Wood-Damaging Pests questions from Seacoast residents

Signs include sawdust piles (frass) near wood, rustling sounds in walls, and seeing large black ants with wings in spring. The seacoast properties throughout the Seacoast are susceptible where moisture issues exist. Our inspection locates the colony and identifies moisture sources.

We use borate-based products that are highly effective against wood-destroying insects while having very low toxicity to humans and pets. These treatments penetrate wood to provide lasting protection without creating indoor air quality concerns.

Left untreated, carpenter ant colonies can cause significant structural damage over time, though not as quickly as termites. The Seacoast's humid conditions in certain seasons can accelerate damage. Early detection and treatment is crucial.

While termites are less common in Massachusetts than in southern states, they do occur in the Seacoast. We provide thorough inspections and treatment when needed, using targeted methods that protect your home without whole-house fumigation.
