Pest Guide

Most Common Pests in Cambridge

🐭

Mice & Rats

Exclusion (sealing entry points) is more effective long-term than trapping alone for Cambridge rodent problems. Signs: gaps around plumbing penetrations, gnaw marks on wood trim, droppings near appliances.

🐜

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ant colonies can reach 10,000–20,000 workers and damage Cambridge structures over 2–5 years. Signs: hollow-sounding wood around plumbing leaks, frass piles in crawlspaces, large black or red ants foraging in kitchens.

🦗

Ticks

Most active April–October in Cambridge. Transmit Lyme disease and other illnesses. Signs: found in wooded areas and tall grass, bites on skin after outdoor activity.

🐝

Wasps & Hornets

Stinging insect deaths are rare but serious — anaphylaxis risk is highest for Cambridge residents with bee/wasp allergies. Signs: nests in shrubs, sheds, or playground equipment, repeated stings from disturbing a hidden colony.

🪲

Stink Bugs

Once stink bugs enter Cambridge wall voids in fall, they emerge inside the home on warm winter days. Signs: bugs flying toward sunny windows in January, hidden behind picture frames, accumulating in attic corners.

🛏️

Bed Bugs

A single bed bug can lay 500 eggs in a lifetime — infestations grow quickly in Cambridge homes without intervention. Signs: bites on exposed skin while sleeping, blood spots on pillowcases, dark spots in mattress piping.
