Frequently Asked Questions

Does humane rodent removal actually work?

Yes, when done correctly. The key is permanent exclusion combined with live trapping. Simply catching and releasing rodents without sealing entry points fails because new rodents continuously enter. Our humane programs combine both elements and carry the same 90-day guarantee as all our services.

Where are released rodents relocated?

Captured rodents are released in appropriate outdoor habitats away from residential areas, in accordance with NYC and New York State wildlife guidelines. We do not release rodents in areas where they would immediately find their way back into buildings.

Is humane rodent removal more expensive?

Humane programs typically cost 10 to 20 percent more than conventional treatment due to the additional trap monitoring visits required. However, the exclusion component — which is the most durable part of any program — is priced identically. We provide detailed quotes during the free inspection.

Are live traps safe if I have children?

Yes. Live traps can be positioned in locations inaccessible to children and pets, or in locked bait-station-style enclosures. We discuss placement strategy during the inspection to ensure complete safety.

Can humane removal handle a large rat infestation?

For severe infestations, we discuss the tradeoffs honestly. Live trapping a large established rat colony is time-intensive and may take longer than conventional treatment. We recommend humane programs for mild to moderate infestations and for ongoing prevention after an initial conventional treatment eliminates a severe infestation.
