It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Easthampton sits in a humid climate with real seasonal swings, colder in winter than the Boston metro and coastal areas.. A significant share of homes here are older rural or farmhouse construction, reflecting this region's agricultural history. That's exactly what mice, spiders, boxelder bugs, subterranean termites, carpenter ants, and ticks need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Older wood-frame homes dominate this hill country, many with basements given the region's colder winters. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
