Rat Extermination Serving Somerville, MA, and Cambridge, MA

We Keep Your Home Squeak-Free

The house mouse can produce 8-10 litters each year and each litter contains five to seven young mice. Within 21 days, the young are active outside the nest and within 42 days are sexually mature and ready to reproduce. This exceptionally short life cycle explains why seeing one mouse (or a sign of a mouse) suggests that several are hiding behind the scenes.

Mice aren’t long distance travelers. They stay very close to their nest if food and water are present. They eat very little only, about 1/10 of an ounce a day. Their preferred menu includes seeds, grains and generally any food materials they may find. When they do move about, it’s usually under the cover of night.

Control methods include a full interior inspection. It may also entail the application of rodenticide baits, placing of traps, and sealing of possible mouse entry points.

Serving Somerville, MA, and the Surrounding Areas

Rats are no doubt the vertebrate group most costly to the public in terms of economic damage and public health problems. Unfortunately, the rat is hardy and prolific. They thrive in a wide range of climactic conditions in a great variety of habitats. The rats adapt well to most manmade environments and can be associated wherever food and waste may exist.

Control methods include a full interior/exterior inspection of the structure to determine where the rats may be entering into or living on the property. We work to resolve those accessibility issues. We may use either rodenticide baits or traps to eliminate the rat population.
