Gardner sits in Worcester County under a humid continental climate that brings cold winters and warm summers, pushing subterranean termites to swarm in spring while rodents enter structures once temperatures drop in fall.
Older housing stock around Gardner Center and West Gardner with crawlspaces and wood-frame construction near wooded edges and Lake Wampanoag experiences steady pressure from ants, wasps and mosquitoes during the warm months.
Crews reach Gardner from Beacon Hill via MA-2 and MA-140, covering ZIP 01440 and extending to nearby Westminster, Ashburnham and Winchendon on the same routes.
