Ticks are a growing health concern across Massachusetts. Blacklegged (deer) ticks and other species thrive in the transition zones around homes—leaf litter, shrubs, under decks, and the edges where lawn meets woods. A single bite can carry serious risks for your family and pets.
Colonial’s Platinum Plan is the complete solution: the proven Gold-level exterior preventative maintenance program plus professional tick control and prevention, all in two scheduled visits per year.
Ticks
Ticks aren’t just a nuisance here — they’re a real health concern
Platinum Preventative Maintenance with Ticks
Protect your home from pests and your yard from ticks (MA only)
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants target damp or decaying wood — near leaky roofs, attached decks, and additions
Wasps and Hornets
Wasps and Hornets can cause painful stings and dangerous reactions
Seasonal Invaders
Occasional pests that primarily live outdoors can sneak into your home at predictable times of year
Rodent Control
These highly adaptable mammals enter properties seeking warmth, food, and shelter
Cockroach Control
In most cases, one sighting signals a larger hidden infestation
Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees drill perfect round holes into your deck, fascia boards, eaves, and trim
Ants
Ants in your home can range from annoying to destructive
