We can thank Benjamin Franklin for that one, because it still holds true today, especially as it pertains to preventative pest control in Massachusetts. ![Preventative pest control in Massachusetts](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_85173022.jpg?width=225&name=shutterstock_85173022.jpg "Preventative pest control in Massachusetts") In our industry, we see this quote come to life everyday, and we try to educate our clients about the money saving power of preventative pest control in Massachusetts. Here are three tangible examples of how taking preventative measures are proven ways to save you money on pest control in Massachusetts. 1. **[Termite control:](http://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-termite-control/) curative versus non-curative treatments ** The cost of Massachusetts termite control varies, depending on your linear footage and severity of the infestation, but curative termite control can cost more than $1,000. This doesn't include construction repairs. However, a preventative Sentricon termite installation will cost you hundreds - not thousands! This is why we urge homeowners to join our [Home Health Gold program](http://www.burgesspest.com/residential/home-health-plans/). You're covered for dozens of pests, including termites at a low cost.   2. **[Massachusetts mosquito and tick control](http://www.burgesspest.com/residential/mosquitos-ticks/)** If you wait until your property is overrun with these biting pests, not only could it cost you more to achieve the desired level of control, but the results may not be as quick as you'd like. By taking proactive measures, the residual barrier will be applied early enough to keep ticks and mosquitoes where they belong - away from you! And if you sign up early,[Burgess Pest Management](http://www.burgesspest.com/) always offers big discounts.   3. **[Carpenter ant control](http://www.burgesspest.com/ant-control/)** After the brutal winter we experienced in Massachusetts, excessive snow led to water damage in roofs and wall voids. These are the conditions that are perfect for carpenter ant colonies! By taking preventative measures, and having a trained Pest Management Professional inspect for damage, you could save thousands in construction repairs and curative solution costs.   While there's no "magic wand" to eliminate every ounce of pest pressure from your property, we always urge our clients to join our [Home Heath Gold program](http://www.burgesspest.com/residential/home-health-plans/). This offers you incredible money saving power, with the value of being protected against dozens of pests, including termites. You never have to wait to call. We space your service every three months, and focus on season-specific pests each quarter.   To learn more about what you can do have less pests and more money, click on the tab below to find out even more!
