I cannot recommend Dan and Lighthouse Exterminators highly enough. We were dealing with a terrible rat infestation in our home in JP, and after hiring another company that charged us a fortune and accomplished virtually nothing, we were frustrated and desperate for a solution. Dan was a breath of fresh air. He came out almost immediately and, rather than simply setting traps and hoping for the best, took the time to understand the problem and figure out how the rats were getting into our house. He suggested that we request a free sewer smoke test from the city—something the first company had never even mentioned—which ultimately pinpointed the source of the infestation. Dan then returned, sealed the opening, and exterminated the remaining rats. Throughout the process, Dan was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in solving their problems. His pricing was also extremely reasonable. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would recommend Lighthouse Exterminators without hesitation to anyone dealing with a pest problem.

Expert Rodent Control in Boston, MA
Rodent control in Boston is not a one-size-fits-all job. Boston's older building stock, aging sewer infrastructure, and densely packed neighborhoods give rats and mice more ways in and more places to hide. Norway rats burrow under foundations and travel through sewer lines. House mice squeeze through gaps around utility penetrations. Roof rats nest in upper floors and attics. These pressures affect homes across Boston, Dorchester, Mattapan, East Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and every community Lighthouse Exterminators LLC serves. We start with a full property inspection to find active entry points, nesting areas, and travel paths. We place tamper-resistant bait stations and traps where rodents actually move. We seal the gaps and cracks that let rodents cross from neighboring buildings or sewer lines into your home. Every plan is built around your property, whether that is a single-family home, a multifamily building, or a brownstone. If you see droppings, gnaw marks, or hear movement in walls, call Lighthouse Exterminators LLC to schedule an inspection.

Rodent Control FAQ
Common questions about rodent control in Boston, MA.
Droppings near food storage, gnaw marks on baseboards or wiring, and scratching sounds inside walls are all signs to call us. Boston homes with older foundations or utility penetrations are especially prone to rodent entry.
Yes, we treat for both rats and mice across Boston and surrounding communities including Dorchester, Somerville, Cambridge, and Revere. Norway rats and house mice require different treatment approaches, so we identify the species during the inspection first.
Yes, in Boston's dense neighborhoods, rodents can re-enter from adjacent properties or shared sewer lines. Sealing entry points on your property is the most reliable way to reduce that risk after treatment.
We use tamper-resistant bait stations designed to keep children and pets from accessing the bait directly. Stations are placed along rodent travel paths, not in open living areas.
Yes, we serve multifamily properties throughout Boston, including areas like Malden, Chelsea, and Lynn where shared-wall buildings are common. Rodents move easily between connected units, so treatment accounts for shared walls and common areas.
Rats and mice behave differently, so the treatment plan differs too. Norway rats common in Boston basements require ground-level baiting and burrow management, while house mice are targeted with trapping and exclusion at utility entry points.
