Why Fordham Has a Rats Problem
Fordham's proximity to the Botanical Garden, Bronx Zoo, and multiple subway lines brings unique rat challenges, especially for buildings near Fordham Road's commercial district and the Grand Concourse corridor. The neighborhood's combination of pre-war apartment buildings, university facilities, and active restaurant scene around Arthur Avenue's Little Italy requires targeted extermination strategies that address both indoor infestations and external entry points.
Why Choose Us for Rat Extermination in Fordham
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.
