Rodent Control FAQ for New York City Homeowners

How often should New York City homeowners get rodent control?
Given New York City's harsh winters with freeze-thaw cycles damaging masonry, most homeowners benefit from rodent control at least once a year. Winter ice dam formation on flat roofs often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New York City most need rodent control?
Brownstones and townhouses and Pre-war apartment buildings are the most common home types in New York City and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How do mice get into my house?
Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime (1/4 inch). Common entry points: foundation cracks, gaps around pipes and wires, door gaps, dryer vents, and roof/gutter junctions.
Is exclusion really necessary or will baiting be enough?
Baiting reduces the current population, but without exclusion, new mice will continue entering. Exclusion is the only permanent solution — treating the source rather than the symptom.
Can rodents come back after treatment?
Without exclusion, yes — new individuals will enter. With proper exclusion and monitoring, reinfestation is rare. Annual monitoring is recommended for previously infested properties.
Are rodent droppings dangerous?
Yes. Rodent droppings can carry hantavirus, salmonella, and other pathogens. Never dry-sweep droppings — they should be wetted with disinfectant before removal, or hire a professional for large infestations.
