Allston is a bustling suburb of Boston. It was named after the famous American painter and poet Washington Allston, who revolutionized the country’s Romantic landscape painting movement. But before it became what it is today, its first 160 years were spent as part of the neighboring town, Cambridge.
Soon after it became independent, Allston aligned with the nearby neighborhood of Brighton. From 1850 to 1870, Boston’s population outgrew the number of homes available, so Brighton and Allston quickly developed their residential areas.
Today, a quick stroll through Allston will show any local or visitor a collage of brick apartment buildings and wooden triple-decker houses. The southern part of Allston is home to single-family and multi-family Victorian homes that the city built in the late 19th to early 20th century.
But because of these century-old buildings, and the number of college students who call Allston home, many residents are all too familiar with unwanted pests like insects and rodents.
When you need pest control in Allston, it’s best to stick to the professionals who are native to the area and familiar with the types of insects and rodents you might encounter. Luckily, that’s where Greenhow Pest Control comes in: With our fully comprehensive pest control programs, Greenhow can identify and treat any pest problem.
Older buildings like the ones found in Allston are beautiful, and they contribute significantly to the area’s local history. But if there’s one thing no resident wants to deal with, it’s the pests that tend to get in through worn-out cracks and unseen holes. With century-old properties, both insect and rodent issues are common.
We all have a perfect picture of what our lawn should look like, but getting there can be a challenge. The reality is, persistent issues like a lack of nutrients in the soil, weeds, and the presence of grubs or rodents can be overwhelming to treat. That’s why Greenhow has expertise in all things plant and lawn care. We can identify solutions and keep your lawn healthy all year long.
Sometimes, spraying bug repellant just isn’t enough to keep mosquitoes and ticks away. In fact, spraying too much can be dangerous to your health since consistent exposure to DEET can cause redness, irritation, rashes, and even intestinal problems. Instead of spraying down every time you go outdoors, it’s best to have your property treated once per season to deter these annoying pests.
Unfortunately, many things can go wrong with your plants—and much of it can be hard to see on the surface. Whether it’s a problem with the water levels, nutrient availability, or hungry pests, keeping your plants healthy is no easy task. The good news is that Greenhow’s green thumb experts can keep your garden healthy all year long.
When the seasons begin to change and the cooler temperatures begin to set in, rodents like rats and mice work quickly to find warm shelter for the winter. Unfortunately, this usually means your home. Rodent infestations can feel impossible to control, and large ones can cause damage to your infrastructure and electrical wiring.
It’s unlikely that you’ll ever see a termite, but the unfortunate truth is that these colonies infest more than half a million homes every single year. The worst part is that their infestations can cause significant structural damage, which may cost you thousands of dollars in repairs. The best thing you can do is work with an experienced termite control expert to identify any existing populations.
