Located in central Essex County, Ipswich is a small town about 28 miles northeast of Boston.

However, the very elements that lend this town its beauty are also the perfect spots for harboring pests that can get infest the area’s homes and businesses.

Getting to Know Ipswich, Massachusetts

Settled nearly 400 years ago in 1630, Ipswich, Massachusetts was named after Ipswich in Suffolk, England, in honor of the kindness of that town’s residents when shipping items between the two areas. Early pioneers focused on farming, fishing, shipbuilding, and trading; eventually, lace making emerged as a cottage industry in the area.

In 1687, nearly 100 years before the American Revolution, residents protested a tax imposed by the governor, based on the idea that taxation without representation was not fair. Because of that, Ipswich is considered to be the “birthplace of American independence”. Through the years, the town has grown and changed, but it has not lost its quaint feel. Now home to around 15,000 residents, Ipswich is a bucolic tourism center that attracts people from around the world.

What to Do When You See Pests

If you see a pest in your home, you should start the extermination process as quickly as possible. Depending on the type of pest and any special concerns for children or pets, you may lay out traps, place poisons, or try other extermination methods. In some cases, there may simply be a single pest in your home, which you can get rid of on your own. But often, the sighting of one pest indicates the presence of others hiding in nests in walls, under floors, or in other parts of your property.

Signs that you may have additional pests include scratching sounds in the walls, bug carcasses on window sills or along floor boards, rodent droppings, bite marks in stored foods, the appearance of nests, or holes along exterior or interior walls. Pests are successful around the world, because of their ability to breed quickly and to thrive in relatively inhospitable environments. To protect yourself and your home, you should contact a professional immediately.
