Pest Control Built for Salem's Historic Homes

With over half of Salem's homes built before 1939, wood-frame construction and deteriorating sills create ideal entry points for termites and rodents. Lighthouse Exterminators performs thorough WDI Form 33 inspections and termite damage assessments on pre-war properties, identifying hidden infestations before they compromise structural integrity.

Salt-laden air and persistent humidity from Salem Harbor weaken exterior wood, mortar joints, and foundation seals—conditions that allow pests to penetrate. Our exclusion work, foundation sealing, and attic remediation address moisture pathways and entry gaps specific to coastal properties.

Salem receives 47 inches of rain annually and 42 inches of snow, creating wet crawl spaces and damp basements where rodents and insects thrive. We provide crawl space remediation, pest waste cleanup, and contaminated insulation removal to restore these vulnerable areas.

From start to finish Dan and his team were so knowledgeable about all my concerns with kids and pets being around . My issue was resolved in just a couple of visits. This company stood out to me because there was no high pressure sales pitch and the results and price so nice .

I cannot recommend Dan and Lighthouse Exterminators highly enough. We were dealing with a terrible rat infestation in our home in JP, and after hiring another company that charged us a fortune and accomplished virtually nothing, we were frustrated and desperate for a solution. Dan was a breath of fresh air. He came out almost immediately and, rather than simply setting traps and hoping for the best, took the time to understand the problem and figure out how the rats were getting into our house. He suggested that we request a free sewer smoke test from the city—something the first company had never even mentioned—which ultimately pinpointed the source of the infestation. Dan then returned, sealed the opening, and exterminated the remaining rats. Throughout the process, Dan was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in solving their problems. His pricing was also extremely reasonable. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would recommend Lighthouse Exterminators without hesitation to anyone dealing with a pest problem.

Lighthouse Exterminators is a fantastic company! From the very beginning, Lindsey was incredibly helpful and responsive when scheduling my appointment. When Dan came out for the service, he was friendly, professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure everything was addressed. He was looking to solve the problem, not just put a Band-Aid on things. The entire experience was seamless, and it's clear they truly care about providing excellent customer service. I highly recommend Lighthouse Exterminators to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pest control company.

Mollie Lane Google review · October 2026

Dan was extremely responsive from the moment I reached out and was able to get me on the schedule right away to sanitize and remove the insulation from my unfinished basement. He did an extremely thorough job, and I would highly recommend.
