Dedham Pest Control Services

When pests, rodents, or lawn problems show up at your property, you want them handled quickly and with as little disruption as possible. At Ford's Hometown Services, we provide a complete approach to Dedham pest control, wildlife removal, tick and mosquito protection, and lawn care so you can focus on everyday life again.

We have been serving Worcester and Central Massachusetts since 1941, and over those decades we have learned what works for homes and businesses in this region. As a family business, we understand how unsettling it can feel to find pests in your kitchen, hear scratching in the walls, or see your lawn deteriorate, and our goal is to make the solution simple and straightforward for you.

From the first call to the final visit, we work to protect your property, respect your space, and back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are ready for a local team you can feel comfortable inviting onto your property, we are here to help.

Why Dedham Chooses Our Team

When you decide who will treat your home or business, you want a company that has already earned the trust of your neighbors. Readers in the 2024 Best of Central Mass contest voted Ford's Hometown Services the number one pest control company in the region, which reflects how many local families and business owners rely on our work.

We have been in the pest control and lawn care industry for more than 85 years. That history means we have seen how pests, rodents, and turf issues behave in Central Massachusetts over many seasons. We use that experience to recommend practical solutions instead of one size fits all treatments, and we take time to explain why we suggest a particular plan for your property.

Quality and safety matter, especially when you have children, pets, tenants, or customers on site. We hold QualityPro accreditation, a credential earned by fewer than three percent of pest control companies in the United States, and we maintain Better Business Bureau accreditation. These recognitions reflect the standards we follow in hiring, training, safety, and customer service, not just marketing claims.

We also know that inviting any service provider inside can feel stressful if you are not sure how they will treat your home or business. Our FHS Cleanliness Promise outlines a four step approach that covers preparation, protection, treatment, and cleanup, so we leave your property as neat as we found it. Our technicians wear proper gear, pay attention to surfaces and belongings, and clean up their work areas before they go.

Because we handle pests, rodents, wildlife, tick and mosquito programs, and lawn care under one roof, you can work with a single team that understands your entire property. Whether you manage a small business along a busy street or live in a quiet Dedham neighborhood near woods and conservation land, we tailor our services to how you use your space and what you want to protect.

Pest & Wildlife Problems We Handle

Properties in and around Dedham face a mix of pest and wildlife pressures that change with the seasons. As temperatures drop, mice and rats often move into basements, garages, and wall voids through gaps around pipes, doors, and foundations. In warmer months, ants, wasps, and other insects become more active in kitchens, decks, and outdoor spaces.

Many local homes are older, with character that often includes small cracks or gaps that pests can use as entry points. Tree lined streets, stone walls, and nearby wooded areas provide shelter for squirrels, raccoons, and other nuisance wildlife that may explore attics, chimneys, or trash areas. Small businesses that handle food or waste also see increased activity if conditions invite pests inside.

Our team focuses on identifying what is attracting pests to your property and how they are getting in, then building a plan that addresses both the infestation and the underlying causes. We combine targeted treatments with recommendations for sealing entry points or adjusting conditions whenever practical, so you are not stuck relying on repeated quick fixes instead of long term improvement.

Some of the pest and wildlife issues we regularly address include:

Rodent problems such as mice in basements, crawl spaces, and kitchens
Ants in kitchens, bathrooms, and around foundations during warmer months
Wasps and other stinging insects nesting near doors, decks, and eaves
Squirrels or raccoons exploring attics, chimneys, and rooflines
Occasional invaders, including spiders and overwintering insects inside living spaces

We approach wildlife removal carefully and in line with applicable regulations, with a focus on humane solutions and preventing animals from returning. For rodents and insects, we use an integrated approach that may include baits, exclusion work, monitoring, and follow up visits, depending on what is appropriate for your situation.

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. They were highly informative and professional, and took the time to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend Fords Hometown Services."
