Dobbs Ferry, a Greenburgh village.
Dobbs Ferry is a village in the Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County. We print no incorporation year for it, since a date helps nobody inspect a roofline.
What does help is your street, your ZIP code, 10522, and a short description of what you found. Add the part of the house where it seems worst.

What you can expect at the door.
The return visit is part of the plan, not an extra. It lets us count catches, tug on every seal and decide whether the job is finished.
Pets and children should stay clear of trap locations. We show you every device, and we tell you what to do if one springs while we are away.
When trouble tends to start.
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.
Late-winter attic noises often come from animals that moved in during the coldest weeks. Note the hour and the room, and leave the insulation alone until a technician has looked.
What we need to know before we arrive.
We cannot assume anything about your property from the place name alone. So we ask, and the answers steer the plan.
- Whether children or pets use the area.
- What the noise sounds like and at what hour.
- Whether you have set traps or put out bait.
- When the signs first appeared.
Labels aside, the visit looks the same.
Within a village, lots can be small and close together. In Dobbs Ferry, that means one neighbor's cluttered garage can matter to you, and we say so honestly if the evidence points that way.

Triggers for a call.
People rarely call about rodents in the abstract. They call because of something specific, and the list below shows how it usually starts.
- Footsteps overhead after the house settles.
- Shredded paper in a drawer.
- A hole near the baseboard.
- A pet staring at a wall.
Reaching us outside business hours.
A late call is common. Many people only hear the problem when the house is quiet, so the desk is staffed through the night.
If the matter is urgent, say so at the start. The dispatcher asks where you are, what you found and whether anyone is at risk, then names the earliest slot.
Before you call: keep yourself safe in the meantime
Use these steps to keep dust low while you wait for a visit.
- Brooms and vacuums are the wrong tools, because both stir settled droppings into the air where you breathe them.
- Stale, closed air holds whatever floats in it, so let a long-shut room breathe before you begin.
- Disposable gloves work well, and a thorough hand wash belongs at the end of the work.
- Drench the pellets and the surface beneath them in disinfectant, or in bleach mixed with water, and let it stand about five minutes.
- Put used towels in a plastic bag along with any dead rodent, which you move with gloves or a tool and never with bare fingers.
- Should something seem off later, mention the cleanup to a doctor, who can judge what matters.
