Chatham Pest Control And Wildlife Removal

Protect Your Property With Local, Family-First Help

When pests, rodents, or wildlife start to invade your space, it affects more than your comfort. It can threaten your property, your sense of safety, and how you use your home or business. If you are looking for reliable Chatham pest control and wildlife services, you want help that feels both effective and respectful of your space.

At Ford's Hometown Services, we have been protecting homes and businesses across Worcester and Central Massachusetts since 1941. As a family-run company, we understand how stressful it feels to hear scratching in the walls, see ants in the kitchen, or find wildlife nesting in the attic. Our goal is to give you a clear path to relief and long-term prevention.

We tailor our services to the real conditions we see every day in this part of Massachusetts. Whether you are dealing with mice, insects, nuisance animals, or concerns about your yard, our team works to address the issue and explain what we are doing along the way. To discuss what is happening at your property, call (774) 418-4908 and we will help you plan the next step.

Why Chatham Homeowners Choose Our Team

Choosing a company to come into your home or business is personal. You want to feel confident that the team you invite in is trusted locally and committed to doing things the right way. That is why we bring our history and credentials forward, so you can see exactly who you are working with from the start.

We have been serving Worcester and Central Massachusetts since 1941, which means more than 85 years of handling New England pests, rodents, wildlife, and lawn challenges. Over those decades, we have seen how older homes, changing seasons, and wooded lots in and around Chatham shape pest activity. That experience helps us quickly recognize patterns, locate entry points, and recommend realistic solutions instead of guessing or relying on generic treatment plans.

Our community has also recognized our work. Readers named us the number one pest control company in Central Massachusetts in the 2024 Best of Central Mass readers' choice contest. That recognition comes directly from families and businesses in the area who trust us to help protect their properties and keep them informed.

Quality matters to us, not only in results but in how we deliver them. We hold QualityPro accreditation, which is a service quality credential earned by fewer than 3 percent of pest control companies in the country, and we maintain Better Business Bureau accreditation. These credentials reflect our commitment to safe hiring, training, and operating practices, which is especially important when you are bringing a service team into homes, offices, or schools.

We also back our work with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with our service, we work to make it right. Along with that, our FHS Cleanliness Promise outlines a four-step approach to keeping your home or business tidy while we work. We pay attention to how we move through your rooms, how we handle equipment, and how we leave your property when the visit is finished.

Another reason local property owners choose us is convenience. We handle general pest control, rodent work, wildlife removal, tick and mosquito protection, termite work, and lawn care under one roof. You can address a mouse issue inside, mosquito activity around the deck, and a struggling lawn through the same trusted team, instead of coordinating with several different companies.

Local Pest & Wildlife Challenges

Properties in and around Chatham face a mix of pest and wildlife pressures throughout the year. Many homes have basements, crawlspaces, or older construction details that provide access for mice and other rodents. In cooler months, these animals look for warmth and shelter, which often brings them into walls, attics, and storage areas where they can chew wiring, contaminate surfaces, and create noise at night.

In warmer weather, insects become more active. Ants may trail into kitchens and bathrooms, wasps can build nests near eaves and entry doors, and spiders often show up in basements, garages, and corners where humidity is higher. Moisture issues, such as damp basements or areas around plumbing, can also attract a range of pests that thrive in those conditions.

Nuisance wildlife creates a different kind of concern. Squirrels and raccoons can find their way into attics or soffits, sometimes using overhanging trees or damaged vents as access. Skunks may den under decks or sheds, and bats can sometimes enter living spaces from attics or gaps around chimneys. These animals can damage insulation and structures, create strong odors, and in some cases bring health risks.

Outdoor spaces bring their own challenges. Around wooded edges, stone walls, and brush, ticks can be active for a large part of the season. Mosquitoes tend to gather around standing water, dense shrubs, and shaded areas. For families who use their yards for play, pets, or gatherings, these pests can make it hard to enjoy time outside and can raise concerns about tick-borne illnesses.

We frequently hear from residents when do-it-yourself measures stop working or when the situation feels larger than a simple store-bought product can handle. Sometimes that looks like mice returning after repeated trapping, ant trails that keep reappearing, or wildlife that is too risky to handle alone. In other cases, it is the desire for a more thorough, consistent approach that does not rely on guesswork.

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."
