Termite Control
Eastern subterranean termites are active across southeastern Massachusetts. They live in the soil, tunnel into wood that touches or sits near the ground, and can do serious structural damage before anyone notices. Mayflower Pest Control provides inspections, treatment, and prevention to protect your home before the damage gets costly.

Protecting your home from termites
Signs of termites
Spring swarmers: Swarms of winged insects near windows and doors, usually on warm spring days, or small piles of discarded wings.
Mud tubes: Pencil-width tubes of dirt running up foundation walls, piers, or basement beams.
Damaged wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or crumbles easily, especially near the foundation.
Bubbling paint: Paint or drywall that blisters or sags without an obvious water leak.
How we handle termites: We inspect inside and out, confirm whether you're dealing with termites or carpenter ants, treat the problem at the source, and help prevent it from coming back.
How can I tell termites from carpenter ants?
Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist, and two pairs of equal-length wings. Carpenter ants have bent antennae and a pinched waist. When in doubt, we'll identify them for you.
When do termites swarm?
In Massachusetts, swarms usually happen in spring, often on a warm day after rain. A swarm indoors is a sign of an active colony nearby.
