From a few ants appearing around the kitchen to rodents moving through an attic or signs of wood-destroying insects, our experienced team can identify the pest involved and recommend an appropriate solution.

If pests are becoming a problem at your home or business, call Biggins Exterminating at 978-658-5120.
Residential Pest Control in Lexington MA
Pests don’t need much space to get inside a house. Foundation openings, gaps around pipes and utilities, garage doors, vents, damaged exterior materials and openings around windows can all provide potential access.
Once indoors, pests may find protected areas in basements, attics, wall cavities, kitchens, garages and other areas where activity can go unnoticed.
Biggins provides residential pest control in Lexington MA for homeowners experiencing both active infestations and recurring seasonal problems.
Our pest control services include treatment for carpenter ants, house ants, mice, rats, termites, cockroaches, powderpost beetles, carpenter bees, wasps, hornets, cicada killers and fleas.
Rather than simply treating the insects or rodents you happen to see, we work to determine what pest is present, where activity is occurring and what conditions may be contributing to the problem.
For professional pest control at your Lexington home, call 978-658-5120.
Commercial Pest Control in Lexington MA
Pest activity in a commercial property can affect much more than the building itself. Rodents, ants, cockroaches and other pests can become an issue for employees, tenants, customers, inventory and property management.
Biggins provides commercial pest control in Lexington MA for businesses, offices, commercial buildings, rental properties, professional facilities and other types of commercial properties.
The right pest-control strategy depends upon the pest involved, the size and layout of the property, where activity has been found and the conditions contributing to the infestation.
Our team can evaluate the situation and recommend a practical pest-control approach for your Lexington property.

Lexington MA Pest Control and Exterminator Services
Different pests require different treatment methods. Knowing exactly what you are dealing with is an important first step toward solving the problem.
Biggins provides professional exterminating services for many of the insects and rodents commonly encountered in Lexington and throughout northeastern Massachusetts.
Carpenter Ant Exterminator in Lexington MA
Carpenter ants are one of the more concerning pests to find repeatedly inside a home because colonies may establish nesting areas in wood.
Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood. They excavate it to create galleries for nesting. Moist, decaying or water-damaged wood can be especially attractive.
Homeowners may notice large black ants, winged ants, repeated activity near windows and doors or small amounts of sawdust-like material known as frass.
Professional identification matters because carpenter ants require a different strategy than ordinary nuisance ants.
Biggins provides professional carpenter ant pest control for Lexington homeowners experiencing recurring activity.
If large ants continue appearing indoors, especially during spring or early summer, contact Biggins for an evaluation.
House Ant Control in Lexington MA
Tiny ants appearing on countertops, around sinks, inside cabinets or along baseboards can quickly turn into a persistent problem.
Individual ants are often workers traveling between a food source and a colony somewhere else in or around the property. Killing only the visible ants may therefore provide temporary relief without resolving the source of the infestation.
Our professional house ant pest control is designed to address active ant problems and help determine where the activity may be originating.
If ants disappear after treatment only to return days or weeks later, it may be time to call a professional Lexington exterminator.
Mice Exterminator in Lexington MA
Mice can enter structures through surprisingly small openings and then establish themselves in areas where they are difficult to see.
Attics, basements, garages, wall voids, storage rooms and areas around insulation can provide protected shelter. Homeowners may first discover a mouse problem after finding droppings, hearing movement at night, noticing gnaw marks or finding damaged food packaging.
Biggins provides professional mice pest control for Lexington homes and businesses.
Our approach considers both the rodents already inside and potential ways they may be entering the structure.
If you hear scratching or movement inside walls or ceilings, addressing the problem early can help prevent mice from becoming more established.
Rat Control in Lexington MA
Rats present a different pest-control challenge because of their size, behavior and ability to establish nesting and feeding areas around residential and commercial properties.
Activity may occur around basements, garages, storage areas, utility spaces, exterior structures and other protected locations.
Biggins provides professional rat pest control for Lexington properties where rat activity has been discovered.
Signs such as droppings, gnawing, damaged containers or an actual rat sighting should not be ignored.
Termite Control in Lexington MA
Termites can remain hidden for long periods because colonies and feeding activity may occur underground or inside structural materials.
Potential warning signs include mud tubes near a foundation, discarded wings, termite swarmers or unexplained changes and damage to wood.
Because carpenter ants, termites and other wood-destroying insects can sometimes produce confusing signs, correctly identifying the pest is important before selecting a treatment.
Biggins provides professional termite pest control and termite treatments for Massachusetts homes and businesses.
If you suspect termite activity at a Lexington property, an evaluation can help determine what type of insect is actually present.
Cockroach Exterminator in Lexington MA
Cockroaches frequently remain hidden in cracks, cabinets, wall voids and areas around plumbing, appliances and utility penetrations.
They tend to be active when buildings are quiet, meaning the cockroaches you see may represent only part of the infestation.
Food, moisture, warmth and protected hiding areas can allow populations to become established.
Professional cockroach pest control from Biggins is available for Lexington homes, businesses and commercial properties.
Persistent cockroach sightings should be addressed before the infestation has more time to spread.
Wasp Nest Treatment in Lexington MA
Wasps become considerably more noticeable around Lexington properties during the warmer months.
Nesting sites may develop under eaves, around rooflines, near decks and porches, inside sheds, within exterior openings or around landscaping.
Attempting to disturb an active nest can cause the insects to defend the area.
Biggins provides professional wasp pest control for Lexington homeowners and businesses.
If a nest is located close to a doorway, walkway, deck, patio or other frequently used space, avoid disturbing it and contact an experienced pest-control professional.
Hornet Control in Lexington MA
An established hornet nest can become a significant concern when it is located close to people, pets or frequently traveled areas.
Nests may be built on buildings, in trees or in other protected exterior locations.
Our professional hornet pest control is designed to address active hornet problems while avoiding the risks associated with DIY nest removal.
Call 978-658-5120 if you discover an active hornet nest on your Lexington property.
Carpenter Bee Control in Lexington MA
Carpenter bees create distinctive, nearly round openings in exposed wood where they construct nesting tunnels.
Activity is often noticed around wood trim, fascia, deck railings, porch components, fences, siding and other unfinished or weathered exterior wood.
Although an individual hole may appear minor, repeated nesting activity can affect the same wood year after year.
Biggins provides professional carpenter bee pest control for Lexington homeowners experiencing active carpenter bee nesting.
Powderpost Beetle Treatment in Lexington MA
Powderpost beetles are wood-destroying insects that can infest lumber, flooring, furniture and other wood materials.
Tiny exit holes and very fine powder near affected wood may indicate beetle activity.
Because these symptoms can sometimes resemble signs produced by other wood-infesting insects, proper identification is particularly important.

How Biggins Approaches a Pest Problem
Successful pest control begins with understanding what is happening at the property rather than treating every infestation the same way.
Identify the Pest
Correct identification is important because pests that appear similar may require completely different treatments.
Carpenter ants and house ants behave differently. Mice and rats require different rodent-control strategies. Termites and powderpost beetles require specialized approaches for wood-destroying insects.
Determine Where Activity Is Occurring
The location of pest activity can provide valuable clues.
We may look for areas where pests are entering, nesting, traveling, feeding or finding shelter.
Recommend the Appropriate Treatment
Once the pest and extent of activity are understood, an appropriate treatment can be selected for the conditions found at the property.
Consider Conditions Contributing to the Problem
Moisture, damaged wood, gaps around exterior penetrations, accessible food sources and structural openings can contribute to recurring pest problems.
Identifying these conditions can be an important part of helping reduce future activity.
Seasonal Pest Control in Lexington MA
New England’s changing seasons have a major influence on pest activity.
Understanding which pests become more active throughout the year can help Lexington homeowners identify problems sooner.
Spring Ants, Termites and Wood-Destroying Insects
As temperatures rise, insect activity increases around homes and landscaping.
Carpenter ants and house ants become more visible, carpenter bees begin investigating exposed wood and termite swarmers may appear during favorable conditions.
Finding winged insects indoors or repeatedly seeing large ants can be an important reason to have the pest correctly identified.
Summer Wasps, Hornets and Outdoor Pest Activity
Summer brings increased activity around decks, patios, rooflines, sheds, gardens and landscaping.
Wasps and hornets establish nests, while ants and other insects become increasingly active around homes.
This is also when nests near doors, walkways and outdoor living areas can become particularly troublesome.
Fall and Winter Rodent Control
As temperatures fall, mice and rats look for protected environments that provide shelter and access to food.
Garages, basements, attics and wall cavities can provide attractive winter hiding places after rodents gain access to a building.
If scratching sounds, droppings or other signs begin appearing during colder weather, professional rodent control can help determine how extensive the problem has become.
