Otis sits in Berkshire County along MA-8 with direct access from Boston in roughly two hours. Our crews run routes here year-round, focusing on the 01253 ZIP where the humid continental climate brings cold snowy winters that push rodents indoors each fall.
Otis Reservoir draws mosquitoes from spring through summer while Tolland State Forest supplies ample harborage for wasps, ants and ticks. Older homes with crawlspaces near these water and wooded edges see steady pressure from subterranean termites in spring and German cockroaches in multi-family pockets.
We also cover nearby Sandisfield and Becket on the same routes, treating crawlspaces and attics before winter sets in to stop mice and squirrels from entering as temperatures drop.
