Rodent Control Program

The City provides a free service for private property owners who have noticed rodent activity on their property.  The City has hired B&B Pest Control to respond to these complaints from property owners.  Property owners can request an exterminator to the EXTERIOR of their home only, we will not respond to interior rodent issues.  We cannot guarantee immediate assistance, the exterminator may take up to 14 days after the complaint is received to respond.  This program is meant to be a proactive, city-wide approach to pest management and is not designed to address complex, individual property issues. 

If you are in need of immediate assistance, residents are encouraged to secure their own rodent control services.

We will not respond to any private property address that does not have an active Rodent Waiver on file.  This Waiver provides the City the ability to grant an exterminator access to the exterior of your property to look for signs of rodent activity, exterminate any burrows, and place rodent control bait stations on your property. 

The City will not send an exterminator to your address without an active Rodent Waiver.  See the options below for how to fill one out. 

The City is not able to guarantee that exterminators will contact property owners prior to inspection.  This program is for small properties only.  Commercial and large residential properties (5+ units) are responsible for rodent control on their properties.  Properties are limited to a maximum of 6 visits annually by the rodent exterminators.  

Option 1:  Call 781-286-8311 or 3-1-1 to report rodent activity and sign a waiver.

Option 2:  Complete the Rodent Waiver here.

Option 3:  Print a copy of the Waiver and drop it off to the 311 Office in City Hall (281 Broadway).  Paper Copy

Option 4:  Use the 311 Mobile App or submit a waiver request to 311 here.

Be prepared to answer the following questions:

• What type of rodent activity have you seen?
• Is there a dog or other pet on the premise?
• Do you have a locked gate to be into your property?

Please only utilize this service if you have seen rodent activity at your property.  Do not call unless you have seen rodent activity.

Do not sign another waiver.

Option 1:  Use the 311 Mobile App or submit a re-bait request to 311 here.

Option 2: Call 3-1-1 or 781-286-8311 to submit a re-bait request. 

You cannot.  However, if you know you have rodent activity at your home, you can contact your landlord or property management team and send them a copy of the waiver to fill out.

B&B Pest will leave a doorknocker on your door with information about what work they have completed.  See an example of the doorknocker below:

Two extermination companies inspect public buildings, lots, parks, and other outdoor spaces on a quarterly basis.  You might see exterminators from MD Weaver or B&B Pest Control inspecting parks or buildings.  If any burrows are found and treated, exterminators will leave flags at treatment sites as notification to residents.  You might see bait boxes placed strategically throughout parks and playgrounds.  Please do not move or disrupt these boxes.
