2. Dead Rodent

   If you would like to report a dead rodent sighting on public property, please complete the rodent report with a comment that the rat is dead and call Critter Control at 508-485-1212 to request a pickup by Critter Control. If you have a dead rodent on private property, please complete the rodent report with a comment that the rat is dead, then put on protective gloves, place the rat in 2 plastic bags, and throw it away in the regular trash. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly!

4. What happens after I report a rodent control issue to the City?

   Every rodent complaint is reviewed and inspected by a city official. If the rodent issue is on public land (including city streets), the City has a contract with a professional exterminator and will bait the area as deemed necessary by the City. If the complaint is on private property, the Health Department and Inspectional Services will enforce applicable codes and local ordinances, up to and including requiring private landowners to bait their property as deemed necessary for public health.
