Why Astoria Has a Rats Problem
Astoria's historic rowhouses, multi-family buildings near Ditmars Boulevard, and restaurants along 30th Avenue face particular rat pressure due to aging infrastructure and proximity to the East River. We're familiar with the structural quirks of Astoria's classic brick buildings and the specific sanitation challenges in this densely populated Queens neighborhood.
Why Choose Us for Rat Extermination in Astoria
Rat extermination in NYC requires a combination of population reduction and structural exclusion — trapping or baiting without sealing entry points is a temporary fix that invites re-infestation from the surrounding population. We start with a full exterior inspection to identify burrows, runways, gnaw marks, and entry points, then deploy tamper-resistant bait stations and snap traps in key locations along rat travel routes. Exclusion work — sealing gaps around pipes, foundation cracks, utility penetrations, and door gaps with steel wool, hardware cloth, and caulk — is included in our service to block re-entry. Our 30-day guarantee means if rat activity continues after treatment, we return to assess and re-treat at no charge.
