Serving Middlesex County since 1984

Most Massachusetts towns are named after corresponding towns and hamlets in England, but Melrose was named after Melrose, Scotland, because of its resemblance to that burgh’s hills. Melrose was one of the first Boston suburbs to embrace the commuter culture. In the mid-1800s, the B&M railroad company built three stops connecting Melrose with Boston, and those seeking a quieter life than the big city could provide began taking the train to work. Many residents of Melrose still do. Both downtown Melrose and the Melrose public library are part of the national register of historic places. But none of Melrose is immune to pests. Pests like yellow jackets, which are some of the least pleasant pests out there. There are also termites, which are among the biggest headaches known to homeowners, and carpenter ants, which are right up there on the annoyance scale with termites. Yellow jackets can be dangerous, even deadly, while termites and carpenter ants can eat the home right out from under your feet.
