Know your pests
Pests we treat around Peterborough
Pests in Peterborough
What we deal with most around Peterborough, NH
Mice and rodents lead the fall calls in a place with this much forest nearby. They enter through gaps around pipes, garage doors and old foundation stones, and a single opening can be enough. Carpenter ants show up in damp wood, spiders in cellars, and wasps in quiet, dry corners of outbuildings.
When temperatures rise, ticks and mosquitoes become more of a concern, especially around gardens, brush piles and wet ground. Termites damage timber out of sight. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on siding as the days shorten. If your home was built long ago, a careful look at the sills, basement walls and attic is a wise investment.
Weather and pests
How Peterborough's weather affects pest activity
Winters in Peterborough are cold but not extreme for New Hampshire. January lows average about 13 degrees, and the area has about 150 nights a year at or below freezing. July highs reach roughly 82 degrees, and there are about 8 days a year at or above 90. Annual precipitation is about 48 inches, and October is the wettest month at roughly 5.1 inches, which is a little higher than many nearby towns. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and serve as a guide, not a forecast.
That wet October leaves leaf litter, soil and woodpiles soggy just as mice and insects begin searching for shelter. Damp wood attracts carpenter ants, and the same moisture can keep a crawl space humid enough to support other pests through winter.
Try building the year around the water. In spring, fix drainage and inspect for wet wood after snow melt. In summer, remove standing water and keep an eye out for nests. In fall, clear gutters and seal gaps before the cold arrives. In winter, keep the basement dry and check the attic for signs of activity. We can put the schedule together with you.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Peterborough
Ant treatment in Peterborough
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Peterborough, 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 Peterborough
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Peterborough 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 Peterborough
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 Peterborough home is built.
Cockroach control in Peterborough
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 Peterborough apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Peterborough
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 Peterborough
Peterborough'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.
