Norway Rat Identification & Prevention
What are Norway rats?
The Norway rat, or brown rat, is a species of rodent that has adapted to living near people. They are opportunistic scavengers and have learned that where people live and spend time, they will have multiple food sources to utilize.
The Norway rat has shaggy or unkempt-looking gray to brown fur speckled with black hairs covering their large, dense body. Their ears and tails lack fur. Lighter-colored fur usually covers the underside of the Norway rat’s body. The thick, scaly tail of the Norway rat is generally shorter than the body; the total length of these rodents (body and tail) is usually around 16 inches. Males are typically larger than females.

"I strongly recommend Combat Pest Control"
This is our third year with them. We first called because of ants in the house. I couldn't stop them. Combat did the job and we are ant-free. Combat responds quickly to an ant in the kitchen and wasps and bees nests. Thank you Combat !

"Highly recommended."
I'm very pleased with John's pest control performed on my house in south Weymouth. He has found the nest of the ants. I really appreciate his professionalism. Will hire them again and again.
