Pests in Amherst
What we deal with most around Amherst, NH
Houses with woods behind them attract mice, chipmunks and squirrels looking for a warm attic, and ticks and mosquitoes are common where lawns meet trees. Carpenter ants prefer wet or decaying wood, so a leaky gutter above a window frame can lead to trouble. Termites work quietly in soil and foundation wood, and a routine inspection is the only reliable way to catch them early.
Wasps often nest in eaves, sheds and playground equipment, and stink bugs look for gaps in siding as days grow shorter. Around 159 nights a year at or below freezing means that every fall, the same question comes up: which gaps around pipes, vents and garage doors are still open? That is where we start.
Weather and pests
How Amherst's weather affects pest activity
Amherst gets warm summers and long winters. July highs average about 83 degrees and January lows about 14, with about 11 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. In a typical year the area sees roughly 46 inches of precipitation and 57 inches of snow, and October is the wettest month at about 4.9 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and work as a guide, not a forecast.
October's rain, the highest of any month, arrives when rodents and insects are already searching for winter shelter. Wet leaves pile against foundations, mulch stays soggy, and the combination hides entry points and holds moisture against wood. Cleaning gutters and pulling leaf litter and mulch a few inches back from the foundation takes only an afternoon and removes several problems at once.
Spring is the other critical stretch. After a season of snow, we like to check porches, decks and sill areas for softened wood, then look for early mosquito breeding in gutters and containers. In midsummer, watch for wasp nests before they grow, and by early September start closing gaps so nothing moves in as the nights cool.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Amherst
Ant treatment in Amherst
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Amherst, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Amherst
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Amherst buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Amherst
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Amherst home is built.
Cockroach control in Amherst
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Amherst apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Amherst
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Amherst
Amherst's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
