How Rodent Control Works
Good rodent control follows a simple order: inspect, reduce what draws rodents, remove the animals, close the openings, clean up and check back. Skipping the first or fourth step is why problems return.

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.
What does rodent control cost in NYC?
It depends on what the inspection finds. Price follows the species, how far activity has spread, how many entry points need work, how hard the building is to reach, how much cleanup is involved and how many visits the job needs. A single mouse in a studio and a rat problem behind a multifamily building are different jobs, so a flat number would mislead you.
Can I handle rodents myself?
A homeowner with no tenants can place bait, but the Health Department recommends leaving it to professionals, and poisons that kill rats should be applied by an NYS licensed pest management professional. Owners of commercial and multi unit properties are legally required to hire one. Do it yourself work also tends to skip the entry points, which is why problems return.
