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 Termite inspection in Boston, MA
Termite inspections in Boston matter more than many homeowners expect. Massachusetts sits in a moderate-to-heavy termite activity zone, and the region's stock of older wood-framed homes makes the problem worse. Aging foundations, unfinished basements, and crawl spaces give eastern subterranean termites easy entry points. Humid summers add to the risk across Boston, Dorchester, Mattapan, East Boston, and every community Lighthouse Exterminators LLC serves. During an inspection, a technician checks your foundation walls, sill plates, floor joists, crawl spaces, attic framing, and all accessible wooden structures. The inspector looks for mud tubes, hollow or damaged wood, discarded wings, and moisture conditions that attract termites. Interior and exterior areas are both covered. Because standard homeowners insurance does not cover termite damage, catching activity early is the only real protection you have. Dan Davis built Lighthouse Exterminators LLC around honest service and affordable pricing, so you get a straight answer about what is happening in your home. Call us to schedule your termite inspection across Boston, Cambridge, Newton, Somerville, Lynn, Revere, and all surrounding areas.

Termite inspection FAQ
Common questions about termite inspection in Boston, MA.
A termite inspection covers your foundation walls, crawl spaces, basement, sill plates, floor joists, attic framing, and all accessible wooden structures. The technician checks for mud tubes, damaged or hollow wood, discarded wings, and moisture conditions that attract termites in Boston properties.
You need an inspection if you see mud tubes along foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, stuck doors or windows, or discarded wings near windows and doors. Older wood-framed homes in Dorchester and East Boston are especially vulnerable to eastern subterranean termite activity.
Homeowners insurance generally does not cover termite damage in Massachusetts. Insurance providers typically classify termite activity as a preventable maintenance issue, so the cost of repairs falls on the homeowner.
The eastern subterranean termite is the most common species found in Boston and across Massachusetts. These termites live underground and travel through mud tubes to reach and feed on wood inside homes.
Yes, a termite inspection is strongly recommended before buying a home in Cambridge, Newton, or anywhere in the Greater Boston area. Many lenders and real estate agents require one before a sale is finalized.
Boston homeowners should schedule a termite inspection at least once a year, given that Massachusetts is classified as a moderate-to-heavy termite activity zone. Homes with previous termite history may benefit from more frequent checks.
