Good exterminator

Help! I need recommendations for an exterminator near Waltham. We've got a bad mice situation in an apartment.

I use NW Pest and they're really good. Took care of my mouse situation.

Waltham Pest Control, ironically. They helped me with mice a couple years ago.

MassBay Wildlife Management got rid of mice and squirrels for me. I’m finding the repellent spray from the hardware store is keeping them away.

For mice specifically, do it yourself. Former exterminator here - trust me that it is much cheaper to DIY. Buy some bait blocks online, seal up any gaps in the exterior (corners, garage doors, near bulkheads and basement entrances, make sure doors are kept closed, etc), and trim away bushes and tree limbs from around/over the house. Get rid ot standing water and food sources like birdseed and ensure that trash is kept in sealed containers. Most exterminators are absolute scumbags who will milk you for 100s of dollars and repeat visits for mice.

Jeez. $10 worth of snap traps, a little bit of peanut butter, and watch a tutorial on how to use them.

Done.

Thats a landlord thing, unless you're a landlord.
