Board approves Meerkat pest-control contract for town hall after clerk reports infestation
Summary
Town clerk reported a substantial mouse infestation at town hall and the board approved a Meerkat contract: $2,250 initial setup and $250 bimonthly (about $125/month) for ongoing pest control and monitoring.
The town clerk/tax collector told the board she had trapped multiple mice in her office this summer and presented an estimate from Meerkat to provide pest control at town hall. The company proposed an initial setup fee of $2,250 and then $250 every two months (about $125 per month) for monitoring and maintenance; the package would include emergency response and three initial visits during an aggressive trapping phase.
Council members moved to enter a contract with Meerkat and the motion carried following a second. The clerk said the contractor also recommended a deep carpet cleaning and noted that Meerkat offered an online portal for service records. No dissenting votes were recorded in the minutes for the motion.
