As temperatures drop in New York City, rats and mice start looking for warmth, food, and shelter
— often finding it right inside apartments, restaurants, and buildings throughout the five
boroughs.
It’s one of the most common pest problems NYC faces in November, and without quick action, a
small rodent issue can turn into a major infestation fast.
Why Rodents Move Indoors in Fall
During the colder months, rats and mice seek indoor environments that offer warmth and steady
food sources. In the city, that often means:
● Apartment walls and basements
● Restaurant storage rooms and dumpsters
● Building voids, drop ceilings, and mechanical closets
Once inside, rodents chew wires, contaminate food, and spread bacteria through droppings —
creating health risks and costly property damage.
Can Exterminators Really Get Rid of Rats and Mice?
Yes — but long-term control requires more than traps. At Chelsea Pest Control, our licensed
NYC rodent exterminators combine inspection, exclusion, and prevention for lasting results.
Our rodent control process includes:
● Thorough Inspections to identify entry points, burrows, and nesting areas.
● Targeted Treatments using safe, professional-grade methods customized for each
building.
● Exclusion and Sanitation Guidance to seal gaps and eliminate attractants.
We don’t just treat the symptoms — we find the source and stop rodents from returning.
