Central Massachusetts Pest Control

One Trusted Team For Your Home, Yard, & Business

If pests, rodents, or wildlife are making you worry about your home or workplace, you are not alone. In Worcester and communities across Central Massachusetts, it is common to deal with mice in basements, ants in kitchens, bats in attics, and ticks or mosquitoes in the yard.

At Ford's Hometown Services, we help families and businesses protect their properties from these everyday problems. We provide pest control, wildlife removal, tick and mosquito protection, and lawn care, so you can work with one trusted local team instead of juggling multiple providers.

We have been serving Worcester and the surrounding area since 1941. As a family business, we put families first, respect your space, and back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee so you can feel confident inviting us onto your property.

Why Central Mass Homeowners Choose Us

When you invite someone to treat your home, business, or yard, you need to know you can trust them. Our neighbors confirmed that trust by voting us the number one pest control company in Central Massachusetts in the 2024 Best of Central Mass readers' choice contest. That recognition reflects thousands of real decisions by local families and property owners.

We have been serving Worcester and nearby towns since 1941, which gives us more than 85 years to learn how local pests behave through New England winters, wet springs, and humid summers. That history means we understand how mice squeeze into stone foundations, where carpenter ants nest in older wood, and when ticks are most active along wooded edges and stone walls.

Our company holds QualityPro accreditation, which is an industry credential earned by fewer than 3% of pest control companies in the United States. We also maintain Better Business Bureau accreditation. These third-party standards cover important details such as background checks, training, safety practices, and customer care, so you do not have to wonder how our team operates behind the scenes.

We know that trying a new company can feel risky, especially if you have dealt with repeat infestations before. That is why we back our services with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with our work, we work to make it right. Our goal is to leave you feeling protected and heard, not stuck with another lingering issue.

Cleanliness and respect matter just as much as results. Our FHS Cleanliness Promise outlines a four-step approach to how we enter, treat, and leave your property. Our technicians pay attention to boot covers, equipment placement, and cleanup so your home or business feels as neat as when we arrived, only with fewer pests.

Pest & Wildlife Services For Local Homes

Homes and small businesses in Worcester and across the region deal with a mix of pests and wildlife. Older basements, stone foundations, and wooded backyards create conditions for mice, rats, ants, and other invaders to move in. We design our services around the way buildings are built here and how pests use those spaces.

Inside, people often call us about rodents in basements or walls, carpenter ants in structural wood, ants in kitchens, wasp nests near entryways, and occasional invaders like silverfish or centipedes. Outside, squirrels, raccoons, and bats are common concerns when they find their way into attics, garages, sheds, or commercial dumpsters. We work to address both the immediate activity and the conditions that allowed it.

When you contact us for pest control or wildlife removal, we start by learning about what you are seeing and where. During your visit, our technician inspects key areas, identifies the source of the problem, and discusses what is driving the activity. We then build a plan that matches your property, instead of applying the same treatment to every home or business.

For wildlife issues, we focus on humane removal methods that follow state guidelines. Our team looks for entry points, damage, and signs of nesting, then recommends a course of action that aims to move animals out and keep them from returning. Throughout the process, we explain what we are doing and why, so you always know what to expect.

We understand that safety for children and pets is a top concern. Our team selects treatment methods with that in mind and talks through any precautions you should take. We combine targeted applications with structural and environmental recommendations, so the solution is not just about products but also about sealing gaps and improving conditions.

Here is what a typical pest or wildlife service visit may include:

Initial conversation about what you have noticed, where, and for how long
Thorough inspection of key areas such as basements, attics, entry points, and exterior foundations
Clear explanation of what we find, including likely sources and contributing conditions
Customized treatment plan and service on the spot when appropriate, with a focus on both removal and prevention
Cleanup and review of next steps, following our FHS Cleanliness Promise before we leave

Our goal is to leave you feeling calmer than when you called, with a clear understanding of what we did and what comes next. Over time, ongoing programs can help keep pests and wildlife from regaining a foothold in your Central Massachusetts home or business.

BEST Customer Service.
"I cannot express my appreciation enough for Jeremy and Zack! I called about a hornet nest in the wall while my husband was in the emergency room for an allergic reaction to a sting he received while trying to deal with the situation. Jeremy gave me the earliest possible appointment two days out with the promise of a call if someone could squeeze us in sooner. Enter Zack. He came 2 1/2 hours later and dealt with the nest, putting us all at ease. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The BEST customer service."

"Zak & Bob Ford did an excellent job with the foundation termite treatment. They performed the work on a timely basis. They were very careful with the landscape around the foundation and all holes that were drilled in the driveway and concrete structures were carefully repaired.
