Local pest pressures in Boston
Boston's unique geography—surrounded by water like the Boston Harbor and Charles River—combined with aging infrastructure in neighborhoods like the North End creates significant pest pressure. The density of row houses allows pests to travel easily between properties, while restaurant districts attract formidable rodent populations. Our IPM approach addresses these urban challenges by sealing entry points common in historic brickwork and foundations.

Pests we treat in Boston

In Boston's dense neighborhoods, crawling insects like German Cockroaches and Odorous House Ants are frequent uninvited guests. The shared walls in row houses allow these pests to migrate quickly between units. We also treat for spiders such as House Spiders often found in the basements of...
Beetles
Historic homes in Boston, particularly those with original hardwood flooring or older wool carpets, can struggle with Carpet Beetles. We also see Pantry Beetles in kitchen areas of apartments where dry goods are stored. In the greener pockets near the Arboretum or Jamaica Pond, Ground Beetles...
Occasional invaders
The humidity from the harbor and river can attract Occasional Invaders like Sowbugs and Silverfish into the basements of Boston properties. In the fall, Stink Bugs may seek warmth in the upper stories of taller buildings. We focus on exclusion techniques to keep these nuisance pests...
Biting & blood-feeding

Rodents are Boston's primary pest challenge. Norway Rats are prevalent in alleyways and near the waterfront, particularly in the North End and Seaport. House Mice frequently exploit small gaps in the foundations of historic brownstones. Our exclusion services are critical here; we seal the limestone and...
Stinging insects
Yellow Jackets and Paper Wasps often nest in the eaves of triple-deckers or under the railings of city porches. In simpler structures or near parks, you may find ground nests. We safely remove these stinging insect nests to protect residents and pedestrians, a crucial service in...
Wood-damaging pests
Termites are a silent threat to Boston's historic wood-framed structures. Eastern Subterranean Termites can cause massive damage to the structural integrity of older buildings. We also treat for Powderpost Beetles in antique timber beams. Our monitoring and baiting systems are designed to intercept these wood-destroying pests...
