All about Chelmsford

Chelmsford, a town in Middlesex County, was established in 1655. It sits 25 miles northwest of downtown Boston and 15 miles southeast of Nashua, NH, bordered by the Merrimack and Concord rivers. 

Whether you live in South Chelmsford, West Chelmsford, East Chelmsford, the Westlands, or the industrial village of North Chelmsford, you can rest assured we know all the neighborhoods here and the critters that plague them.

Originally established as a farming community, Chelmsford’s school system is ranked among the best in the state, and was voted the top 100 Best Places to Live in the U.S. by Money Magazine in 2007 and 2011. While a great place to live, this community is not immune to the same pests and wildlife that threaten other nearby communities. Your house or place of business may be the desired home of unwanted insects and rodents, such as mice, rats, hornets, wasps, and ants – or even invasive wildlife, such as squirrels, bats, raccoons, birds, opossums, gophers, skunks, deer, red and gray foxes, fisher cats and coyotes.

Despite the fact that Chelmsford boasts plenty of commercial areas, busy roadways, subdivisions, and dense populations, wildlife of all kinds is common here as they live amongst the wooded areas of the community.

Interesting facts about pests in Chelmsford

Rest easy knowing we use the latest and safest pest control methods available to handle all issues quickly and efficiently. Like many surrounding MA towns, Chelmsford has seasonal pests that can become a nuisance to any home owner. Those pests include wasps, bees, carpenter ants, bed bugs, rodents, ticks and mosquitoes. The many types of wildlife found in the area can also pose a hazard to your family and home — not to mention costly property damage. 

If you suspect you have a pest control problem, we can arrange an in-home estimate and create a customized home protection plan for you. Our experience has shown that certain pests are common in Chelmsford, including the following.

• Chelmsford, like the rest of Massachusetts, has a large gray squirrel population that can get out of hand in the fall and winter. You no doubt have seen these furry creatures scurrying to and fro across your yard and the streets. While they may look cute and harmless, they actually carry dangerous diseases such as rabies, Powassan virus and tick fever. In addition to that, they gnaw holes in your home’s exterior to get inside, which also welcomes other pests at the same time.
• Anopheles mosquitoes are quite common in this area; mosquito season lasts from May to September.
• Chelmsford has moderate cockroach density, with the most common species in MA being the German, American, and Oriental cockroaches.
• The American carpenter ant is one of the most common ant species in the state, causing a lot of costly destruction as they forage, build, and maintain their intricate colonies.
• The American carpenter ant is one of the most common ant species in the state, causing a lot of costly destruction as they forage, build, and maintain their intricate colonies.
• Unfortunately, the integrity of your wood structure will have been damaged and compromised by the time you even know they are there.
• Deer mice, white-footed mice, and Norway rats are all common to Chelmsford, all of which have been known to transmit Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, and typhus.

Pests are typically seasonal. For example, hornets, wasps, ticks, and mosquitoes invade in summer, and in the daytime in March and May, eastern subterranean pests swarm. Other pests are around all year long, such as opossums and raccoons that don’t hibernate, as well as rodents that will seek shelter in your home when the weather gets cold.

See what our customers are saying about us:

“Outstanding! Courteous, thorough, knowledgeable, and professional in immediately addressing the problem with mice. Brendan carefully inspected my home to locate access points, filled all gaps, and within a few days had completely eliminated the mice. Superb! Highest recommendation.”

– Marla I.

“I had a recent issue with noise in the attic, so I contacted Best Known Pest Control. Brendan efficiently diagnosed the issue as a mouse problem and effectively walked me through the steps needed to resolve it. Upon hiring him for the work, he was at my home within a week to set traps and repair/block probable entry points for the animals. Brendan even went the extra mile to climb onto the roof and thoroughly review the roof line to isolate any problem areas where critters might enter. We were able to resolve the mouse problem after a couple days and haven’t heard anymore since (knock on wood). I absolutely recommend Best Known for any pest control needs.”
