Congers, a Clarkstown hamlet.
Congers is a hamlet and census-designated place in the Town of Clarkstown, Rockland County, with no incorporated government. The ZIP code we hold for it is 10920. We inspect the house and its gaps, not the label.
The label matters less than the lot. A yard that meets trees or an old wall tells us more than a municipal boundary does, so mention what touches your foundation when you phone.

What opening calls tend to include.
Most first calls begin with something the household noticed. The examples below are paraphrases of common openings, never quotes.
- A dead mouse behind the refrigerator.
- Droppings on a shelf.
- Scratching inside the ceiling.
- Greasy marks along a wall.
The visit, step by step.
A technician reads the evidence before touching a trap. Droppings, rub marks and gnawing show where animals travel, and the first devices go there. Sealing waits until catches slow, so nothing is shut inside a wall.
With the animals out and every entry capped, any cleanup the job needs can begin. Wet methods, gloves and ventilation keep dust down, and soiled insulation is bagged.
The year in rodent terms.
Firewood stacked against a wall gives cover right at the siding. A rack set a little away from the house keeps that cover at a distance and makes burrows easier to spot.
Heavy summer rain and thick plantings can hide new burrow mouths near a foundation. A slow walk with a flashlight after a storm shows what changed.
Planning the trip from Blauvelt.
A trip of about 6.1 miles is a short one. If you phone with a good description, we can often fit Congers into the day and offer a window on the call.
What the designation changes, and what it does not.
The census treats Congers as a place for counting purposes, and nothing about that affects service. We care about the building, its gaps and the evidence inside.
Hamlet addresses often carry another place name on the mail. If yours does, give us both, and we match the street to the right page without any fuss.

Details count. The list below shows what we ask a caller in Congers to have ready.
- Whether the house sits empty during the day.
- Whether firewood, feeders or compost stand near the walls.
- Whether a vehicle has sat unused.
- Any recent storm, roof or yard work.
Calling at night or on a holiday.
Weekend calls get a staffed line. Visits depend on technician availability, and we say plainly what is possible.
If something has died in a wall and the smell is strong, call. The dispatcher can book a visit and give tips for keeping the air moving meanwhile.
Before you call, set the broom aside
These lines paraphrase federal health pages in general terms. Questions about your own health belong with your doctor.
- Anything that breaks apart when touched must be dampened before it moves.
- Give a shut room thirty minutes with its windows open, and keep your face out of the doorway meanwhile.
- Keep gloves on for the whole job, take them off with care, wash reusable pairs and then wash your hands.
- Cover the waste and the area around it with disinfectant, and give it a rest before the first pass of the towel.
- Bag whatever you collect before it travels anywhere else, and knot the top.
- Medical questions are outside what we can answer. Feeling unwell after contact with droppings is a reason to see a clinician.
