Yarmouth is one of the oldest towns in Cape Cod, having been founded by Pilgrims in the Plymouth Colony in 1639. Like many other parts of Massachusetts, Yarmouth’s original land was occupied by Wampanoag and Algonquin Native Americans. Later on, during the American Revolution, Yarmouth was a popular site for the Sons of Liberty, a small organization that fought to advance colonists’ rights.
Early on, Yarmouth depended on farming pigs, cattle, and sheep. Quickly, farmers and merchants moved onto collecting firewood, shipbuilding, and general construction thanks to the vast woodlands around the town. Despite its agriculture and access to forests, much of the city depended on the ocean for its way of life, with fishers, whalers, and traders making up much of the community.
Today, Yarmouth is a bustling yet small city of around 24,000 residents, with South Yarmouth, West Yarmouth, and Yarmouth Port as its main villages. The southern shore is known for its beaches and plenty of untouched forestland throughout the town. Unfortunately, areas like these can produce unwanted pests like termites that can infest locals’ homes and businesses.
Areas like Yarmouth are not immune to dangerous pests like termites. The good news is that Greenhow can safely and comprehensively identify and eradicate any sized population, which can save your home’s infrastructure—and thousands of dollars in the long run.
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.
It only takes three to eight years for a termite population to do significant damage to your home, but being able to identify that there is even an infestation is challenging. These large populations quietly chew away at your home’s infrastructure by building their colonies inside of the walls of homes and buildings. This makes recognizing an infestation at the right time nearly impossible.
Whether or not you suspect you have termites, it’s a good idea to work with an expert termite control specialist like the professionals at Greenhow Pest Control. One of our expert team members will come out to your property to inspect for any potential populations—and, if there are any, then Greenhow can safely and quickly remove them before any further 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.
