Pest Control & Exterminator In Sandwich, MA

Expert Pest Control and Exterminator Services in Sandwich, MA

Working in Sandwich means working on buildings that have been standing for a very long time. The oldest houses on this part of the coast are here, strung along the Old King's Highway, and three centuries of settling leaves a building with gaps that a modern house simply does not have. Our pest control and extermination services are built around finding those gaps first and treating second, because in a house like this the way in matters more than the spray does.

Why Sandwich residents trust our pest control services

We are family owned and operated and we work on the Cape rather than driving out to it, so an old timber frame with a damp cellar is a building we have been in before rather than a surprise. Everything we use is eco-friendly and low-toxicity, chosen to be safe around children and animals — which matters more than usual in a house with a crawl space under the kitchen and children on the floor above it. And a standard inspection costs nothing, because we would rather look before quoting than quote and then look.

Common pest problems we handle in Sandwich

The old housing stock is the first thing. Timber that has held sea damp for two hundred years is exactly what carpenter ants and termites are looking for, and a sill sitting on fieldstone with no vapor barrier under it stays damp all year. According to the UMass Center for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment, carpenter ants do not eat wood at all — they cut chips out of it to widen a nest, and they pick soft wood and timber already in a state of decay to do it in.

The second thing is the water. The salt marsh behind Town Neck and the low wet ground either side of the boardwalk are mosquito country from June onward, and the shaded edge where a mown lawn runs out into scrub oak and pitch pine — which is most of Forestdale and a good deal of East Sandwich — is where ticks wait. The third is the cold. Mice and rats do not care how old a house is, only whether it is warmer inside than out, and a settled eighteenth-century frame gives them a dozen ways to find out.
