Is Wildlife NY licensed for rat control?
Yes. Wildlife NY holds a New York State DEC Nuisance Wildlife Control license. All work in Fresh Meadows is performed by licensed, insured professionals using humane methods.
Why is rat activity so high in Flushing, Queens?
Flushing’s dense commercial district, with open-air markets and high restaurant concentration on Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue, creates an exceptionally rich food environment for rats. Sewer infrastructure in the area is aging and provides interconnected rat travel routes throughout the neighborhood.
Do rats in Queens carry disease?
Yes. Norway rats in Queens carry leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and salmonella. Flooded basements after heavy rain in low-lying areas like Howard Beach and South Ozone Park are particularly high-risk for leptospirosis exposure through rat urine contamination.
How do Norway rats differ from roof rats in Queens?
Norway rats, which are by far the more common species in Queens, burrow in soil and enter buildings at ground level through foundation gaps. Roof rats, which are rare in New York, climb and enter through upper building levels. The burrow evidence outside your home usually confirms Norway rats.
