Preventative Maintenance

Carpenter ants, pavement ants, odorous house ants, mice, rats, spiders, wasps, crickets, and pantry pests are frequent invaders. Ticks also pose a serious risk on properties during warmer months. These pests can damage wood, contaminate food, trigger allergies, and spread disease, making proactive protection essential for maintaining your home’s value and your family’s comfort.

Pests multiply quickly and often stay hidden until damage appears. Colonial’s Gold Plan creates an exterior barrier that stops pests before they enter, reducing the need for disruptive reactive treatments, expensive repairs, and health concerns later.

Common signs include spring ant activity, fall mouse droppings in basements or attics, or increased spiders and wasps. Even without obvious signs, New England’s seasonal climate makes twice-yearly exterior protection a smart choice for most single-family homes.

Yes. Many Massachusetts homeowners add dedicated tick treatments to the Gold Plan. This reduces tick populations in yards and helps protect families and pets from ticks that carry Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses common in the region.

The Gold Plan delivers two targeted exterior treatments per year at the most effective times. Technicians treat the foundation, under decks, behind shutters, around doors and windows, eaves, rooflines, and other entry points. They also inspect for conditions that attract pests and provide coverage for a wide range of common household pests.

Just twice a year. Colonial times these exterior treatments for peak pest seasons, giving you year-round protection with minimal disruption to your family’s routine.

The program focuses on a strong exterior barrier that prevents pests from entering. If a covered pest problem occurs inside the home, you are covered for necessary treatments to remedy the problem. No extra charges – just a phone call or message!

It covers carpenter ants, house ants, mice, rats, roaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, crickets, carpet beetles, centipedes, and many other common pests. Termites, bed bugs, and carpenter bees require separate specialized services.

Yes. Treatments use targeted products applied primarily to the exterior with minimal indoor exposure. Our state-licensed technicians follow strict safety protocols designed for family homes in MA and NH.

You receive unlimited free callbacks for covered pests throughout the year. Colonial also backs the program with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: if you’re not completely happy, we make it right at no extra cost.

Two focused exterior treatments per year create a lasting barrier instead of multiple reactive visits. Two well-timed visits usually means fewer treatments overall than calling us every time something shows up.

With over 40 years of service, over 15,000 satisfied customers, and a focus on customized exterior barrier protection, Colonial delivers reliable results with strong guarantees. Customers like that it’s two visits a year and that we come back if covered pests show up between them.
