General Pest Exterminating runs routes into Bridgewater from Beacon Hill along MA-18, MA-104 and MA-28, reaching the 02324 and 02325 ZIP codes in under an hour on most weekdays. Homes near Bridgewater State University and in Bridgewater Center see steady pressure from pests tied to the local humid continental climate of cold snowy winters and warm summers.
Crawlspaces and older foundations around Carver Pond hold moisture that draws subterranean termites each spring, while leaf litter and campus landscaping near the university feed ants and wasps through the summer. As temperatures drop in fall, mice and rats push indoors through gaps in historic downtown buildings and multi-family units.
Saturday morning calls often come from students and residents dealing with German cockroaches in older multi-family housing or yellowjackets nesting near Carver Pond walkways. We schedule inspections and treatments around the university calendar and local traffic patterns on MA-28.
