Holden sits northwest of Worcester with reservoirs that boost mosquito and midge pressure once warm summer nights arrive. Subterranean termites swarm in spring along MA-31 and MA-122A corridors where older crawl-space homes meet moist soil near Asnebumskit Hill.
Fall brings rodents indoors as temperatures drop; mice and rats push into basements and attics in Jefferson and Holden Center neighborhoods. Our crews leave Boston on MA-68 and reach 01520 routes in under an hour, treating the same properties year after year.
General Pest Exterminating runs weekly routes through Holden Center and Jefferson, focusing on the housing stock and vegetation that create the local pressure.
