Your Local Rodent Exterminators in New York

From mice to rats, rodents are a pest no one wants to deal with. Rodents are skilled invaders that only need a small opening to squeeze through, will eat almost anything, and breed rapidly. They cause harm to family and pets, damage property, and ruin the reputation of a business. Here are the signs of a rodent infestation homeowners and business owners should look out for:

Droppings or a urine left wherever rodents travel or rest, especially in cabinets, closets, and along the walls.
Damaged materials such as chewed up food bags or shredded insulation used for nesting.
Dark smears or rub marks left on surfaces, caused by the oil from the rodent’s hair.
Gnaw marks: look for chew marks on furniture, electrical wires, insulation, flooring, pallets and food containers.
Hearing gnawing, squeaking, running, or fighting in the walls.
Seeing a rodent.

Our Rodent Control Process

Catching sight of a rodent darting across your home's flooring can be an unsettling. Given rodents' quick breeding habits, encountering even a single one often signals the presence of additional unwelcome guests.

EM Pest Control will use an Intergrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan. This means our exterminators will use baits and traps first, saving chemicals as a last resort. Upon arrival, our technicians will:

Inspect your property to determine the species of the rodent and how they are getting into your property.
Next, we create a customized and detailed treatment plan describing what we will be doing on your property.
Next, we find and seal entry points to prevent further infestation.
Finally, we offer preventative tips to keep you rodent free in the future.

Are Rodents Dangerous?

There are many problems with rodents deciding our homes are where they want to live, feed, and breed. Rodents aren't just annoying, nuisance pests; they are dangerous to both people and the environment:

Rodents carry and spread pathogens and bacteria in their excrement that can make people sick.
Rodents can quickly contaminate food and surfaces in homes and businesses.
Rodents can carry other pests such as fleas and ticks.
To keep the front teeth from overgrowing, rodents constantly gnaw on objects to wear them down. Their chewing causes damage to wires, pipes, furniture, clothing, food storage containers, and more.

Why Do I Have a Rodent Problem?

Our garbage cans, kitchens, pet food, gardens, and grill areas provide rodents with a free all-they-can-eat buffet! Homes and businesses offer rodents a warm, safe shelter for them to escape from the cold, food and water.

Where Are Rodents Commonly Found?

Rodents hide out in areas that shelter them from predators and harsh weather conditions.

Things like woodpiles, construction debris, dense landscaping, shrubs, and trees provide rodents with shelter in our yards near our homes. Garages and sheds and even your kid's playhouses can be a place these crafty critters nest. Some will also live in the sewers.

When the temperatures fall and food becomes scarce outside, many rodents will make their way inside homes or businesses. They move inside through gaps and openings around chimneys, vents, and spaces in exterior walls and around windows and doors.

Once inside, they gather materials they find to create a nest. Inside properties, rodents often nest in dark, quiet places like closets, cabinets, under floors, attics, behind ovens, and behind walls voids.
