Homes in Cambridge: what pros run into
The city's Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance requires larger buildings to report energy use every year. Much of East Cambridge grew up around factories near the Charles River and Lechmere.
Cambridgeport's triple-deckers went up mostly in the late 1800s as housing for factory workers. Building-wide treatment often works better than single units for pests in multifamily buildings.
Mice head indoors in the fall as temperatures drop, and calls spike from October through winter. Water travels from Stony Brook to Fresh Pond through an underground conduit about 7.7 miles long.
Rules and utilities worth knowing
Pesticide applicators in Massachusetts are licensed by the Department of Agricultural Resources. Renters should report pests to the landlord in writing, since many local codes make treatment the owner's responsibility. Neighbors often share the same pests, so a building-wide or block-wide approach can work better than treating one unit alone.

Common questions
What is integrated pest management?
It combines prevention, monitoring and targeted treatment to reduce pesticide use. It focuses on fixing the conditions that let pests in, such as moisture, food sources and gaps in the building.
How do I prevent mice?
Seal gaps around pipes and doors, store food in sealed containers and keep clutter down. Mice can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil, so small holes around pipes and vents matter.
Do you cover Mid-Cambridge and Mid-Cambridge?
Our network reaches Mid-Cambridge, North Cambridge, East Cambridge and Riverside and the rest of Cambridge (02138, 02139, 02140, 02141, 02142). Whether a pro can come depends on their schedule, and we will let you know quickly either way.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the pest. Roaches and bed bugs often take more than one visit. Ants and spiders may clear up in one visit, while roaches, rodents and bed bugs usually need follow-ups spaced a few weeks apart.
We are a referral service, so the pro you speak with sets the schedule and the price. Ask your questions before you agree to anything.
