Where We Work
What an Inspection Looks At

Questions and Answers
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.
How do I report a rat problem in NYC?
Use 311, online or by phone, and give the exact address and where on the property you saw activity. The Health Department cannot inspect without enough location detail, and it can only inspect areas it can reach. If the problem is inside an apartment, basement or backyard, include contact details so an inspector can arrange access.
