ones in wall voids or attic spaces. We identify the species, assess nest size and location, then apply targeted treatment to eliminate the colony. After the colony is handled, we remove the nest completely. Leaving an empty nest behind can draw new colonies looking for an established site. We also point out conditions on your property that attract stinging insects, so you know what to address. Call Lighthouse Exterminators LLC to get a wasp or hornet problem handled the right way.
