When it comes to Boston pest control, it is a bit specific. Here in Boston, as well as the surrounding area, we mostly deal with rodent and roach control, along with bedbugs. Here is how we successfully deal with those pests:
Rodent Problems
Rodents in your home or place of business can do more harm than you realize. In our area, rats and mice are the two main culprits. Rodent control in multi-unit buildings can be very difficult, as a lot of it depends upon what your neighbors do and how your neighbors live. Also, the age of the majority of buildings here in Boston lends itself to rodent infestations because of the deterioration of the buildings. The only way to treat rodent problems is baiting, trapping and dusting, which is basically a combination of trapping and poisons. We do that along with exclusion, which is the repairing of holes and access areas and harborages.
Roach Control
Generally, roaches are brought in from either local residents or from restaurants. The most prevalent roach in the Boston area is the German cockroach, although there are also American and other roaches. The main problem with the German roach is that it reproduces very quickly. Each egg capsule can have up to 32 individuals for each female that lays an egg, so in perfect conditions, you can get an explosion within a short period of time.
Sanitation is very important with German roach control. The cleaner the unit and/or house or apartment, the easier to do treatments. With modern chemicals, which include insect growth regulators, roach infestations can be dealt with very successfully. American roaches are more often found in boiler rooms and hot, damp areas. They breed much slower than German cockroaches and generally need to be taken care of with baiting programs.
Bedbug Treatment
Bedbugs are generally imported by other people and/or belongings. They are very difficult to treat because they infest personal belongings such as the bed, bed frames, and dresser drawers. You need a lot of cooperation from the tenant to clean and prepare the unit, and generally you need a succession of pre-treatments to take care of the problem. Bedbugs are on the rise due to using IPM integrated pest management techniques, which reduced the actual application of pesticides.
