Barnstable was founded in 1639, being one of the first towns in Cape Cod settled by Pilgrims and European settlers. At first, the only residents of Barnstable were farmers. However, it wasn’t long after that the local merchants turned their attention to agriculture, fishing, and salt works. These significant industries contributed to the town’s early economy.
Central to Barnstable is the village of Hyannis. Hyannis is home to Barnstable’s downtown central business district which also attracts many locals and tourists.
Much like the rest of Cape Cod, Barnstable has its fair share of sandy dunes, rocky coasts, and thick woodlands. The north region of Barnstable is home to the Barnstable Harbor and the Sandy Neck Light, with miles of forests and Wequaquet Lake dominating the center of the town.
Because of its proximity to the water, many local homes and businesses are constructed out of materials like wood. Unfortunately, wood-based buildings often fall susceptible to unwanted pests like termites.
Barnstable is no stranger to termites—but combating against growing populations can be a challenge in itself. The good news is that Greenhow Pest Control has got your back: Using safe and comprehensive methods, Greenhow can quickly identify and eradicate any sized infestation in or around your property.
Our top priority is effectively managing pests while ensuring minimal impact to the environment. We achieve this through the use of Integrated Pest Management, combining strategies such as target treatments and monitoring habitat modification.
Termites may be small, but the damage they can do is enormous. These insects travel in large colony populations and are attracted to moist wood, most common around coastal towns like Barnstable. Unfortunately, identifying a termite population on your property is not as easy as one might hope.
That’s why it’s a good idea to work with expert termite control specialists like the professionals at Greenhow. One of our team members will carefully identify any possible entry points and existing populations so that we can act quickly before any real damage is done.
Mosquitos and ticks are more than just a nuisance, they’re a health risk. Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and more can be spread by these pests. Our focus is on lowering their population around your home and business, minimizing the risk they pose. With regular treatments, we can minimize the risk of your families or customers encountering them.
Rodents are a double threat, damaging property and spreading disease. By sealing entry points, setting traps, and using bait stations, we can not only rid your home or business of the mice and rats you already have, but prevent new ones from moving into your property.
