Office Pest Control in NYC
Offices see mice, ants and roaches where food and clutter are left out.
Short answerOffice pest control focuses on kitchenettes, break rooms, storage, trash areas and building shared spaces. Habits inside the office matter, and so do routes in from the building.
Common Problem Areas
Pantries and break rooms, desk drawers with snacks, storage closets, trash rooms and gaps around pipes and utility openings.
What Tenants and Managers Can Do
Keep food in sealed containers, empty trash daily and report sightings to building management. Tenants and managers should agree who handles what.
Plan
Inspect the space and shared building areas, act on the findings and monitor. See commercial rodent control.

Questions and Answers
What attracts rats to a building?
Food, water, shelter and safe ways to move around. In practice that means garbage that is not in sealed containers, clutter and stored materials against walls, overgrown planting, and cracks or holes in foundations, sidewalks and doors. Removing those conditions makes a property less attractive, but rats already present still need to be dealt with.
When should I call an exterminator?
Call when you see droppings, gnaw marks, a live rodent in daylight, or hear regular scratching in walls or ceilings. Activity that continues after you set a few traps, or comes back after a treatment, is the clearest sign that the entry route has not been found. Food businesses should call at the first sign.
