About our GradShield Preventative Plans
Fits Any Budget
All GradShield Plans are billed monthly with no large upfront costs. Plans start at just $30/month — a predictable expense that's easy to work into any household budget.
Multi-Pest Seasonal Defense
Our technicians perform targeted seasonal treatments that address the specific pests active in each season — so your home is never left vulnerable, no matter the time of year.
Free Return Visits Included
If covered pests reappear between your scheduled services, we come back at no extra charge. Your GradShield plan includes a no-added-cost warranty that gives you real peace of mind.
Our entry-level GradShield Silver Plan is designed for homeowners who want reliable exterior protection without breaking the bank. Three preventative exterior visits per year cover the most common seasonal threats — our technicians remove wasp and hornet nests and clear spider webs from your home's exterior (up to 15 feet high).
Basic Care pests such as carpenter ants, centipedes, earwigs, outdoor spiders, and more are included with no charge for extra service calls in between. It's smart, simple prevention that pays for itself the first time a treatment stops an infestation before it starts.
GradShield Gold delivers complete inside-and-out pest prevention for Western Massachusetts homes. Building on everything Silver offers, the Gold Plan adds an interior service visit and extends coverage to all structures on your property. Your plan includes our Extended Care program — protecting against silverfish, cockroaches, stink bugs, pantry pests, and more — plus active treatment for mice and rats.
Exterior termite monitoring is included to catch structural threats early, before costly damage occurs. Gold is our most popular all-around plan for homeowners who want total peace of mind.
GradShield Emerald is our most comprehensive pest protection plan — built for families who want complete, worry-free coverage from spring through fall and beyond. Everything in the Gold Plan is included, plus our full Mosquito & Tick Reduction Program with five seasonal treatments from May through October.
With up to six preventative services per year covering crawling insects, rodents, termite monitoring, mosquitoes, and ticks, Emerald is the ultimate shield for your home and property.
Lyme disease. Eastern equine encephalitis. West Nile virus. The tick and mosquito populations in Western Massachusetts carry real health risks for your family and pets. Our Mosquito & Tick Reduction Program delivers six targeted treatments from May through October — the peak activity months when your yard should be a place to enjoy, not avoid.
Each visit targets breeding and resting areas on your property, significantly reducing mosquito and tick populations throughout the season. Pair it with any GradShield plan or add it as a standalone service.
