Why Choose Us for Rat Extermination in City Island
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.
