Rodent Control
Professional rodent control for Suffolk County, Nassau County & Queens.
Mice and rats are far more than a nuisance — they pose serious health risks and cause significant property damage. Rodents contaminate food with droppings and urine, spread diseases including hantavirus and salmonella, and their constant gnawing damages electrical wiring (a leading cause of house fires), plumbing, insulation, and structural elements. A single pair of mice can produce up to 60 offspring per year, so by the time you spot one mouse, there are likely many more hiding in your walls.
⚠️ Signs You Need Rodent Control
- •Droppings along walls, inside cabinets, or near food sources
- •Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, wood, or drywall
- •Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night
- •Nests made from shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden areas
- •Grease marks (rub marks) along walls and baseboards from repeated travel
- •An ammonia-like smell from rodent urine, especially in enclosed spaces
Our Rodent Control Process
Inspection & Assessment
We identify all entry points, nesting areas, and travel routes through a thorough inspection of your home's interior and exterior.
Exclusion
We seal every gap, crack, and hole — mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, rats through a quarter-sized gap.
Trapping & Removal
Strategic placement of professional traps along travel routes eliminates the existing population quickly and humanely.
Sanitation & Risk Reduction
We clean affected areas, remove nesting materials, and provide specific recommendations to keep rodents from returning.
🛡️ Prevention Tips
- ✓Seal all gaps larger than ¼ inch around your foundation, doors, and utility lines
- ✓Store food in glass or metal containers with tight-fitting lids
- ✓Keep garbage in sealed bins and remove trash regularly
- ✓Trim vegetation and tree branches away from your home's exterior
- ✓Eliminate standing water and fix leaky pipes or faucets
- ✓Store firewood at least 20 feet from your home and elevated off the ground
Why Professional Rodent Control Matters
Rodents are intelligent and cautious — they quickly learn to avoid poorly placed traps and are unaffected by most consumer-grade products. Professional rodent control combines three critical elements: exclusion (securely sealing every entry point), strategic trapping to treat existing populations, and ongoing monitoring for renewed activity. We also address the sanitation and structural issues that DIY approaches typically miss.
