About Rats
New York City houses an estimated 3 million rats. Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) establish complex underground burrow systems in tree pits, planters, and empty lots. They chew through drywall, plumbing pipes, and vehicle wiring, and actively transmit severe pathogens including leptospirosis and hantavirus.
Signs of Rats
Rats are excellent at hiding, but they leave clear physical evidence. Look for dark droppings about 3/4 of an inch long with blunt ends. You should also check for “rub marks”—greasy, dark smudges left along foundation walls or baseboards by the natural oils in their fur as they travel. Outside, look for active burrows in the soil and gnawed utility lines.
Comprehensive Rat Solutions
MMPC’s approach combines population control with long-lasting structural exclusion. We exterminate existing rat colonies and their burrows, secure your building perimeter, and eliminate conducive conditions to prevent rats from returning.
Methods that make eco-sense
Treatment and Assessment
This service combines initial population reduction with a professional assessment to determine the root cause and provide recommendations for long-term control. We evaluate the interior for structural openings and the exterior for active burrows and conducive conditions like poor trash management. For interior spaces, we deploy professional poison inside tamper-resistant stations and install rat-sized glue boards to track travel. Outside, we strictly use tamper-resistant bait stations without glue boards. We finish by providing an action plan for long-term control.
Rat Baiting
We place tamper-resistant bait stations in high-activity exterior and interior zones. Rats consume the bait, systematically reducing the localized population. In specific environments, we deploy mechanical traps for immediate, verifiable capture.
Burrow Treatment
We use the BurrowRx system to inject carbon monoxide directly into active underground burrows. The gas displaces oxygen, inducing fatal hypoxia in the colony. This eliminates the rats entirely within the burrow system without utilizing secondary toxicants.
Exclusion
We seal structural openings around water pipes, electrical conduits, and air conditioning vents to prevent interior access. To stop burrowing in tree pits, planters, and gardens, we install steel wire mesh horizontally beneath the topsoil and seal the perimeters with cement.

- Clear out clutter or debris from yards, alleyways, and in front of your building
- Keep gardens free of weeds and trash
- Keep tall grasses, bushes, and shrubs at least 6 inches away from buildings
