Our Complete Rodent Control Process

Step 1: Inspection

We start with a thorough inspection of your property—inside and out. Our licensed technicians will:
    •    Locate entry points (cracks, holes, utility lines)
    •    Look for signs of nesting, droppings, and chew marks
    •    Identify if it’s rats, mice, or both
    •    Assess the scope and layout of the infestation

We create a custom plan based on your home or building’s structure, activity level, and risk points.

Step 2: Rodent Extermination

Once we understand the infestation, we implement safe and effective rodent removal methods:
    •    Bait stations – Placed strategically indoors and outdoors
    •    Snap traps – Used in high-activity areas
    •    Tamper-proof devices – Safe for homes with kids and pets
    •    Rodenticide (when necessary) – Used with caution under NYC regulations

We focus on targeted control, ensuring fast results without disrupting your daily life.


Step 3: Rodent Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)

The key to long-term success is rodent proofing—we call this exclusion. Our team will:
    •    Seal small cracks and gaps around pipes and walls
    •    Install door sweeps, mesh screens, and steel wool barriers
    •    Cover holes in the basement, roofline, attic, and garage areas
    •    Advise on sanitation improvements and trash control

Rats and mice only need a ¼-inch gap to squeeze through—that’s the size of a pencil. Sealing these openings is the #1 way to keep rodents out permanently.



🔁 Step 4: Follow-Up & Monitoring

Rodents are cautious and intelligent. It’s common for them to avoid traps at first. That’s why we include:
    •    Follow-up visits (typically 1–2 depending on severity)
    •    Activity monitoring using tamper-proof bait stations
    •    Reassessment and adjustments to make sure the problem is gone

Our services include a warranty, so you can rest easy knowing we’ll come back if rodents do.

Rodent Facts

Why Rodents Are a Serious Problem

Rodents aren’t just annoying—they’re dangerous. Rats and mice can:
    •    Chew electrical wires, creating fire hazards
    •    Contaminate food with urine and droppings
    •    Spread diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella
    •    Cause structural damage to walls, floors, and insulation
    •    Trigger allergies and asthma in children

Rodents reproduce quickly—a single female mouse can have up to 10 litters per year, with 5–12 babies each time. That means a small rodent problem can become a full-blown infestation in just a few weeks.

A Look at NYC’s Rodent Problem: A Local History

New York City has long struggled with rats. The Norway rat (also called the brown rat) and the house mouse are the most common rodents in the area. These pests have adapted to city life, thriving in alleyways, basements, subways, and even sewers.

The rat problem in NYC dates back to the 1700s, when ships carrying goods—and rodents—arrived from Europe. Over the centuries, rats have become part of the urban landscape. Today, NYC is often ranked among the top 3 most rat-infested cities in the United States. In recent years, construction, warmer winters, and overflowing trash bins have made things worse.

In neighborhoods like Queens 11412, rodents are found in:
    •    Single-family homes
    •    Multi-unit apartments
    •    Grocery stores and bodegas
    •    Restaurants and commercial kitchens
    •    Schools and daycares

Rodents have learned to navigate buildings through walls, pipes, vents, and even elevator shafts. That’s why DIY solutions aren’t enough—you need expert help to eliminate the infestation and seal them out for good.
