Permanent Rodent Exclusion for NYC Buildings

Rodent exclusion is the permanent solution to NYC's rodent problem. Unlike extermination, which addresses existing populations, exclusion physically prevents any new rodent from entering your building. We seal every gap, crack, pipe penetration, utility entry, roofline access, and foundation vulnerability using copper mesh, stainless steel hardware cloth, and professional-grade sealants rated for decades of durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between exclusion and extermination?
Extermination kills the rodents currently in your building using baiting and trapping. Exclusion physically seals the building so rodents cannot enter. Extermination without exclusion provides temporary relief because new rodents continuously enter. Exclusion without first eliminating existing populations leaves active rodents inside. A complete solution requires both, in the correct order.
What materials do you use for rodent exclusion?
We use marine-grade copper mesh (rodents cannot gnaw copper), 1/4-inch galvanized hardware cloth, stainless steel kick plates, door sweeps rated to 0.25-inch gaps, expanding foam with copper mesh filler, and commercial-grade polyurethane sealant with embedded steel fibers for high-movement areas.
How long does rodent exclusion last?
Professional exclusion using appropriate materials lasts 10 to 20 years in most applications. Copper mesh does not corrode or rust. Hardware cloth is galvanized for long-term durability. Annual inspections catch any new vulnerabilities before they become entry points.
Can my whole apartment building be excluded?
Yes, and whole-building exclusion is the most effective approach. Treating only individual units fails because rodents re-enter through common areas and neighboring units. We work directly with property managers and co-op boards to coordinate building-wide exclusion programs.
How much does rodent exclusion cost in NYC?
A single apartment or residential unit exclusion typically costs $350 to $750, depending on building age, size, and number of entry points. Whole-building commercial exclusion is quoted on assessment. We always provide a detailed written quote with photographs after the free inspection.
