Springfield's Best Rodent Removal: Our Rat Removal Company has been numerously voted the best of its kind in the metropolitan area. It began as a small one-man army venture that has grown in a family business over the past three years. The idea behind creating and delivering these services was to help people get rid of nasty rats and other wildlife animals with ease, speed, and at flexible timings – just when they want to. Rats do a lot more than just spreading diseases, they contaminate food items, steal food, damage clothing, gnaw away at cables and wires, eat and damage the furniture, and a lot more other things. These animals must be removed from the property as soon as possible, because, apart from the damage caused, rats breed at a really fast rate, and it can be quite hard to get rid of them once they turn into a big family. The expert services that we provide involve locating the pests in any property by using advanced techniques and equipment. After finding out all of their hiding spots everywhere around your house, from the dark basement to the abandoned attic and even in the gutters, our professionals get to the step of capturing these tiny creatures. The capturing methods are all humane and no animal is harmed, poisoned or killed during the process. The rats that are removed from any property, whether it be an office, home, or an apartment, are all released back in their natural habitat so they may live the rest of their lives just how nature intended it to be. When can you avail our expert Rat Removal Services? Any time, any day, any month of the year. We're open 24/7 and are just a call or text message away in case you're annoyed with rats or scared of a poisonous snake hiding in your bathroom.

We Massachusetts's top experts in rodent control. We are not a typical Springfield rat removal or pest control company. We don't treat rats or mice like insects, because they are not - they are mammals! You can't just use poison to get rid of them, like you can with insects. Unlike most Springfield pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions. We don't just use poison every month. We solve your rodent problem forever, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas, no matter how small, with steel
• Set a dozen or more rat or mouse traps in the house and attic
• Remove all rodents as they are caught and monitor for activity
• Once there is no more activity and no more caught, we're done
• When necessary, we clean rodent droppings, replace insulation, and repair chewed electric wires

Springfield Rodent Removal Tip:

Do rodents like mice and rats feel pain?
Rodents, such as rats and mice, were often used in laboratory tests for cosmetics and other beauty products because it was believed the animals didn't feel pain. It is reported that over one hundred million rats are kept in labs and killed (either accidentally or otherwise) across the United States on a yearly basis, often forced to endure treatment and testing without any numbing or anesthetic. The way that these creatures react is testament to how much pain they feel, often screeching in pain and flinching away from whatever it is that is causing them pain.

Why is it believed that rats and mice don't feel pain?

If a rodent, such as a mouse or rat, were to find themselves stuck on a glue trap, there's a good chance that the rodent would chew away at its own leg in a desperate bid to break free. This led experts to the (incorrect) conclusion that the rodent didn't feel any pain if it were capable of physically chewing its own leg off.

Of course, we all know that wild creatures, and sometimes even humans, are forced to do pretty extraordinary things in the heat of the moment. There have been horror movies depicting humans cutting off their own leg in a bid to break free from ankle cuffs. Survival of the fittest does sometimes mean putting yourselves in situations that could be deemed dangerous. Sadly, in many cases, the rat would die if it were to gnaw through its own leg. Many of them wouldn't even get that far, with blood loss and shock knocking them out before that point.

Despite tests showing otherwise, rats and mice still don't fall under any laws that state their care under lab conditions. They do not need to be anesthetized before they are tested on, and in some cases, these beauty products can burn, deform, poison, and more, and they are even forced to ensure awful diseases in a bid to make life more comfortable for humans. Again, movies have depicted such a thing. I Am Legend shows Will Smith's character with rats in cages, given the same disease that has wiped out the rest of mankind, or left them in a "zombie" like state. Fiction it may be, but the reality of these lab rats isn't all that different.

Studies have shown, time and time again, that rats and mice not only feel pain, but genuine emotions — joy, sorrow, sadness, happiness, etc. If a rat has been kept in a cage with another rat and then the other rat dies, the original rat expresses sorrow. It will mope around, maybe avoid food and water, and generally act in a way that it otherwise wouldn't. There have been repeated cases of two pet rats dying within a few days or weeks of each other, one with a medical condition, and the other of seemingly nothing but a broken heart.

The evidence suggests, very strongly, that these creatures may just feel exactly what we feel; not just pain, but real and genuine emotions. The loss of a loved one can hit a rat hard, in many of the same ways that it can hit a person. Perhaps that is a little something that you should think about next time you're looking at an inhumane and long-winded approach to rodent removal, such as using poison?
