Rats are an increasing threat to our Cities and increasingly our suburban areas. The New York City Dept of Health has a great resource for property owners found here. It has a lot of great information on what you can do to control rat populations on your property. Rats are social mammals and can reproduce at very high rates given enough resources. We call this the triangle of life; Food, Water, and Harborage. If you deny any of these three components you will greatly reduce or even eliminate the possibility of a rodent infestation.
With A3 Superior Rat Control Programs we provide 5 very important components:
1. A Complete Rodent Survey including video inspections if necessary behind walls and between floors. 2. A detailed pressure analysis to determine what level of risk your area provides. 3. A detailed proposal outlining our control methods, frequency, expected results and pricing. 4. Computerized inspection reports with the ability to scan stations, determine activity levels, adjust treatment if necessary and provide a targeted program. 5. Pest proofing to keep rats out once they have been eliminated.

There is some more information on the Norway Rat which can be found here at Pestworld.org Also a big issue is that rodents carry fleas. Rat control methods include inspection and survey, rat traps, rat poison in locking childproof and tamper proof bait stations, exclusion using hardware cloth or steel plating, sealing all holes with cement mixed with broken glass, dusting burrows and areas inaccessible to children and pets, and reducing access to food and water. Unlike mice which can take water from their food rats need water daily to survive. In any environment controlling these things can be difficult. A3 Superior provides professional rodent control providing a broad range of products plus environmental analysis to determine weak points that will allow rats to enter and thrive. We use our knowledge gained from ongoing training through organizations like The New York State Pest Management Association as well as training provided by The National Pest Management Association to stay current on the latest tools and trends in rodent control. Coupled with our monthly training programs for our technicians and you have knowledgeable professionals ready to handle any rodent control situation quickly, safely and professionally.
It is interesting to note that several years ago NYC did a survey on rats and fleas. Very little flea issues were found. Over the past year and a half the survey of rodent population showed almost a 75% infestation rate of the oriental rat flea. This is the same flea responsible for the spread of Bubonic Plague. Don’t let rats ruin your reputation, get you shut down by local health authorities, or endanger your family or tenants. Call us to provide a plan that will eliminate your rodent issue and keep them out.
