Massachusetts Pest Season Calendar
Temperate climate with distinct seasons creates strong seasonal pest cycles, with outdoor pests peaking in summer and indoor pest pressure rising in winter. Peak pest season runs April through October.
Spring
Termite and ant swarms appear as soil warms — inspect foundations and crawl spaces.
Summer
Warm, humid summers fuel peak pest activity; maintain yard treatments and indoor barriers.
Fall
Overwintering pests invade homes in fall — seal gaps around windows, doors, and utilities.
Winter
Cold winters concentrate pests indoors; check behind appliances and in storage areas.
Common Pest Issues in Massachusetts
Subterranean termites in older homes and structures
Rodent infestations during cold months
Seasonal ant invasions in kitchens and bathrooms
Overwintering pests like stink bugs and lady beetles

What Customers Are Saying in Massachusetts
Not a reliable company. We scheduled a consultation and were given a four-hour window for their arrival, but they never notified us before showing up. We had to step out briefly for an emergency at our daughter’s school—only 10 minutes away—and they arrived right at that time. When we told them we’d be back in 10 minutes, they said they didn’t want to wait and were “talking to other clients,” adding that they’d swing by later if they could. Their tone was rude and dismissive. Of course, no one e

Hired to cut back tree limbs along side of yard to 20-25’ up that were overhanging in yard and also remove several limbs from a large Maple in front yard overhanging electrical wires and house. There was a crew of four. They worked extremely hard all day and did a fantastic job. They checked in with me throughout the day to be sure they were removing everything that I wanted. I can’t say enough good things about Chris Glynn and his crew. Outstanding work and left the yard immaculate when finish

I had an excellent experience with Peppermint Service. From the first phone call to the final visit, they were professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. They quickly identified where the rodents were getting in, explained the entire process clearly, and took care of the problem efficiently. What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to making sure my home was fully secured to prevent future issues. They were punctual, respectful of my property, and left everythin

Island Insect Control is my go-to for anything moth, pest, mice, and insect related on Nantucket. I believe there are two owners, but I only have worked directly with Chance and he is hands-down one of the most reliable vendors I have ever used for my house. Chance initially took time to review all the annoying bug and moth issues I was dealing with, gave me free advice before I even signed up for their service, and listed options for me to do on my own before I had to spend any money. Eventuall
5 Stars – Exceptional Service! I can’t say enough good things about Island Insect Control! We were dealing with a serious mosquito problem in our backyard, and it was making it impossible to enjoy being outside. I reached out to Island Insect Control, and from the first call, their team was incredibly helpful and professional. The technician who came out was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything to me. After the treatment, we noticed a huge difference almost immediat

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re really glad we could help get your outdoor space back to a place you can enjoy. Mosquito issues can be frustrating, so it’s great to hear the treatment made a noticeable difference right away.
Island Insect Control did an amazing job getting rid of the ticks and mosquitoes. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in their treatment. They come every other week, which keeps the pests under control and makes a huge difference. In the summer, I’ve noticed way fewer mosquitoes, and I don’t have to worry about ticks in my yard. Flint and Chancellor also took the time to explain the process and offer tips for long-term prevention. Highly recommend their services if you want

Beginning of our 4th year with Mainely Grass and I couldn’t be any happier. New lawn and gardens from scratch 3 years ago. I get unsolicited compliments on how our lawn & gardens look…a lot of the credit goes straight to Mainely Grass! The team members servicing my property are very knowledgeable as well as very customer friendly. The pricing is right in line with other local companies but in MHO, why go elsewhere when Mainely Grass is doing all the right things at a reasonable cost with great
