Common Mouse Types in Massachusetts

Rats
Rats can be a problem even in newer buldings with excellent sanitation. Rats will eat practically anything humans eat. They will eat from gardens, trees even ornamental shrubs and flowers. Rats can contaminate whatever they come in contact with. They can gnaw plastic, cinder block, wood and upholstery.

The Ransford Rat Program
Norway Rats are highly intelligent and nocturnal. While a Mouse will “nibble” on bait, one Rat can consume all 8 blox in a station in a single sitting. This is why multiple trips and a lot of materials are used.
