Our Rating
Massey Services may be the newest of the big names in the pest control industry, but the company ranks well for everything, and only falls short in our ratings because of its relatively localized reach and an occasional report of customer service issues.

Cost
Pest control costs vary by property, location, and type of pest issue, but online reviewers do mention that Massey’s estimates and prices tend to come in lower than other pest control companies they’ve worked with. In addition, the company neither requires nor pressures its customers to buy an annual contract, and offers good single-use options for those not interested in ongoing service. What’s more, Massey offers free inspections for both pest control and lawn services, both of which ultimately lower pest control-related costs, and their 30-day satisfaction guarantee includes complimentary re-treatment. If issues are not resolved after 30 days, the customer has the option of a full refund or continued free re-treatments until the problem is fully addressed.
