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.

Expert Ant extermination in Boston, MA
Ant extermination is one of the most common pest control needs for homeowners across Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and the surrounding area. Carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants are the species most often found in Greater Boston homes. Carpenter ants are a particular concern here because they tunnel through wood to build nests, and Boston's older housing stock — including triple-deckers, wood-frame colonials, and multi-family buildings — gives them plenty of opportunity. Pavement ants push up through foundation cracks and basement floors. Odorous house ants follow moisture and food trails straight into kitchens and bathrooms. At Lighthouse Exterminators LLC, we start with a thorough inspection to identify the species and locate nesting sites. From there, we apply targeted treatments to eliminate the colony, not just the visible trail. Owner Dan Davis built this company on affordable pricing and a genuine commitment to customers, so you get a clear explanation of what we found and what we did. We serve Boston, Dorchester, Mattapan, East Boston, Revere, Winthrop, Chelsea, Lynn, Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Hyde Park, Malden, Melrose, Woburn, Stoneham, Peabody, Danvers, Saugus, and Middleton.

Ant extermination FAQ
Common questions about ant extermination in Boston, MA.
Carpenter ants are larger than most ants and are often black or reddish-black. If you spot them near wood trim, window frames, or your basement in Boston, a professional inspection can confirm the species and the extent of any nesting.
Yes, Lighthouse Exterminators LLC serves Dorchester, East Boston, and all surrounding communities. Call us to schedule an inspection at your home.
Store-bought treatments usually kill worker ants but leave the colony and queen intact. Professional extermination in Boston targets nesting sites directly, which is what stops recurring trails.
Yes, dense multi-family buildings in Cambridge and Somerville are frequent spots for pavement ant and odorous house ant activity. Shared walls and foundations give colonies easy paths between units.
Clear under sinks, move items away from baseboards, and note where you see the most ant activity. This helps our technician locate trails and nesting sites faster during the inspection.
Yes, we inspect and treat all active areas including kitchens, bathrooms, and basements across our service area from Newton to Peabody. Ants follow moisture and food sources into both spaces regularly.
