Mice and rats in your Newton home are more than a nuisance — they're a health hazard and a structural threat. Our rodent control specialists eliminate active infestations and seal entry points to keep rodents out permanently.
Call (617) 249-7397Rodent infestations are one of the most common pest problems facing Newton, MA homeowners. Mice and rats are year-round residents in Newton's dense residential neighborhoods, and they actively seek entry into homes as temperatures drop in fall and winter. Once inside, rodents contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, spread disease, and reproduce rapidly — a single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in a matter of months. Newton Lawn Care & Landscaping provides comprehensive rodent control services that eliminate active infestations and prevent future entry through professional exclusion techniques.
Newton's older housing stock presents particular challenges for rodent control. Homes built before 1970 often have foundation gaps, deteriorated weatherstripping, and utility penetrations that provide easy rodent entry points. Newton's abundant landscaping, bird feeders, and compost bins provide food sources that attract rodents to properties. Our rodent control specialists understand these Newton-specific challenges and provide targeted solutions that address both the active infestation and the conditions that allowed it to develop.
Don't ignore signs of rodents in your Newton home. Rodents can chew through electrical wiring (a leading cause of house fires), contaminate food with droppings and urine, and spread diseases including hantavirus and salmonella. Call (617) 249-7397 now for professional rodent control in Newton, MA. Same-day service is available for active infestations.

(617) 249-7397How It Works
We inspect your entire Newton property — interior and exterior — to identify rodent species, entry points, nesting sites, and the extent of the infestation.
We deploy professional-grade traps and/or tamper-resistant bait stations in strategic locations to eliminate the active rodent population in your Newton home.
We seal all identified entry points — foundation gaps, utility penetrations, door gaps, and other openings — using professional-grade materials that rodents cannot chew through.
We return to check traps, remove rodents, and verify that exclusion is complete. We continue monitoring until all activity has ceased.
Rodents are primarily nocturnal and secretive, so many Newton homeowners don't realize they have a rodent problem until the infestation is well established. The most common signs of rodent activity in Newton homes include: droppings — mouse droppings are small (1/4 inch), dark, and pointed at both ends; rat droppings are larger (3/4 inch) and capsule-shaped; gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, wiring, and other materials; scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or under floors, especially at night; nesting material (shredded paper, insulation, fabric) in hidden areas; and greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards where rodents travel repeatedly. If you notice any of these signs in your Newton home, call (617) 249-7397 immediately. Rodent populations grow quickly — what starts as a few mice can become dozens within weeks.
Trapping and baiting eliminate the rodents currently in your Newton home, but without exclusion — sealing the entry points they used to get in — new rodents will simply replace them. Professional rodent exclusion is the most important component of a lasting rodent control solution. Our Newton rodent control specialists conduct a thorough exterior inspection to identify every potential entry point: gaps around pipes and utility penetrations, cracks in the foundation, gaps under doors and around windows, deteriorated weatherstripping, and openings in the roofline. We seal these entry points using materials that rodents cannot chew through — copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth, and professional-grade caulk and foam. A properly excluded Newton home will not have recurring rodent problems, making exclusion the most cost-effective long-term rodent control investment.
Newton's older housing stock has many common rodent entry points that our specialists know to look for. Mice can squeeze through a gap as small as a dime (1/4 inch), and rats can enter through openings as small as a quarter (1/2 inch). Common entry points in Newton homes include: gaps around water pipes, gas lines, and electrical conduit where they enter the foundation; cracks in the foundation, especially at the sill plate where the wood framing meets the foundation; gaps under garage doors and around garage door frames; deteriorated weatherstripping on exterior doors; gaps around HVAC lines and dryer vents; and openings in the soffit and fascia where the roof meets the exterior walls. Our exclusion service addresses all of these entry points systematically, ensuring that your Newton home is properly sealed against rodent entry.
Effective rodent control in Newton, MA requires addressing not just the rodents inside your home but also the conditions outside that attract them to your property. Overgrown landscaping, dense ground cover, wood piles, and debris provide ideal rodent harborage near your Newton home. Bird feeders and compost bins provide food sources that sustain rodent populations on your property. Our lawn care and landscaping services can help reduce these attractants — proper lawn maintenance, landscape cleanup, and debris removal create a less hospitable environment for rodents around your Newton home. Combined with our professional rodent exclusion service, this integrated approach provides the most comprehensive and lasting rodent control solution for Newton homeowners.
