Why Merrick Has a Rats Problem
Merrick's proximity to the bay, tree-lined streets, and mix of vintage and modern homes create ideal conditions for rat activity, especially during colder months when rodents seek shelter. From properties near Merrick Avenue's shopping district to homes in the quiet residential areas surrounding Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve, we protect all of Merrick's diverse neighborhoods from destructive rat infestations.
Why Choose Us for Rat Extermination in Merrick
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.
