Residential Services are spearheaded by our very experienced termite control specialists, cutting edge mosquito and tick control, and our most popular, residential pest control program, which includes rodents, wasps, ants and a multitude of crawling insects.
Commercial Pest Control
We have been providing commercial pest control service in downtown Boston and its suburbs for 25 years. Our custom designed pest management programs are spearheaded by the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and backed by industry leading training and technology. Our team of Pest Management Professionals have also extended their studies through professional development programs such as Purdue University’s Pest Management Technology.
“Excellent service! Their annual homeowners policy is a great deal. Highly recommend this company for routine issues like ants or more urgent issues that come up.”
Spiders
No matter if your basement is “finished” or not, every basement is susceptible to pests that flourish in dark, damp areas, including termites, cockroaches, spiders and many more.
Termites
Nationwide, termites cost U.S. home and property owners an estimated $6 billion each year by destroying crops and wooden structures. An average-sized termite colony can destroy more than a cubic foot of wood per year.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are now a common problem throughout the country – especially in Boston, named one of the country’s top-25 most infested cities. Whether you’re in a low-income housing project in the city, a ranch in the country, or a multi-million-dollar home in the suburbs...everyone is susceptible to bed bugs.
Fleas
Attics are ideal environments for rodents, who damage property by gnawing. Damage to electrical cables through gnawing can lead to fire. Attics are also ideal environments for nesting birds, which can spread disease, mites, and fleas.
Cockroaches
Silverfish
Bees
Wasps
Depending on the season, your home will play host to a variety of pests – ants, crawling insects, wasps, mice, and rats. Yankee Pest Control offers Plans that will protect your home and yard. Find the right one for you.
Ticks
In New England, we enjoy some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes and weather...and so do pests that can harm our families. Diseases such as Lyme, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and West Nile Virus carried by mosquitos and ticks are changing the way we enjoy summer outside. It’s time to take your yard back!
Earwigs
Mosquitoes
In addition to the two scheduled visits the YPC team will provide for pest control at your home, two additional visits will also be scheduled to treat your yard for ticks and mosquitoes. (Please note: larger yards may require additional treatments to achieve desired level of control.)
Flies
Small fly control in quick service or sit-down restaurants can ruin your customers’ experience. Flies are highly mobile and do not discriminate against food meant for human consumption or trash that they can walk over, defecate on, or eat.
Beetles
Murphy arrived onsite to find “millions” of — you already know it — not bed bugs but drugstore beetles. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he says. Upon entering the bunker, a previously hidden room, city hall staff and contractors found “boxes and boxes of civil defense rations.” Lo and behold, the source of the drugstore beetles had been identified: aluminum cans of crackers from 1963 that had been stored during a time when the U.S. government was preparing to feed citizens in case of a nuclear war.
Moths
Bats are insectivores and feed on mosquitos and moths at night. They can also play host to smaller insects such as mites and flies that can be introduced into your home and pose a health risk. In contrast to popular belief, bats rarely bite humans and only do so when feeling threatened. Bats do in fact have poor vision and do utilize echolocation to locate things in their flight path.
Stink Bugs
Like it or not, insects and pests frequently make their way into our houses. Bed bugs, stink bugs, ants, and many more gain entry to our bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms. No room is safe.
Mites
Rodents spread disease by carrying fleas, lice, mites, and ticks and by contaminating food. In addition, mice have been linked to asthma.
In their natural habitat, bats can be very beneficial to the environment. It is not until bats make their way inside that sanitation and health become a concern.
In an era where customer service frequently comes second, our team structure is built on educating the customer and the community in which we work. Whether it’s providing a two-hour classroom program on rodent control to a condo association or spending two extra minutes with concerned parents about product usage, we believe education provides customer satisfaction.
Mice
Boston and its surrounding suburbs have some of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the country. Those conditions – paired with having some of the country’s oldest buildings – have created a welcoming environment for mice and rats.
Rats
If Remy from the animated Pixar film Ratatouille were to live in Boston, he’d probably live in the North End. It’s an area where rats are seen… More »
Squirrels
Eastern grey squirrels largely feed off seeds and nuts found around yards where they spend time scaling trees. The same tree that provides them fresh seeds also allows access to surrounding structures. When trees are in close proximity to powerlines or your home, squirrels will find their way into attic spaces through already existing entry points or will gnaw their way in.
