When you choose to work with us, you get a company with more than 128 years of experience to get rid of rats in your home.
Our rat control service includes (as needed):
- A comprehensive rat inspection in your home or business.
- Bait stations to ensure quick, complete elimination of all rats living on your property, inside and out.
- Snap or pneumatic reusable traps to speed up elimination and minimize pesticide use.
- Liaisons to your local health department if needed.
- Direct baiting of rat burrows on the property with meal or pellet bait.
- Use of our BurrowRX or LiphaTech CO2 machine if needed. These can eliminate rats in their burrows while reducing the amount of rodenticides we use. Eliminating rats while still in the burrows also reduces clean-up and the risk of secondary poisoning.

Types of Rats Commonly Found in Massachusetts
Brown/Norway Rats
Brown rats, also known as Norway rats, are a prevalent pest in Massachusetts, particularly in urban and suburban areas. These rats are notorious for their ability to adapt to various environments, often nesting in sewers, basements, and other hidden places close to human activity. They typically live in burrows in the ground, allowing them to infest almost any property, but they are also strong climbers and swimmers. Combine this with the fact that they are willing to travel for over a mile just to reach a water source, and it’s not hard to see how they manage to pose a problem for entire communities at once. In the past few years, we have seen a huge increase in the number of calls we get to deal with these rats.
Black/Roof Rats
Black rats, also known as roof rats, are not well established in Massachusetts, but sometimes hitchhike on ships from the South, so they are found mainly in coastal regions. These agile rats are excellent climbers, often nesting in attics, rafters, and roof spaces.
Get Rid of Rats ASAP
Rats can cause significant damage to properties by gnawing through electrical wires, insulation, and even concrete, leading to potential fire hazards and structural issues. Moreover, they pose serious health risks as they are known carriers of diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through their droppings, urine, or bites. Effective control and prevention measures are crucial to mitigate the impact of these resilient pests on public health and safety in Massachusetts.
