Ford's Hometown Services

General

Commercial Pest Control
FHS also offers commercial pest control for businesses, schools, health care facilities, hotels and food-handling establishments. Please click here to visit our Commercial Pest Control Services page to learn more.

Insects and Spiders

Ants
Persistent. Invasive. Relentless. When you see ants in your home, it’s a cause for immediate concern. These pests are determined — if you see one, you could be dealing with hundreds or even thousands. The two most popular ants in Massachusetts, carpenter ants and pavement ants, can live in your home year-round.
Spiders
In addition, our “ULTIMATE PLAN” covers a number of common pests: ants, spiders, centipedes, earwigs, etc. As an added bonus, we will install termite monitoring stakes discretely around the foundation of your home. Throughout the season, your technician will inspect these stakes and will notify you if any termite activity is detected. Scroll down to read about other pests or click here to visit our complete Pest ID.
Termites
Termites are undetected invaders capable of destroying your biggest investment; your home or business. Traveling beneath the soil under and around your property, an infestation can take place within just a few days causing major structural damage. Luckily for you, termites are no match for the extermination experts at Ford’s Hometown Services (FHS). Headquartered right here in Worcester, the 5-star professionals at FHS have mastered four generations of time-tested termite control techniques that will eliminate termite colonies around your home and business.
Bed Bugs
Fleas
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are known to spread 33 kinds of bacteria. Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage annually. Nearly 30% of American homeowners have had a rodent problem in their home. Pests, such as ants and mice, aren’t just annoying. They carry real health hazards and can destroy your home. You’re not alone in your fight to take back your home or business—call in the pest control experts at Ford’s Hometown Services and we’ll make sure your structure is safe and pest-free.
Silverfish
Bees
Yellow jackets and wasps are no joke. While some are more aggressive than others, they are still dangerous. In fact, according to the CDC, there were 1,109 deaths from hornet, wasp, and bee stings between 2000–2017, or 62 deaths per year. Their stings are painful and they are disruptive to your summer and fall outdoor plans. If you need hornets, wasps, bees, carpenter bees, or yellow jackets removed from your property, contact the professional extermination team at Ford’s Hometown Services.
Wasps
There are a few types of wasps common in Massachusetts. These include the bald-faced hornet, European hornet, and paper wasps. Across the U.S., paper wasps tend to be the most common. Here are some ways you can identify a paper wasp...
Ticks
Ford’s Hometown Services has been protecting Massachusetts families and pets from Ticks for 8 years now! Did you know, 1-in-4 deer ticks carry life-threatening Lyme disease?
Crickets
Earwigs
Mosquitoes
If you are planning a special event in your backyard, there is a lot to consider. From tables and chairs to tents and food, you want everything to be perfect. There is one thing that can ruin your party — mosquitoes! Not only because they are a nuisance, but also because they carry numerous diseases including West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Ford’s Hometown Services can help you protect your guests and make sure your special event is remembered for all the right reasons with our special event spray.
Flies
Invest in plants that deter mosquitoes, ticks, and even flies. Just as the vegetation you grow on your property can hinder your pest control efforts, it can also help. Many plants produce natural oils that help keep these pests at bay. Consider planting mint, basil, lavender, and lemongrass around high-traffic areas of your outdoor entertaining spaces.
Centipedes

Animal Control

Bats
You go to great lengths to protect your home and family. That’s why if you find bats or wildlife living in your home, garage, shed, or yard, you need expert help right now. The professionals at Ford’s Hometown Services have more than 79 Years of experience removing wildlife from homes and businesses in Central Massachusetts. Call today —or fill out the form —to set up an appointment that works with your schedule. Our knowledgeable, friendly technicians will solve your wildlife issues as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, so your life can get back to normal.
Moles
Moles have poorly developed eyesight and rely on a sense of touch to explore. They have long, sensitive snouts which are six times more sensitive to touch than the human hand. They also have long, curved front paws and claws that dig like shovels, allowing them to easily create tunnels in your yard.
Raccoons
Our team understands the sense of urgency you’re feeling—wildlife in your home poise unique health risks and needs to be dealt with immediately. Our team will quickly assess your situation and solve your issue using the latest and most effective humane wildlife removal methods. Our services include removal, control, and exclusion of the area’s most common wildlife, including bats, raccoons, and skunks.
Snakes
Wildlife
At Ford’s Hometown Services, we tailor squirrel, bird, bat, and other wildlife exclusion programs to meet your specific needs. We always use the latest and most effective and humane removal methods—techniques that work for your home or office building over the long-term. Our process focuses on three key steps...

Bird Control

Birds
Crows
Beetle larvae, also known as grubs, feed on roots. One major sign of grub activity is that the grass will be easy to pull up, like a carpet off the hard wood floor, due to the diminishing of the root system of your lawn. The damage is typically found in sunny areas, as grubs will not typically be present in the shade. Also, foraging animals that feed on grubs (such as skunks and crows) will dig up the lawn, providing you with solid evidence of grub activity. However, the only way to be sure is to actually check beneath the thatch layer for small white larva. 2-4 larvae per square foot are expected and will not damage the lawn. Any more then 5-6 larvae per square feet should be treated immediately.

Rodent Control

Rodents
Large communities of insects, rodents and wildlife live outside your home. Our pest control services will protect your structure with the most modern and effective methods of pest management.
Mice
Mice exterminators such as the rodent control experts at Ford’s offer a number of effective mice control, mice exclusion, and mice extermination products and techniques to fit the size and scope of any mouse infestation. In fact, mice control and mice management are service specialties here at Ford’s.
Rats
Rats are often found in and around farms, gardens, open fields, and even homes and other buildings. If you observe rats in your garden, yard, or other landscaping, it’s very likely that they will soon invade your home. Rats are an incredibly invasive species and can be very destructive, so if you suspect rats on your property, don’t delay.
Squirrels
Removing gray and flying squirrels, skunks, and other wildlife from home or office only solves part of the problem. It’s essential to address how the animals are getting in, so you don’t have to deal with the issue again in the future. Plus, certain types of wildlife are protected and require specialized knowledge and proven processes to remove them safely and humanely. Our trained technicians are State certified with Problem Animal Control (PAC) licenses, OSHA fall protection certified, licensed for hydraulic lifts (if needed), trained in ladder safety and are Nationally accredited with the Quality Pro accreditation. We have been a trusted resource for wildlife trapping work for families and businesses across Massachusetts for over 80 Years (our 5 star Google reviews speak volumes). You can trust our team to remove intrusive animals and implement a plan to remedy access issues so your property stays protected long-term.
Voles
Voles are commonly known as “meadow mice” or “field mice” and will feed on the trunks and roots of various fruit trees and ornamental plants as well as flower bulbs. Their excellent tunneling ability allows them to go undetected and the presence of voles is usually discovered after they have destroyed a number of plants.
