Commercial Rodent Removal – New York City 

In NYC, rodents are a common problem. If you have ever ridden in the Subway, you know that they are everywhere. Over the years, rodents have evolved in close relations/ dependency with humans. They feed off of our trash, garbage and enjoy living on our property. However, we don’t feel the same way about them.

Rodents are usually more prevalent during the winter where they are in search of food and shelter for the cold months. They come in through all and any places they can fit their bodies through. Given that they are able to collapse their bones in order to fit through small places, this means they can fit into almost any crack or crevasse. (some can fit in space the diameter of a pencil)

On your property rodents will nest in areas that are close to food sources. Usually, in dark secluded areas like behind walls, in attics, basements, crawl spaces, and behind large appliances.

Rodents can cause significant damage to the structure of a home, business or other building by chewing through wires, insulation, pipes, drywall, and flooring.

For restaurants or business that serve food, rodents are especially dangerous because they contaminate your kitchen and food with their urine and feces. Rodents are known for spreading serious diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonellosis, dysentery, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis. They also carry parasites like fleas and mites onto your property.
