Ants
Ants, including carpenter ants. The inspection follows the trail and checks the wood before treatment.
What Graves treats, counted three ways
Kevin Graves has run Graves Pest Control from 22 Stoneleigh Road in Holden since 2012. Single-family homes are the specialty. Multi-family and commercial properties are served from the same desk.
The method is Integrated Pest Management. A visit inspects, treats, and excludes where a gap can be closed. The route runs from Holden to Route 128, including Worcester, Shrewsbury, Framingham, Natick, Medway, and Franklin. Hours are Monday-Friday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

How Graves counts one-time, preventative, and annual visits
Integrated Pest Management on each plan: inspect, treat, and exclude where a gap can be closed. The difference is how often the visit comes back.
01
One-time service
A single visit. Inspection comes first, then treatment for what is present, and exclusion where a gap can be closed on that trip.
Request a callback02
Preventative IPM
Two to four visits a year. Each stop still opens with an inspection before treatment or exclusion.
Request a callback03
Annual IPM
Quarterly visits through the year. The order of work stays inspect, treat, and exclude where a gap can be closed.
Request a callbackThis is a callback request, not a confirmed appointment.
