Providing Professional Service Since 1990

Founded in 1990, Yankee Pest Control boasts decades of professional service attributed to our team’s dedication to customer satisfaction. As a family-owned business in Boston’s backyard, we live, work, and play in the same schools, restaurants, hotels, and neighborhoods as your family.
Starting from a very modest beginning in the basement of the family home, Yankee Pest Control founder and Marine Corps veteran, Galvin Murphy Sr., developed a company culture of giving back and a teamwork ethic that has grown the company into a 6,000-square-foot headquarters and training center. Our customer base stretches as far north as Lebanon, NH and as south as Chatham, MA, but what really makes our Boston-based company strong is the number of people we employ and how their families grow alongside our team.
Not only are we family-owned, but we are certified with the Center for Veteran Enterprises as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. Just as we are proud to have served our country, we are proud to serve our communities through residential, commercial, and federal pest management programs.
Maintaining our certification as a QualityPro-registered company, we follow the industry’s most comprehensive training, testing, safety, consumer relations standards, and environmental stewardship.
What Our Customers Are Saying

“Mice visitors
After placement of traps, which no mice took the bait. A tech found the one hole that they were coming in through and he patched it up.”

“These folks are fantastic! Galvin did a pest inspection for a house we were looking to buy. This guy was knowledgeable and clear. His observation skills were amazing–he could be a private detective! After the inspection, we were aware of all the termite and pest problems and the cost for remediation. During a stressful process like home buying, it was a relief to work with someone who was so competent, honest, and fair. Thanks, Galvin!”

“Excellent, on time and friendly, professional pest control service. Ed and his Bedbug sniffing dog Leyla are delightful to deal with. I’ve now had Galvin and Ed at my home and they are both highly competent at what they do, and also gentlemen.
Thank you!
