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.

At Ransford Pest Control, we understand the urgency of dealing with a rat infestation, which is why we offer same-day rat control services to swiftly address your pest problems. Our experienced technicians are equipped with the latest tools and techniques to identify and eliminate rat populations in your home or business efficiently. 

Our Rat Treatment Schedule

When you partner with us for rat control, you can expect the following timing:

• We space our initial visits 3-7 days apart to monitor progress and ensure active infestations are addressed promptly.
• After this, visits may become less frequent—up to every two weeks—if there’s little or no activity.
• On average, we plan for 5 treatments, but this can range from 5-10 depending on the severity of the issue. All treatments are paid up-front.
• Additional visits may be needed after the initial treatments, or we may offer a recurring rat service to ensure long-term prevention.

Getting Rid of Rats

While our targeted approach delivers highly effective rat control, their wide foraging range and communal nature make complete permanent elimination unlikely. Even after successful treatment, new rats may be attracted to residual scent markers on your property. Nevertheless, our comprehensive control methods will significantly reduce rat activity and help maintain a protected environment for your home.
