Boston Rats

Our City

At the heart of BostonRats.org is a deep love for the city of Boston—its history, its neighborhoods, and its people. We believe that protecting the health and well-being of our city starts with understanding the challenges we face, including the issue of Boston rats.


Rats are not just a nuisance—they represent a significant public health concern, revealing deeper infrastructure and sanitation problems, and are a constant presence in the urban ecosystem. By focusing on rodent control education, we can inform residents, property owners, and city leaders about urban rat behavior, reproduction, and habitat preferences, empowering them to take informed, collective action.


Public education is a critical—and often overlooked—piece of effective rodent control. When people understand how rats thrive, they’re better equipped to reduce the conditions that support infestations. Boston deserves clean, safe, and thriving neighborhoods. Knowledge is step one.
