In 1630, English Puritan colonists settled on Pullen Poynt, which is what Winthrop is today. Its name, which means “pulling point,” comes from the experience where colonist boatmen had difficulty pulling into the shore due to the area’s strong tides. Eventually, the town was named after John Winthrop, the second governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Today, Winthrop is made up of nearly 19,000 residents across several districts. It is also home to two historic military forts and several other five sites that the National Register of Historic Places protects. It is an excellent residential and commercial town because of its proximity to Boston and numerous beaches as a peninsula.
As an oceanside community, Winthrop is accessible through either Beachmont or isthmus that connects Winthrop to Harbor View. Its expansive shoreline also offers views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Boston Skyline.
Although it’s a highly desirable place for those around the Boston area, Winthrop residents have to deal with their fair share of unwanted coastal pests, like mosquitos, ticks, and much more.
Living near the coast is a lucky experience, but dealing with the common pests that come around marshlands is no walk in the park.
The good news is that’s where Greenhow comes in: With years of experience using family-safe products, the experts at Greenhow Pest Control can eradicate any pest population from your home or business.
It might be normal to see pests around your home—but that doesn’t mean they belong inside of your home. When pests like ants and spiders become a problem, the professionals at Greenhow can identify potential entry points, treat common hiding spots, and eliminate existing populations so that you can live in peace and without worry.
When the summer months set in, everybody wants to spend time outside to enjoy the warm weather. Unfortunately, so do mosquitos and ticks. For several months a year, these pests reproduce quickly and depend on feeding off mammals like humans and pets for food.
While annoying, this can also be dangerous since they’re known carriers of diseases like West Nile and Lyme. Be sure to get your property treated every season to keep these pests far and away.
Termites are any homeowner’s worst nightmare. These tiny pests love to chew away at most buildings’ wooden infrastructure, which can cost anywhere between hundreds and thousands of dollars in repairs.
As a property owner, the best thing you can do to prevent this expensive problem is to hire a termite control expert who can inspect your home and identify any potential populations.
You know you take good care of your plants—but what do you do when common pests like caterpillars, slugs, and beetles are chewing away every time you turn your back? Plants are delicate, and the slightest issue can cause significant distress. That’s why it’s essential that you treat your garden with safe products that can also keep these pests at bay.
It’s not uncommon to see rodents like mice or rats outside, but it’s time to take action if you suspect they’ve made their way inside of your home.
Rodents prefer warm shelters like walls and attic spaces, which makes them all the more challenging to eliminate once they’ve built a nest. That’s why it’s easier to work with a rodent control expert who can safely eradicate them from your property altogether.
