Pilgrim Pest Professionals

What Pilgrim Pest Professionals does

Pilgrim Pest Professionals is a family-owned pest control and wildlife removal operator founded in 2015 and headquartered in Plymouth, Massachusetts, with a second service location in Yarmouth Port on Cape Cod. The company delivers residential, commercial, and municipal services across Plymouth, Bristol, Barnstable, and Norfolk counties in eastern Massachusetts, covering Cape Cod, the South Shore, the South Coast, and the Boston metro area. Service lines fall into two cores: pest control (termites, rodents, ants, mosquitoes, ticks, stinging insects, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, spiders, wasps, and others) and wildlife control (bats, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, birds, woodpeckers, ospreys), supplemented by add-on services such as insulation removal and recreational vehicle preventative treatments.

The underlying technology is conventional pest and wildlife management: chemical treatments, trapping, exclusion and humane live-removal methods, cleanup and disinfection, and state-of-the-art equipment delivered by certified technicians. The company holds a Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Problem Animal Control (PAC) agent license (CC-0054344) and memberships in the National Pest Management Association, National Wildlife Control Operators Association, New England Pest Management Association, and Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce. Twenty-four hour and same-day emergency response are core operational features.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time treatments and recurring service plans (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual), backed by warranty programs including 6- and 12-month rodent warranties, annual carpenter ant coverage, and guarantees of up to 2 years pest-free. Distribution is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business via phone, website quote requests (pilgrimpestpro.com), Google Business Profile with over 100 town-level landing pages, and in-field service visits. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; free inspections and quotes act as lead generation, with discounts for military, first responders, and first-time general pest customers. The business is bootstrapped with no identified external capital and remains privately held by the founding family.

Direct peers

• Catseye Pest Control: Northeast pest and wildlife control operator with strong New England presence. Comparable to Pilgrim in combining general pest, rodent, and wildlife removal services under one brand, and in offering recurring service plans.
• Braman Termite & Pest Elimination: Massachusetts-based family-owned pest and termite control company with a similar local-service model. Directly comparable to Pilgrim in target customers, geographic focus in New England, and reliance on recurring service plans and warranties.
• Modern Pest Services: New England-based residential and commercial pest control company serving Massachusetts and surrounding states. Comparable because it offers a similar menu of recurring pest plans, specialty services, and wildlife-related work within the same regional geography as Pilgrim.
• Waltham Pest Control: Regional Massachusetts pest control provider serving residential and commercial clients in the eastern part of the state. Comparable to Pilgrim in scale, customer mix, and the use of integrated pest management and wildlife exclusion services.

Broad incumbents

• Terminix: Major national pest and termite control provider with active service in New England. Comparable to Pilgrim in core pest offerings (ants, rodents, termites, bed bugs) and warranty/recurring service structures, but with far broader geographic reach and marketing spend.
• Orkin: National pest control incumbent operating across the U.S., including Massachusetts. Comparable because it offers residential and commercial pest, termite, and wildlife-adjacent services using a similar field-service model, though at vastly greater scale and brand recognition.
• Rentokil Terminix (Rentokil Initial): Global pest control company with significant Massachusetts operations following the Terminix merger. Comparable to Pilgrim in residential/commercial pest and wildlife-adjacent offerings, operating under a similar recurring-service business model but with enterprise-scale resources.
• Truly Nolen Pest & Termite Control: Large national pest and termite control franchise with active Massachusetts operations. Comparable to Pilgrim in residential/commercial pest offerings and recurring service model, but with national branding and broader service menu.

Others

• Mass Audubon / MassWildlife (wildlife referral partners): Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife is the regulatory body that licenses PAC agents like Pilgrim. Comparable in an "OTHERS" sense because it is the public-sector counterpart that enables wildlife control work and often refers homeowners to PAC-licensed operators.

Emerging players

• GreenHow (Greenwood Pest Solutions): Regional pest control company emphasizing eco-friendly and organic treatment options in the Northeast. Comparable to Pilgrim in offering organic treatment options, residential/commercial focus, and a similar scale of operations in the New England market.
