Minuteman Pest Control

Protectors of Health and Property

Paul DeBettencourt and his two sons, Jared and Matt, are dedicated professionals who have been rescuing homes from pesky pests for almost fifty years. Minuteman Pest Control is a family-owned business founded in 1976 because Paul was passionate about Entomology. They service most of Western Massachusetts along the I-91 corridor and pride themselves in developing personal relationships with their customers. 

Minuteman offers both commercial and residential services and is a Quality Pro affiliate and a National Pest Management Association member. These designations are given to companies held to the highest standard. They implement a personalized approach in dealing with pest management. "We don't believe one size fits all. Everyone's needs are different," Paul said. "Most of our business is by word of mouth and referrals, it's always been like that," Jared said. Many clients have been with them for over forty years!

"It's critical to study insect behavior," Paul explained.  "You have to know what you're dealing with," Jared added.  "There are reasons why pests are doing what they're doing. Sometimes we'll tell people treatment is not necessary, to wait a few days and see if the problem persists, then to give us a callback so we save your money and time. We give them treatment when necessary," Matt said. Minuteman uses all-natural products as much as possible and always practices Integrated Pest Management.  "Educating the customer is important," Paul stated. They will never put families or the environment at risk with their practices because safety is of the utmost importance. In some instances, they offer free insect identification.

The key to living in a pest-free environment is consistency. By having a proactive approach, you can avoid any complications that may arise with pest infestations. Contact Minuteman Pest Control to explore multiple service options at a fair price.
