Rat Extermination Services
Eliminating Rat Infestations Safely and Completely
Rats are larger, more destructive, and more cautious than mice. Newton Pest Control provides specialized rat extermination services that eliminate these dangerous pests from homes throughout Newton and surrounding communities.
Understanding Rat Behavior
Norway rats and roof rats are the most common species in Massachusetts. Norway rats nest in basements, crawl spaces, and burrows near foundations. Roof rats prefer attics, upper floors, and trees. Both species cause extensive damage and pose serious health risks.
Signs of Rat Activity
Watch for these warnings:
- Large droppings shaped like grains of rice
- Greasy rub marks along walls and beams
- Strong musky odor
- Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, and wiring
- Burrow holes near foundations
- Sounds of movement in walls or ceilings
Our Rat Control Methods
Rat extermination requires strategic placement of traps and bait stations in areas rats travel and nest. Newton Pest Control technicians use professional-grade equipment and follow-up regularly to monitor progress and adjust strategies.
Safety Considerations
Rats are more aggressive than mice and may bite if cornered. Professional exterminators have training and equipment to handle rats safely. We also ensure treatments are safe for children and pets.
Preventing Future Problems
After eliminating rats, exclusion work and sanitation improvements prevent new infestations. Removing outdoor harborage areas, sealing buildings properly, and maintaining yards reduce rat attraction.
