All about Westford

Westford, a mid-size Middlesex County town incorporated in 1729, is located 17 miles southeast of Nashua, NH, bordered by the Merrimack and Concord rivers. We have a deep knowledge of all the neighborhoods here and the critters that attempt to call them home.

Originally established as a farming community, Westford’s school system is ranked among the top 20 in the state, according to Niche. But even the nicest communities fall victim to the same pests and wildlife that invade other nearby communities. Unwanted insects and rodents include 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.

  Think you have a pest control problem in your Westford neighborhood? We can come by to give you an in-home estimate and customized home protection plan. We know all the common pests that plague Westford and we know what to do about them. Here are some of the ones we see the most:

• A variety of rodents are common here, such as deer mice, white-footed mice, and Norway rats. They should be treated with serious care, as they can transmit Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, and typhus.
• Like the rest of the state, Westford is home to a large gray squirrel population that spikes in the fall and winter. These “cute” critters you see gathering acorns in your yard actually carry dangerous diseases such as rabies, Powassan virus and tick fever. They also contribute to costly property damage, gnawing holes in your home’s exterior, which not only allows them inside but other pests too.
• Anopheles mosquitoes are quite common in this area, and West Nile Virus has been frequently detected here. Keep in mind mosquito season in Massachusetts lasts from May to September.
• The most common species of cockroach in Westford include German, American, and Oriental cockroaches, with the town having a moderate cockroach density.
• The American carpenter ant, like elsewhere in the state, is the most common ant species. As they forage, build, and maintain their intricate colonies, they cause costly destruction for homeowners.

Pests in Westford, like everywhere else, are often seasonal. In summer, you’ve got hornets, wasps, ticks, and mosquitoes. In March and May, eastern subterranean pests swarm in the daytime. Other pests stick around all year long, such as opossums and raccoons (that’s because they don’t hibernate) and rodents that invade homes when the weather turns nasty.
