Rodent Control in Manhattan, NY

Why Manhattan needs rodent control

mice and rats rank among the most reported pests in Manhattan. Manhattan's vertical density makes bed bugs and German cockroaches the dominant calls. Both travel between units, so single-apartment treatment often fails when neighboring units go untreated. Mice exploit radiator and riser penetrations in pre-war buildings.

How our rodent control works

Rodent control from Majestic Pest Control combines trapping, removal, sanitization and — most importantly — exclusion. In New York City, rats and mice re-enter through gaps as small as a dime, so we seal entry points with steel and mortar rather than relying on bait alone. Most homes see activity stop within one to three weeks.

1. 1

   Track the runways

   Droppings, rub marks, gnawing and burrows tell us exactly where they live and travel.

2. 2

   Remove the population

   Snap traps and monitored stations inside; secured bait stations outside where appropriate.

3. 3

   Seal the building

   Foundation gaps, pipe chases, roof lines, vents and garage thresholds closed with mesh, mortar and metal.

4. 4

   Sanitize and verify

   Contaminated areas cleaned, then a return visit to confirm nothing new is getting in.
