Need help getting rid of rats? Call us today to learn about about our rat extermination and exclusion services.
At MMPC, we understand the unique challenges of rat control. Our team of experienced rat exterminators specializes in using eco-friendly methods and Integrated Pest Management (IPM)Â principles to curb existing rat populations and prevent future infestations.
There are more than 3 million rats in New York City. These rodents can gnaw through almost anything, including wood, plastic, drywall, pipes, and electrical wiring. In addition, they contaminate food and transmit diseases like leptospirosis and hantavirus.
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 baseboards by the natural oils in their fur as they travel. If rats are already indoors, you might also hear faint scratching noises inside your walls or ceilings at night.
We start with a “treatment and assessment” visit to set up professional bait stations and inspect your property for entry points and burrows. If structural gaps are allowing rats indoors, our exclusion specialists permanently seal them using construction-grade materials.
For active burrows outside, we use the BurrowRX system to eliminate the nest, then install steel wire mesh beneath the topsoil to prevent future burrowing.
This service includes exterior or basement baiting and trapping, combined with a comprehensive property assessment. During the visit, our technicians apply appropriate population control methods by placing baits and traps in the affected areas. They will also evaluate the property to recommend additional steps you can take to remedy the pest issue, including whether structural proofing is advisable.
Technicians install tamper-proof bait stations around the property along with the necessary warning signs. They also inspect the grounds for active rat burrows and any conducive conditions the owner needs to correct. To effectively reduce the population over time, recurring exterior rodent baiting is always recommended.
For active rat burrows located in soil or concrete, our technicians locate each burrow and treat it by injecting carbon monoxide directly into the nest. After the treatment is complete, we recommend installing steel mesh under the topsoil to prevent rats from digging back through.
To stop rats from coming back, you have to physically block their entry points and nesting sites. Our exclusion services fortify both the inside and outside of your property using heavy-duty, chew-proof materials to keep rats out for good.
Interior Exclusion: If rats are getting inside, they are likely squeezing through hidden structural gaps around plumbing lines, electrical conduits, or foundation cracks. Our specialists locate these exact entry points and permanently seal them using industrial-grade steel mesh and specialized cement, ensuring rats cannot chew their way back in.
Exterior Exclusion: If rats are constantly digging burrows in your yard, planters, or tree pits, we stop them at the source. For persistent outdoor issues, we perform complete soil exclusion by installing heavy-duty steel wire mesh directly beneath the topsoil. This permanently prevents rats from digging or rebuilding nests in those areas.
