Have you recently seen termites, bedbugs, mice or ticks around your Bristol, RI home? Pests are a problem no matter where you live, but getting rid of them ultimately comes down to how you react.
Homeowners generally think all they have to do is put some traps out or spray a few areas and the pests will be gone. Unfortunately, the creatures are rarely visible and an over-the-counter solution only controls the problem, rather than eliminating it completely.
However, getting the professionals involved can be a one-time solution. At Eliminate ‘Em, we come to your Bristol property that same day, assess the situation and exterminate the pests for good.

- Ticks: Bristol’s coastal location, wooded areas, and public parks make it highly susceptible to tick infestations, particularly deer ticks. Ticks in the area can carry Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, posing a risk to residents and pets. Effective tick control strategies, including regular yard treatments and creating tick-free zones, are essential for preventing tick bites.
- Ants: Like most towns and communities around New England, ants are frequently encountered in Bristol, particularly in older buildings or those with wood siding. Carpenter ants pose a particular risk as they can cause structural damage by burrowing into wood, especially damp or rotting wood. As a result, regular inspections, moisture control, and the application of barriers around foundations help reduce ant infestations.
- Rodents: Rodents, such as mice and rats are particularly active during the colder months as they seek shelter indoors, which can present particular challenges for older buildings in town. However, like ants, residents should be alert year-round as they seek food and water, so consistently maintaining a clean home and outside storage is important to mitigate an infestation, which can cause significant damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and stored items. Plus, rodents pose health risks by contaminating food and surfaces with their droppings.
- Mosquitoes: With its coastal location along the Narragansett Bay, many neighborhoods in Bristol are breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which are most active in the warmer months. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance and transmit diseases such as West Nile virus. Effective mosquito control includes removing standing water, applying larvicides in breeding areas, and using natural repellents like citronella in gardens.
- Stinging Insects: Particularly in the late summer and early fall, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets are common pests in town. These stinging insects often build nests around homes, eaves, and trees, posing a risk to residents, especially those allergic to stings. Professional nest removal and preventive treatments can help manage and reduce stinging insect populations.
- Termites: Subterranean termites can be a concern for Bristol residents, particularly in older homes or buildings with wood siding. Termites can cause extensive structural damage if left untreated, so regular termite inspections and preventative barriers are essential to protect homes from infestation.
- Wildlife: Bristol’s blend of suburban and coastal environments attracts wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and even seabirds. These animals can cause property damage by entering attics, basements, or sheds, and they may carry diseases or parasites. Humane trapping and exclusion methods are often used to manage these wildlife issues.
Pest and wildlife problems can begin with just one ant or one mouse. Don’t wait until they’ve claimed your home or business as their own.
