Exclusion is critical—rats can cause significant damage. We seal entry points with metal hardware cloth and concrete. Snap traps eliminate current populations.

Rats questions from Lamoille Valley residents
Norway rats occur throughout Massachusetts, often near food sources like restaurants, farms, or bird feeders. They're less common than mice in rural areas but can establish quickly where food is available.
Rat droppings are 1/2 inch or larger, versus 1/4 inch for mice. Rats gnaw larger holes and leave greasy track marks. Our inspection determines which rodent is present.
Rats gnaw constantly and can damage wiring, pipes, insulation, and structures. They contaminate food and spread disease. Prompt action prevents costly damage and health risks.
We use exclusion and snap traps rather than poison to avoid secondary poisoning risks and odor problems. Thorough sealing prevents re-entry. Monitoring ensures complete elimination.
