Homes in East Providence: what pros run into
The East Bay Bike Path runs through the city along the old rail line, close to many waterfront homes in Riverside. Much of East Providence's housing was built in the decades after World War II, alongside older pockets near the rivers.
Kent Heights and the neighborhoods in the middle of the city are mostly single-family homes with basements and detached garages. Older houses with additions often have gaps where the old and new sections meet. That is a common spot for mice and insects to get in.
Homes along the East Bay Bike Path and the wooded edges of the city often deal with carpenter ants and mice moving in from nearby green space. Rumford, in the north, has some of the city's older and larger homes, close to the Massachusetts line at Seekonk.
Who handles what in East Providence
Rhode Island's Department of Environmental Management licenses pesticide applicators, and a pest control company should be able to give you its license information. In a rental, Rhode Island landlords are generally responsible for keeping units fit to live in, so tell yours about an infestation in writing.

What people ask us
What should I do before the visit?
Clear access to the kitchen, basement and any area where you have seen activity. Keep food sealed and do not spray store-bought products right before a treatment.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
Sometimes. The company will tell you whether and for how long, based on what they use.
Do contractors need a permit in East Providence?
Many jobs do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are issued by East Providence's building inspection office. The licensed pro doing the work usually pulls them.
