Grafton Pest & Wildlife Control

Local Protection For Your Home Or Business

Finding pests in your kitchen, hearing scratching in the walls at night, or watching your lawn thin out can make you feel like your property is slipping out of your control. You want the problem handled fully and safely, with as little disruption as possible. That is exactly what we work to provide.

At Ford's Hometown Services, we help families and businesses with Grafton pest control, wildlife removal, tick and mosquito protection, and lawn care. We are a family business that has been serving Worcester and Central Massachusetts since 1941, so we understand how local weather, wooded areas, and older homes shape the problems you see.

Over more than 85 years, our team has refined how we solve pest and lawn challenges. We were voted the number one pest control company in Central Massachusetts in the 2024 Best of Central Mass readers' choice contest, and we back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. When you are ready to feel comfortable on your property again, you can call (774) 418-4908 for help.

Why Grafton Families Choose Us

When you invite someone onto your property, you want to know they are careful, qualified, and respectful. Homeowners here deal with everything from mice in older basements to ticks along wooded lot lines, and they look for a team that already knows these patterns. We have been working in Central Massachusetts communities for decades, so we recognize the signs and seasons that are unique to this area.

Our company holds QualityPro accreditation, which fewer than three percent of pest control companies in the United States have earned. We also maintain Better Business Bureau accreditation. These credentials reflect our focus on safe working practices, careful hiring, and clear service standards that help protect the people and properties we serve.

Cleanliness is just as important as effectiveness. With our FHS Cleanliness Promise, we follow a four step approach to preparing, working, treating, and tidying. Our goal is to solve the issue and leave your home or business neat, not cluttered or tracked with debris. Many customers tell us this level of care helps them feel comfortable having us back.

We do not rely on one size fits all pest treatments. Instead, we listen to what you are seeing, inspect your property, and design a plan that fits your building, yard, and comfort level. Whether you need ongoing residential protection, help at a local business, or prefer an organic lawn program, you can work with one team that already understands the area and your expectations.

Local Pest & Wildlife Challenges

Properties here see a mix of pests and wildlife because of the blend of wooded conservation land, established neighborhoods, and newer construction. Rodents look for warmth and food in the colder months, while insects and ticks become more active as temperatures climb. Each season creates different pressures on your home, business, and lawn.

In colder weather, mice and rats often move into basements, garages, and attics, especially in older homes that have gaps around foundations or utility lines. In warmer months, ants, wasps, and other insects become more noticeable around kitchens, patios, and entry points. Seasonal invaders like cluster flies or stink bugs can appear in large numbers and make it hard to feel at ease indoors.

Wildlife also plays a big role in the problems we see. Squirrels may chew their way into attics, raccoons can get into trash or damage roofing, skunks may burrow under decks, and bats sometimes find their way into attic spaces in buildings that have small openings under the eaves. These situations can lead to noise, damage, and understandable stress.

Ticks and mosquitoes are a concern for many families, especially on properties that back up to woods, stone walls, or damp low spots. Children and pets spending time in the yard can be exposed to tick bites without anyone noticing right away. Our team pays close attention to where these pests tend to hide along lawn edges, shrubs, and shaded areas.

Some of the common issues we help with include:

Rodents such as mice and rats in basements, crawl spaces, or attics
Ants, wasps, and other insects around kitchens, decks, and entry doors
Squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and bats getting into structures or living spaces
Ticks and mosquitoes in yards, play areas, and around outdoor seating
Seasonal invaders like cluster flies or stink bugs gathering indoors

Because we handle these problems in Central Massachusetts every day, we know how weather shifts and local conditions change pest activity. That local insight helps us choose inspection points and treatment strategies that fit what you are actually facing on your property.
