Rodent Control Services

Boston and its surrounding suburbs have some of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the country. Those conditions – paired with having some of the country’s oldest buildings – have created a welcoming environment for mice and rats.

Rodents pose health, safety, and economic threats

Rodents can be found in every city, town, and countryside throughout New England and their presence brings with it a variety of health and economic threats to the humans sharing the environment with them.

• Rodents eat large amounts of food. Their urine, feces, and hair contaminate even more. It’s estimated that at least 20% of the world’s food is adversely affected by rodents.

• Rodents damage buildings, belongings, furniture, and appliances with their gnawing and burrowing.

• Rodent gnawing on electric cables frequently starts fire within buildings.

• Rodents spread disease by carrying fleas, lice, mites, and ticks and by contaminating food. In addition, mice have been linked to asthma.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) can help

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a broad-based approach to pest control that minimizes risks to people and the environment by focusing on a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and modification of cultural practices. It can be used to manage all kinds of pests in all kinds of environments and aims to remove only the target pest.

As an Integrated Pest Management (IPM)-registered company, Yankee Pest Control knows how to control rodent populations in any environment from brownstones in the Back Bay to suburban colonials in Wayland.
