Common Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Rodents are experts at hiding, but they always leave clues behind. As a local NYC pest team, we check the same trouble spots on every visit. Here are the top warning signs homeowners and business owners should never ignore.
Droppings Near Food or Storage Areas
Small, dark droppings are usually the first sign of rodent droppings in kitchens, pantries, or basements. Fresh droppings look moist, while older ones turn dry and gray.
Gnaw Marks on Wood and Wires
Rats and mice chew constantly, leaving gnaw marks on cabinets, wires, and pipes. This habit can damage property and create fire hazards inside your walls.
Scratching Sounds at Night
Noises inside walls or ceilings often mean rodents are moving through hidden entry points. Sounds usually get louder after dark when rodents are most active.
Nesting Materials in Hidden Corners
Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation piled in quiet spots are common nesting sites, often found in attics, closets, and storage boxes.
Grease Marks Along Baseboards
Dark, greasy smudges along walls form as rodents repeatedly travel the same paths. These marks build up slowly and are easy to miss.
Strange Smells Near Food
A musty odor near pantries can point to food contamination from rodent activity, and it often gets stronger over time.
Our Rodent Extermination Process
Effective rodent control requires a structured and targeted process. We follow a step-by-step method to ensure complete removal and prevention.
Full Property Inspection
We begin with a detailed rodent inspection, checking attics, basements, and kitchens for droppings, nests, and damage. This step helps our team understand the full size of the problem before any treatment starts.
Sealing Every Entry Point
Next, we complete entry point sealing across your property using steel mesh and durable materials built to last. This part of rodent exclusion blocks rats and mice from getting back inside once treatment begins.
Targeted Rodent Baiting
For active infestations, we place rodent baiting stations in safe, hidden spots away from kids and pets. Homeowners searching for a reliable rodent exterminator in NYC can trust this careful, tested approach every time.
Snap Trap Placement
In high-traffic areas, we set snap traps for a faster response to visible activity. Traps are checked and reset regularly until activity drops all the way to zero.
Live Trapping for Sensitive Areas
Inside kitchens, offices, or homes with pets, we often rely on live trapping instead of bait. This keeps treatment safe and effective without slowing down overall results.
Final Walkthrough and Report
Every job ends with a full report and honest walkthrough of what we found. For long-term protection, many clients also choose ongoing residential rodent control in NYC to prevent future problems before they even start.
Rat and Mouse Control Solutions
Rats and mice are not the same pest, and they do not respond to the same treatment plan. That is why our local team builds a different approach for each one, based on years of hands-on field experience across NYC homes and busy commercial properties. For rats, our rat control plan focuses on burrows, sewer lines, and outdoor nesting spots. Rats are strong, cautious, and often move indoors once the weather turns cold, so early action really matters here. For mice, our Mouse Control plan targets nesting spots inside walls, cabinets, and storage areas. Mice reproduce quickly, so a fast response helps stop a small problem from turning into a full infestation fast. When rats are already active, our rat extermination service uses tamper-resistant bait stations placed carefully along known travel paths. We monitor activity closely and adjust treatment as needed until the problem is fully resolved for good. For mice, our mouse extermination service combines targeted baiting with sealed entry points, so new mice cannot simply replace the ones already removed from your property. Once treatment is working, we move into full rodent removal, clearing out nests, droppings, and any leftover activity before closing out the job with one final, thorough inspection. Every solution we offer is part of a wider integrated pest management approach. Instead of relying on one single method, we combine inspection, treatment, and prevention, so the results actually last for your NYC home or business, season after season.

How to Prevent Future Rodent Infestations
Getting rid of rodents is only half the job. Keeping them out for good is what really protects your NYC home or business over the long term, season after season. Start with food storage. Keep dry goods sealed and wipe down counters daily, since crumbs and open bags invite rodents fast. Our sanitation recommendations also cover trash storage, since loose bins left outside are one of the biggest draws for rats and mice across this city. Beyond cleaning, rodents can spread disease transmission through droppings and urine, so quick action always matters more than simply waiting it out. For lasting results, many clients choose ongoing visits to catch new activity early, months before it ever turns into a full problem again. Our reliable rodent control services NYC homeowners trust keeps your property protected all year long, not just for one single visit.

Testimonials
EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on Google Isatu KamaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used other services in the past but nothing like this company. I’ve been getting the general service. Lots of experience, good products and reasonable fees. Timely appointments and would recommend the services to everyone. Good job, try this service. Would never regret it!Posted on Google Richard RobbinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from Metropolitan Pest Services! The technician was professional, arrived on time, and quickly solved our pest problem. Fair pricing, great communication, and effective results.Posted on Google Joanna LazzaroniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They’ve been servicing my building for two years, and every month I sit around all Saturday waiting for them to show up. They exclusively show up at 6pm despite the office saying the service window is 11am-3pm. Every month I call the office to ensure my unit is not missed, and either the technician just doesn’t show up or arrives at 6pm. Absolutly ridiculous that you can’t manage your technicians appropriately. Today’s technician said he got two new buildings into his route so most likely he’ll start arriving even later than 6pm …. On SATURDAYS! Awful.Posted on Google Kayla AllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were extremely frustrated after hiring five different pest control companies and still having mice in our home. Metropolitan Pest Services was the first company that took the time to do a complete inspection and find the actual entry points. They explained everything clearly, sealed the openings, and put together an effective treatment plan. The pricing was fair, there were no upsells, and the service was professional from start to finish. We are finally mouse-free and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend Metropolitan Pest Services to anyone looking for reliable and effective rodent control.Posted on Google patricia barbeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you send someone out?
In most cases, we schedule a visit within 24 to 48 hours. For urgent, active infestations, our Emergency Rodent Control NYC team can often respond the very same day.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use enclosed, tamper-resistant bait stations and place traps only in areas kids and pets cannot reach or accidentally disturb.
How long does it take to get rid of rodents completely?
Most homes see major improvement within one to two weeks. Full clearance can take longer, depending on how large the infestation actually is.

Yes, every job begins with a thorough rodent inspection NYC homeowners can rely on, so we know exactly where activity is coming from before any treatment starts.

Do you work with landlords, offices, and property managers?
Absolutely. Alongside residential work, our Commercial Rodent Control NYC service regularly supports landlords, co-ops, and property managers across all five boroughs.
What should I do if I still hear noises after treatment?
