Pest Control in Massachusetts
Massachusetts has a humid continental climate with warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. The coastal moisture and urban density of the Boston metro area drive significant rodent, cockroach, and ant problems, while mosquitoes thrive in wetland areas during summer. Bed bugs are a growing concern in the state's many older apartment buildings.
