Brooklyn Rodent Control & Exterminator Services

Rodents can be difficult to control because they reproduce quickly, hide in concealed areas, and exploit gaps in a building's structure.

Simply setting a trap may not resolve the problem if rodents can continue entering the property or have established nesting areas inside.

Professional rodent control in Brooklyn focuses on understanding the source of the activity and determining the appropriate combination of inspection, control, exclusion, and prevention measures.

Empire Pest Control provides pest management services for residential and commercial properties throughout the five boroughs.

 

Signs of a Mouse Infestation

• Small droppings near cabinets or food storage
• Scratching or movement sounds in walls
• Gnaw marks on packaging or building materials
• Shredded paper or insulation used for nesting
• Food packages with signs of chewing
• Unusual musky odors
• Mouse sightings, especially at night

If you suspect mice in your Brooklyn apartment or home, professional inspection can help identify the extent of the problem and possible access points.
 

Signs of Rat Activity

• Larger droppings
• Gnawing or chewing damage
• Burrows around exterior areas
• Grease marks along frequently traveled routes
• Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings
• Damaged garbage containers
• Rat sightings near foundations or waste storage areas

Rodent signs should be addressed promptly. Avoid direct contact with rodents, droppings, urine, nesting materials, or dead animals.

 

 

Mice and rats often seek sheltered areas close to food, water, and nesting materials.
Common locations include:

Basements & Cellars

Basements may provide access to utility openings, stored materials, and concealed nesting locations.

Kitchens & Pantries

Food storage, garbage, and small gaps around appliances can attract rodents.

Walls & Ceilings

Rodents may travel through wall cavities, ceiling spaces, and other concealed parts of a building.

Garages & Storage Areas

Cardboard, clutter, and stored materials can provide nesting opportunities.

Foundations & Exterior Walls

Cracks, gaps, and openings around pipes or utility lines may provide access to buildings.

Garbage & Recycling Areas

• Accessible waste can provide a reliable food source for rats and mice.
