    The Big Blue bug
    Robert S.

    The Big Blue Bug, also known as Nibbles Woodaway, is the giant termite mascot of Big Blue Bug Solutions located along I-95 in Providence, Rhode Island. Anyone driving up or down I-95 through Providence can see the Big Blue bug on the western side of the highway. It is a true Rhode Island landmark and many people give directions based on it.... It is claimed to be the world's largest artificial bug at 928 times the size of an actual termite, standing 9 feet tall and 58 feet long and weighing 4,000 pounds. It was constructed over a four-day period from wire mesh and fiberglass in late 1980 at a cost of $20,000. The bug has made numerous media appearances, including the films Dumb and Dumber and Dumb and Dumber To, the television programs The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Daily Show, and Family Guy, the comic strips Zippy the Pinhead, Breaking Cat News and Bosquet, and the books Providence by Geoffrey Wolff, Roadside America by Mike Wilkins, Ken Smith, and Doug Kirby, and Weird New England by Joseph Citro. It was featured on a state scratch-off lottery ticket in 1997. The Bug is annually "dressed" for Independence Day, Halloween, and Christmas (in lights, reindeer antlers, and a blinking red nose). Since 1990, the company has sold stuffed toys in the Bug's likeness. If you drive from the airport and you see the blue bug, you know you are approaching downtown Providence !

    Driving south through Providence, it was impossible not to see this big blue bug on the side of a building. What the heck? Doing some research online, I learned that the Big Blue Bug 58 feet long and he's a fiberglass termite. Created as a marketing tool in 1980, he stands on top of what used to be New England Pest Control which is now Big Blue Bug Solutions. AND HE HAS A NAME! "Nibbles Woodaway." Nibbles apparently dresses for the seasons with reindeer antlers for Christmas and such. You can't miss it from I-95. If I'm ever looking for pest control in Providence, this is my first stop.

    We used Alex and Mass Bay Wildlife Management in Foxborough, MA to take care of a squirrel problem…read morea couple of years ago. Recently, we decided to sign a yealy contract with the company when we were having some mice and hornet/wasps issues. They return emails promptly and set up appointments quickly. Their staff is professional, timely, and explain what they are doing patiently. I have been very satisfied with their services.

    We lived for years without mice, then one day they we found evidence in our basement and kitchen…read more After several frustrating days and sleepless nights trying to take care of it myself, I broke down and called Mass Bay. And this is where the story takes a positive turn. Signed up online and received a text with a link of who was coming and what day. Included information of what was going to be performed and how much. On the day of the appointment, my daughter let the technician in and I immediately found him to be polite, professional, and naturally friendly to my dog. I was instantly put at ease. Having never had to use a pest service, I was concerned about who would be going through my house and this poor soul had to crawl and climb all over a completely turned upside-down house, on a hot July day. Every step of the way he was a bevy of information and empathy. I was quite comfortable having him move about my house without me, he earned my complete trust. He set some bait and traps and had immediate results the evening after the first visit. He returned 2 weeks later to clear the traps (3 kills!) and seal up the outside. And since Mass Bay completed their work, no mice! In terms of value, the price was in the 3 figures. What would you pay for peace of mind? Mass Bay's options and pricing seemed fair and I will consider setting up a yearly contract with them, again for that peace of mind. I also learned quite a bit about mice in general, which was a nice add. I like when people geek out about their work, it's a good sign of happy employees. Happy employees do excellent work. MassBay was truly excellent.
