Black Carpenter Ants
Large, black carpenter ants don't consume nutrients from wood, but chew through vulnerable wood and other materials to make a nest out of your home.
Reliable and Professional Pest Control Services in Newton, MA
Colonial Pest Control has been your trusted local exterminator for pest control in Newton, MA, since 1984. Our founder-led company is still owned and operated by the original team, bringing over 40 years of neighborly, dependable service that Massachusetts families know and appreciate. From the elegant charm of Newton Centre and Chestnut Hill to the peaceful lanes of Waban, Auburndale, Newton Highlands, West Newton, Nonantum, Oak Hill, Newton Corner, Thompsonville, Newton Upper Falls, and Newton Lower Falls, we know all thirteen of Newton’s famous villages like the back of our hand.
Nicknamed “The Garden City” for good reason, Newton blends grand Victorians, classic Colonials, Craftsman bungalows, and mature tree canopies with lush gardens, historic stone walls, and the gentle curves of the Charles River. Spots like Crystal Lake for summer swims, Hemlock Gorge for scenic hikes, Cold Spring Park, Nahanton Park, Heartbreak Hill (that legendary stretch of the Boston Marathon), and the shops along Beacon or Washington Street add to the appeal—but that same greenery, older homes, wooded edges, and river proximity can invite pests like carpenter ants, subterranean termites, mice, rats, stinging wasps, bees, yellow jackets, and ticks right to your doorstep.
You love those evening walks spotting deer and songbirds, relaxing by the Charles, or enjoying community vibes in the villages—until the same natural surroundings lead to carpenter ants tunneling through damp beams in your historic home, subterranean termites quietly undermining foundations, mice slipping in from wooded lots at the first chill, or yellow jackets building aggressive nests near your eaves and decks. That’s where we draw the line. As your go-to local team for pest control in Newton, we treat every home like we’d treat our own, using environmentally responsible methods to customize a plan that eliminates your current pest issue while creating a strong, protective barrier to keep future problems out for good. We’re all about fast, reliable service that respects your property and your schedule, so the beauty and life you cherish around Newton stays outside—where it belongs—leaving your family safe and your home pest-free.
