General Pest Control

Ants on the counter, spiders in the corners, a wasp nest over the back door. Pests have a way of showing up right when you want to relax. Our quarterly General Pest Control program creates a protective barrier around your home, so you can stop worrying about what's crawling, buzzing or sneaking in.

Year-Round Protection

Massachusetts homes are a natural target for pests, from older foundations and wooded lots to damp basements and bulkheads. Our technicians visit once each quarter to treat the areas where pests enter and travel, helping stop problems before they reach your living space.

Every property is different, so we inspect your home and customize treatment to what we find.

What We Protect Against

Ants

Ants are usually the first pests homeowners notice, and the ones you see are often just scouts. Regular treatment helps keep colonies from establishing around your foundation and finding their way inside.

Wasps & Hornets

Few things end a backyard cookout faster than a nest by the door or deck. Seasonal treatment helps discourage nests from taking hold in the places you and your family use most.

Spiders

Webs under the eaves, around porch lights and in corners can pile up fast. Regular service helps reduce spider activity and keeps your entryways and outdoor spaces cleaner and more welcoming.

Centipedes

They appear without warning in basements, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Treating around your home's exterior helps keep them from wandering indoors.

Earwigs

Earwigs love damp, shady spots like mulch beds, window wells and foundation edges. Our program helps reduce their numbers before they move inside.

Occasional Invaders

Not every pest is a regular. Silverfish, millipedes, stink bugs and other seasonal visitors tend to show up when the weather shifts. Quarterly treatment helps keep them from making themselves at home.

Organic Treatment Options

Prefer a more natural approach for your home? We offer organic treatment options for general pest control, so you can protect your property in a way that fits your family's comfort level.

Whether you have young children, pets who spend time in the yard, a vegetable garden, or simply a preference for gentler products, your technician will walk you through what's available and help you choose the right fit for your property.

What to know about going organic:

  • Your plan stays customized. We start with an inspection and recommend treatments based on your home, your pest concerns, and your preferences.

  • Same quarterly schedule. Organic treatment follows the same seasonal visits, so you stay protected year-round.

  • Options for every part of your property. Ask about treatment choices for entryways, foundation edges, garden areas, and outdoor gathering spaces.

  • Waterfront property? Ask about organic options suited to areas near docks, shorelines, and landscaped beds.

We Inspect Your Property

We look at how your home is built, where pests are most likely to enter, and what's drawing them in.
