How do you find where rodents are entering if the entry points aren't visible?

Our specialists use behavioral evidence — grease marks, travel patterns, droppings, and gnaw points — to trace activity back to its source. We open wall voids, pipe chases, and utility penetrations that standard inspections skip. K9 detection teams help confirm activity in areas that are structurally inaccessible. Entry point mapping is always the foundation before any exclusion work begins.

What materials do you use to seal entry points, and are they permanent?

We seal entry points using galvanized metal mesh as a structural backer, followed by mortar or professional-grade sealants appropriate to the surface. We do not use foam — it compresses, degrades, and rodents chew through it. Our exclusion work is designed to be permanent, though we recommend periodic structural monitoring because buildings shift and new vulnerabilities develop over time.

How long does it take to resolve a rodent problem?

It depends on the extent of entry points, the size of the population, and how long the problem has been active. Most situations see meaningful reduction in pest activity within the first two to three service visits. Full resolution — including completed exclusion work and confirmed absence of activity — typically takes four to eight weeks depending on the complexity of the structure.

Rodent Control in Garden City

Garden City's housing stock, dominated by pre-1940 homes with balloon framing and deteriorating stone foundations alongside mid-century colonials and ranches, creates ideal conditions for rodent activity. Graduate Pest Control is a second-generation rodent control specialist serving Long Island and New York City since 1983.

The original masonry, compromised mortar joints, and numerous utility penetrations throughout these structures provide multiple harborage zones and entry points. Graduate addresses Norway Rat Control and House Mouse Control through comprehensive structural assessment and behavioral tracking, recognizing that rodent pressure peaks during fall through early spring as outdoor populations seek shelter, with secondary activity occurring in late summer as juvenile populations disperse. Graduate's rodent control approach integrates detailed structural analysis with targeted exclusion strategies, moving beyond surface-level treatment to identify and seal the specific vulnerabilities unique to each property's age and construction type. Our technicians develop science-based management plans informed by the architectural details of your home, positioning you to explore the specific services below.
