Rodent Information

Rodents have become an increasing problem in Massachusetts over the years. Some of the reasons for this can be due to the following reasons: 

• Increased human populations and denser communities leading to more food sources and harborage area.
• Properties with poorly maintained waste and yards provide conditions that promote rodent survival.
• Repeated mild winters.
• Prolonged warm weather leads to more rodent reproductive cycles and increased populations.
• Milder winters promotes rodent survival.
• Aging building foundations and infrastructures (sewers, roads, etc.).
• Be sure to check your foundation for potential entry points and seal as necessary.
• Insufficient rodent control programs.
• Successful programs may take months.
• Property maintenance changes may be required in order to reduce rodent populations through proper sanitation and exclusion.
