When Are Powderpost Beetles Most Active In New England?

DATE POSTED: July 16, 2019

Like termites and carpenter ants, powderpost beetles get into the wood structures of your home and cause damage. They prefer unfinished wood and will bore under the surface to lay their eggs. As their eggs hatch, their larvae tunnel their way through the wood, eating and leaving hollowed-out tunnels in their wake.

My name is Maryellen and I have been a customer of New England Pest Control for the past 6 years. I have two homes and I have nothing but praise for anyone that I have ever dealt with at your company. My most recent experience was this past Saturday when Phil came out and did a quality control visit on my property. He was fantastic as he checked over my entire residence, both inside and out, and went over my plan with me. Along with him, I have had pleasant dealings with any of the technicians…

To look at this person one would never guess. Who would think that such a slight individual physically, and one with such a courteous, respectful manner, could possibly be a cutthroat killer of the creatures that give certain members of this household not just the creeps, but the horrors? But that's what Sandra is proving to be for us. She is smart, knowledgeable about her business, and conscientious and ruthless in carrying it out. We slept better last night because she was here yesterday…

I just had to write and compliment the gentleman that provided extermination service to my home today. This is the first time I used the services of New England Pest Control. I am a widow living alone in a and it seemed as though the bees etc had taken over the exterior of my home. Your service person, Kevin Tidd, came to my home today and spent a lot of time listening to my concerns and then checking and spraying every area of the house. He was polite and knowledgeable and I would not hesitate…

I would personally like to request that your technician, Brian Goldman, continue as the Pest Control technician at Heritage Village Apartments. Brian conducted himself professionally and, while explaining the procedure for spraying my buildings, spoke to my Assistant Manager in a respectful and knowledgeable manner. Thank you for your assistance in granting this request.

I am writing to send my every compliment to you and your terrific staff at the Big Blue Bug! I called on you in my capacity as property manger at Johnston Housing Authority. At every step you (from initial phone call to the inspection) and your people were skilled and wonderful to deal with-they are great. I especially want to send kudos to inspector Michel Wery; he was thorough and provided great interaction with my elderly residents. Again, thank you and it is always my practice to send praise…
