Rat Treatment and Assessment

MMPC is known for our comprehensive approach to rat control. This service combines baiting and trapping methods with a thorough assessment of underlying conditions that lead to infestations. This service is recommended for new clients.

• We start by determining the extent of the infestation, searching for burrows and nesting sites, and identifying conditions conducive to infestations.
• To address the existing rat population, we install tamper-resistant rodenticide bait stations and, when appropriate, traps for monitoring.
• Clients receive an electronic report with photos and an outlined plan of action when possible.

Baiting and Trapping

Our rat exterminators are equipped with the latest technologies and methods to effectively address rat infestations on your property.

• Rodenticide bait stations are strategically placed in areas of high rat activity. Rats bring the poisoned bait back to their nests, leading to a significant reduction in population.
• Bait stations are tamper-resistant to minimize risk to pets, birds, and other small animals.
• Traps and bait stations are monitored for activity and refilled on a regular basis.

Burrow Removal (BurrowRx)

Norway rats often live and breed in underground burrows in tree pits, planters, gardens, yards, empty lots, and construction zones. Simply closing rat burrows with dirt is ineffective, since they can easily dig out new entrances. At MMPC we use the cutting-edge BurrowRx system to inject carbon monoxide into active burrows to eliminate 100% of rats living inside.

• The BurrowRx is a targeted and eco-friendly solution that effectively eliminates rat colonies at their source.
• When rats breathe in carbon monoxide, it replaces the oxygen in their blood and causes them to die of hypoxia inside of the burrows.
• A single service can effectively control a majority of the rat population in a given area.

Proofing (Exclusion)

The best way to stop rats is by stopping them from entering and nesting near your property. MMPC offers the most comprehensive rodent exclusion services in New York City, using advanced methods and technologies to deliver effective, long-lasting solutions.

• To prevent rats from entering buildings, we inspect, treat, and seal openings around utility lines and service conduits (such as water pipes, electric wires, air conditioning units, drain pipes and vents) and check for broken windows and unscreened vents.
• To prevent rats from digging burrows in tree pits, planters, and gardens, we install steel wire mesh horizontally beneath the top soil and seal the perimeters with cement.
• Our rodent proofing team is available for on-site inspections or other treatment needs weekdays from 9:00am to 4:00pm.

Vehicle Treatment

In New York City, rats nesting in parked cars is a common problem. They can squeeze under the hood or other small openings, leaving behind urine, droppings, and damaged wiring. MMPC can help you safely remove these unwelcome passengers and disinfect your vehicle and parking space.

• Our licensed technician safely fumigates your car, humanely and effectively killing any rodents that might be nesting inside.
• Eco-friendly repellent is sprayed underneath your car and around the perimeter of your parking space area to deter rats from returning.
