Are termites common in Boston?
Yes, termites are common in Boston, due in great part to ample moisture and an abundance of older, wood-framed homes. Termite infestations often progress quietly behind walls and foundations, causing extensive damage before homeowners even notice there is a problem. Proactive inspections and professional termite control services are the most effective way to catch problems early and avoid costly repairs.
When is termite season in Boston?
In Boston, termite season typically begins in spring and lasts through late summer, with swarms most visible from April to June. While swarming is seasonal, termites remain active year-round, often concealed within walls and foundations. Because significant damage can occur long before you notice signs of an infestation, scheduling regular inspections is essential to help protect your home from costly repairs.
Are older homes in Boston more likely to get termites?
Yes, older homes in Boston are often more susceptible to termite infestations. Many were built with wood that lacks today’s protective treatments, and years of settling can leave behind cracks, gaps, and moisture pockets that attract termites. Features like unfinished basements, crawl spaces, and aging foundations provide additional entry points for colonies. That’s why regular inspections are especially important for older properties, where damage can progress unnoticed until it becomes costly.
Will my homeowners’ policy cover termite damage in Boston?
In most cases, homeowners’ insurance does not cover termite damage. Insurance providers typically classify termite activity as a preventable maintenance issue rather than an unexpected event like a fire or storm. Regular inspections and professional termite control are the best ways to prevent costly damage.
What type of termite is most common in the Boston area?
In the Boston area, the eastern subterranean termite is the most common species. These pests live underground and travel through hidden mud tunnels to reach wood inside homes. Once inside, they quietly feed on structural wood, putting both your property and its value at risk. Because the damage often goes unnoticed until it’s severe, ongoing monitoring and preventative treatments are some of the best ways to help protect your home.
Does the weather in Boston increase the risk of termites?
Yes, Boston’s climate can contribute to termite activity. The city experiences warm, humid summers that provide the moisture termites need to thrive. Seasonal rainfall also adds dampness to soil and wood around homes, creating conditions that can lead to colony expansion. Even during cooler months, termites remain active in heated indoor environments. This combination of weather-related factors makes year-round vigilance, including inspections and preventative treatments, an important step in reducing the risk of a termite infestation.
