Boston pest control

There's a seasonality to pest problems in our region. In other words, there are many types of insects that are only prevalent during certain times of the year. Boston pest control companies, like Burgess Pest Management, focus their service efforts based on season.

The challenge is that our weather varies so much in Massachusetts that each year, pests become active at slightly different times of year. For example, the main Boston pest control problem we're currently facing is termite swarms. Despite the fact that it's still technically winter, termites in Boston are already emerging. This traditionally doesn't happen this early, but due to our mild winter, these pests are already on the move.

Ant control in Boston is another early season surprise. Ant activity in Massachusetts usually doesn't become a major problem until plants bloom because ants need protein from plant matter to thrive. Yet we're already responding to both interior and exterior ant problems in Boston, and it's still early March.

Being proactive about pest control in Boston is the most effective method of pest management. By monitoring, assessing, and treating when necessary, Boston pest control companies like Burgess Pest Management may reduce the need to treat inside.
