Littleton is a small town with a population of just over 10,000 people. Even so, its colonial history is rich, as it was the sixth Praying Indian village in New England on what’s famously known as the Nashoba Plantation.

Over the years, Littleton grew at a slow pace. In the early 1800s, it was famous for its apple orchards and cider produced in the town. In 1823, the Warren Gristmill changed to operate as a sawmill for increased cider production.

Thanks to the introduction of the railroad system in the 1870s, local farmers could transport their produce to the markets in Boston. Littleton farmers could diversify their crops and even focus on dairy production, although the town still primarily focused on producing apples and cider.  Today high tech companies call Littleton home, thanks to its proximity to a pool of talent on the 495 highway belt.

Small towns like Littleton aren’t immune to common unwanted pests, though. Whether it’s mosquitos, ticks, rodents, or termites, these creatures are all too familiar in New England areas like Littleton.
