All about Tewksbury

Tewksbury is a town in Middlesex County, first settled in 1637 and officially incorporated in 1734. Home to the Shawsheen River, Tewksbury sits just southeast of Lowell and about 21 miles north of Boston. Located in a marshy lowland between the Merrimack and Concord rivers, Tewksbury plays hosts to many industries – mainly manufacturing.

With high-quality schools, accessibility to major highways, several parks, and plenty of restaurants and shops, Tewksbury is a go-to place to set down roots for growing families as well as professionals who want to be close to Boston for their commute but can’t afford the big city prices.  

Tewksbury shares borders with Lowell, Andover, Dracut, Billerica, Wilmington, and Chelmsford. 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 become home to unwanted insects and rodents, such as mice, rats, hornets, wasps, ants, and termites. Or, maybe you’ve been playing host to an increasing number of wildlife, such as squirrels, bats, raccoons, birds, opossums, gophers, skunks, deer, red and gray foxes, fisher cats and coyotes.

While Tewksbury may have its share of busy roadways, subdivisions, business hubs, and dense populations, wildlife in all its forms is a common sight here thanks to the many wooded areas that define the community.

Interesting facts about pests in Tewksbury

From spiders to mice, we have seen it all in our years of eradicating pests in Tewksbury. That means we known which pests like to hide out here and we also know the most effective way to get rid of them.

• • · Tewksbury, like the rest of Massachusetts, has a pretty significant gray squirrel population. You’ve probably spotted them all around your property and darting across roads on your way to work. They may seem harmless but they carry diseases such as rabies, Powassan virus and tick fever. They take things a step further and make holes in your home’s exterior so they can gain entry. By extension, this also allows other critters to get inside.
    · Raccoons, woodchucks, skunks and opossums are destructive nuisance pests that can do a number on your property. Because wildlife like these are being forced closer and closer to semi-rural areas like Tewksbury due to the many new housing developments being constructed, you will likely have many more sightings of these critters as the years wear on.
    · Old New England towns like Tewksbury have many older wood structures that entice termites. Problem is, many homeowners don’t know they have an infestation of termites until the integrity of your wood structure has been damaged and compromised. Our pros know how to spot the signs.
    · Bats may be beneficial to the ecosystem because they feast on insects such as mosquitoes, they carry diseases such as rabies, and their droppings can spread respiratory illnesses such as Histoplasmosis.
    · Not all birds are migrating birds that head south when the cold weather hits. Pigeons, woodpeckers, blackbirds and crows stick around all year long, causing a nuisance with their annoying presence and droppings.

We witness firsthand all the seasonal pest challenges that Tewksbury homeowners face each year. Some wildlife species (i.e., opossums and raccoons) don’t hibernate, which means they are active all year long. Rodents are a year-round problem as well, preferring to hide in your home when the temps plummet. Summer belongs to hornets and wasps, while daytime in March and May is when eastern subterranean termites swarm.
