Default Massey

Has anyone used Massey for pest control and lawn care?

We have used Massey from the day we closed on our house. They provided services even when we were living in NY before we moved here permanently. Very happy with their services. Kathy

Yes we have been here over 11 years and have used just about every other company before settling on Massey. I wish I had gone to them first! They do an excellent job and since using them no bug issues in the house!

Had an excellent experience as far as the bugs - not such a good experience with the grass. Fired them after the first year.

We have used them for three years- inside/outside bugs, termite control and fertilizing plants, shrubs and palms - (we no longer have grass.) We have designated fellows for each of those services.

They always call a day ahead to let us know they are coming, have shown up without fail, are respectful, clean and presentable, (as is their equipment) and thorough in their service. They can answer any pertinent questions you might have while they are there. Or you can call the office with questions- they are happy to speak to you.
When they are finished, they write a receipt up, detailing what was done, (or found) and if satisfied, you sign it and get a copy.


We are very pleased

We have used them since we closed on our house. Have no complaints and they come out if we need them to in addition to their regular things.

We started out with them, but changed and bundled the entire package with Stellar. Their full package includes all lawn, shrub, bug and fertilizer into an easy payment. Paid in full for the first year and have not been disappointed yet.

We have used Massey since we closed in January, very courteous and prompt. They have provided excellent service.

Using Massey--having issues with lawn....and bugs....certainly thinking about changing. Had the lawn guy come last week and told them I am very displeased. They requested I give them 30 days to try and fix the concerns--one week and counting--no change

We chose Dean's over Massey. The main reason was the constant phone calls and showing up at the front door when we were moving in. It bordered on harassment. I would tell him each time that we were just getting settled in, asked him to leave his card and told him we would call him. I also didn't like the way he made it sound like no other company compares to their superior service.
When the young man from Dean's showed up at the door, I asked for his card and told him we would call him. We ended up signing with Dean's and have been extremely happy with their services. They've always been very professional and responsive to any questions we have.

Dean's will also give you 10 per cent off your contract price if you allow them to put a small advertising sign in your shrub border. Remember to ask and get your discount. Many of my neighbors got the discount as they all have these advertising signs in their shrub borders. I think a couple of them called up and got the deal afterwards. Worth a try.

My advice to you: CHOOSE a pest control company that is "eco-friendly" and preferably uses more natural products. Just moved to a neighborhood where (2) people had brain cancer (present house Owner passed from) (1) has neck cancer and the next door neighbor just passed from cancer. COMMON element: almost everybody uses Massey here ..........SCARY....BUT pesticides CAN cause cancer BUGS do not!

Massey provides good service for us. When we first got here we did have problems with one of their techs concerning our lawn. I called and asked that a supervisor come out. He took soil samples and discovered the problem and within a few weeks our lawn looked great

I am happy with Massey bug and pest control, but very dissatisfied with their lawn and shrub service. My lawn looks like a weed patch and I have 5 shrubs which were attacked by bugs and look like they will be dying in the very near future. Have called Massey numerous times, but have gotten no satisfaction. I am thinking of going with Dean.
