Is Wildlife NY licensed for rat control?

Is Manhattan a NYC Rat Mitigation Zone?
Yes. Manhattan has multiple designated Rat Mitigation Zones, particularly in the East Village and Harlem, with aggressive city-funded rat reduction programs. Despite this, restaurant density and subway infrastructure keep rat pressure high in most neighborhoods.
How do Manhattan rats move between buildings?
Norway rats access Manhattan buildings through sewer line connections, foundation gaps around utility entries, and shared basement walls. In dense Midtown and Lower Manhattan, rats move through interconnected basement and sub-basement networks that span entire blocks.
What does outdoor dining do to rat activity on my Manhattan block?
Outdoor dining creates consistent overnight food debris that sustains rat colonies even when indoor food storage is secure. Manhattan blocks with restaurant rows experience rat activity that spreads from commercial to adjacent residential buildings regardless of those residents’ sanitation practices.
