Why East Harlem Has a Rodent Proofing Problem

Whether you're in a classic tenement building near La Marqueta or a newer development along the East River waterfront, proper rodent proofing is essential to protect your property and health.
Why Choose Us for Rodent Proofing in East Harlem
Rodent proofing is the permanent solution to recurring mouse and rat problems — addressing the structural vulnerabilities that allow rodents to enter rather than repeatedly treating the symptom. Our technicians — licensed or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — conduct a comprehensive exterior inspection of your entire property, documenting every gap, crack, utility penetration, vent opening, and structural weakness that could serve as a rodent entry point. We then seal each identified opening using the appropriate material for that application: steel wool packed into gaps, hardware cloth over vents and larger openings, copper mesh around pipes, and silicone or foam for smaller cracks and seams. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
