All about North Reading
We enjoy working throughout North Reading, a town in Middlesex County home to 25,000 and counting. Bordered by Andover, North Andover, Middleton, Lynnfield, Reading, and Wilmington, North Reading is a tight-knit suburban town that lies entirely within the Ipswich River watershed. Established in 1853, this beautiful town is home to many well-preserved houses dating back to 1730. Its rich history and tree-lined streets make North Reading a desirable place to live and work.
Unfortunately, as with any town, North Reading has its share of pests and wildlife that can encroach on your peaceful state of living. The town is plagued by all the usual suspects when it comes to insects and rodents, such as mice, rats, hornets, wasps, ants, and termites. On the wildlife side, you’ll mostly find squirrels, bats, raccoons, birds, opossums and skunks. You may also get the occasional deer, gray fox, fisher cat, and even coyote due to the high concentration of wooded areas here.
Interesting facts about pests in North Reading
Over our many years in business, we have come to know the types of pests that plague this area of the state. Here are a few interesting facts about pests and animals in North Reading.
- Yellow jackets, paper wasps, and bald faced hornets are all common aggressive wasps native to Massachusetts.
- The house mouse, deer mouse, and white-footed mouse are the most common types of mice in this area.
- Young skunks are born in April and May, emerging from their dens in mid-June. They are active at night when the weather is warm, so be careful on your nightly walks with Fido.
- European starlings, woodpeckers, English sparrows, and crows are nuisance birds common to this area.
Different seasons pose different challenges for us here at Best Known Pest Control. Many animals don’t hibernate and are active all year long, such as opossums and raccoons, even though they may be less active in winter. Hornets and wasps are a common problem during summer and early fall, while rodents are a year-round problem.
Mice and rats will seek shelter indoors when the weather turns cold so they can breed, feed and get warm. The eastern subterranean termite, common to this region, typically swarms during the day time between March and May.

Case Studies for North Reading
North Reading Ethel Little school
In Sept. 2020, Best Known Pest Control LLC took quick and affirmative action to resolve an ongoing bat issue at the North Reading Ethel Little school. By placing a series of bat cones at multiple locations along the roof perimeter where bats were entering from, all bats were able to safely and effectively exit through the cones and emerge in the wild where they belong.
Bats are beneficial and eat up to 1000 insects per hour so it is vital we keep them away from the inside of our homes and manmade structures. Prior to this successful bat service from Best Known Pest control, Brendan (the owner) was able to successfully locate and remove a bat that was on the loose in the faculty hallway. He was quick to take action and evict the bats fully once and for all.
