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.

FAQs
Do you offer rodent control in Queens, NY?
Yes. We provide professional rodent control in Queens, NY for mice and rats, including removal, entry-point sealing (exclusion), and prevention to stop them from coming back.
Do you offer 24-hour rodent exterminator service?
Yes. We offer 24-hour pest control service for urgent rodent situations like mice or rats actively inside the home, heavy droppings, or sudden nighttime activity.
How do I know if I have mice or rats in my house?
Common signs include droppings, scratching noises at night, chewed food packaging, gnaw marks on wood/wires, grease rub marks along baseboards, and nests made of shredded paper or insulation.
If I see one mouse, do I have an infestation?
Usually, yes. Seeing one mouse often means others are nesting nearby. Quick treatment prevents breeding and helps avoid bigger damage.
What attracts mice and rats to a home or apartment?
Rodents look for food, water, and shelter. Unsealed pantry items, trash, pet food, leaks, damp basements, clutter, and warm wall voids are common attractants—especially in colder months.
Where do mice and rats enter a home?
Common entry points include gaps under doors, holes around pipes under sinks, cracks in foundations/basements, openings around utility lines, dryer vents, and gaps around windows or AC lines.
How small of a hole can a mouse fit through?
Mice can squeeze through very small openings. That’s why sealing cracks and gaps is a key part of long-term rodent control.
Do you seal holes for mice and rats?
Yes. Rodent control works best when removal is combined with sealing entry points (exclusion). Sealing helps stop re-entry and reduces repeat infestations.
Should I seal holes before the exterminator comes?
Not usually. Sealing too early can trap rodents inside. A professional should identify active entry points first, remove the rodents, then seal strategically for long-term results.
Do traps work better than bait for rodents?
It depends on the situation. Some jobs require trapping, some require baiting (when appropriate), and many use both—plus monitoring and exclusion. The best method depends on activity level and the layout of the home/building.
How long does it take to get rid of mice?
Many homes see improvement quickly, but full control depends on entry points and nesting areas. Removal plus sealing is the fastest path to long-term results.
How long does it take to get rid of rats?
Rats can require more monitoring than mice. A structured plan with removal, targeted placements, and exclusion typically produces the best results.
Is rodent control safe for kids and pets?
Yes, when performed properly. Treatments are targeted and include clear safety and re-entry instructions. We also recommend simple prevention steps to keep the home protected.
Why do mice keep coming back after treatment?
The most common reason is open entry points. Other causes include accessible food/trash, moisture leaks, clutter, and building-wide rodent pressure in multi-family housing.
What should I do if I find rodent droppings?
Avoid sweeping or vacuuming dry droppings. Use gloves, disinfectant, and proper cleanup methods—and schedule service quickly to locate the source and prevent ongoing contamination.
Can rodents damage my home?
Yes. Rodents chew wires, wood, insulation, and piping materials. This can create expensive repairs and serious safety risks, so early removal and sealing is important.
Do you treat apartments and multi-family buildings for rodents?
Yes. In apartments, rodents can travel through pipe chases and shared walls. Treatment often focuses on hotspots, entry points, and prevention strategies to reduce re-entry.
What’s included in professional rodent extermination?
A strong rodent plan often includes inspection, removal (trapping/baiting when appropriate), sealing key entry points, sanitation guidance, and follow-up monitoring.
Do you offer follow-up visits for rodent control?
Yes. Follow-ups help confirm activity is controlled and ensure sealing and prevention are working—especially in buildings with shared walls or ongoing pressure.
How can I prevent mice and rats long-term?
Seal gaps, add door sweeps, store food in sealed containers, keep trash covered, fix leaks, reduce clutter, and maintain basements/utility areas. Ongoing service can help in high-pressure areas.
