Pest Control RI Services Overview
It may be the smallest state in the United States, but Rhode Island has no shortage of pests, including bugs, rodents, and wildlife. Spanning just 1,214 square miles, the state is home to approximately 1.1 million people.
It also boasts a mighty coastline, with 384 miles of shoreline and gorgeous beaches that attract more than 26 million visitors on average every year. Tourism is a major industry in the state, pumping billions of dollars into the economy. Other thriving industries include cyber and data analytics, biomedicine, defense shipbuilding, and manufacturing.

Bugs
Tick and mosquito populations have been steadily increasing in Rhode Island in recent years. Both critters carry potentially serious diseases, including Lyme, Zika, and West Nile diseases. Other wicked common bugs in The Ocean State include:
Rodents
Rodents are typically diminutive in size but can make a significant mess indoors. Worse, rodent populations increase quickly, and these critters have been known to carry different diseases, posing as a significant health hazard for people and pets.
Common rodents in Rhode Island include deer mice, Norway rats, voles, and flying squirrels.
Wildlife
Once nuisance wildlife makes their way inside homes and businesses, trouble surely follows. These critters can create significant structural damage, pose potential health hazards as they leave their droppings behind, and make a mess of insulation, food, and other items.
Common nuisances in Rhode Island include squirrels, bats, skunks, birds, and raccoons.
RI Pest Control Frequently Asked Questions
How Much is a Pest Inspection in Rhode Island?
Residents and business owners throughout the state can anticipate receiving a free pest inspection from Catseye to determine the needs of the home or business.
What is the Biggest Bug in Rhode Island?
The state might be small, but it’s home to some very big bugs. Broad-necked root borers are beetles that grow as large as three inches and the American Giant millipede grows as long as five inches.
Are Landlords Responsible for Pest Control in Rhode Island?
In single dwelling units, all occupants share responsibility. For tenants of multi-dwelling units, the rules are a bit unique. If the pest problem only affects one section, responsibility falls on the tenant. If the building has two or more units and the pest problem affects multiple units, the landlord must provide pest control measures. However, when pest problems are related to the landlord’s negligence, the landlord is solely responsible.
Does Rhode Island Have Cockroaches?
At least four species of cockroaches call RI home, including German, Oriental, and Brown Banded cockroaches. The most common one, the American cockroach, typically lives outdoors but often come into homes and businesses in search of food and water.
