Scarsdale, a town and village in one.
Scarsdale is a coextensive town and village in Westchester County, with the village incorporated in 1915. That means the town and village cover the same ground. For a rodent call the date is background, and the roofline, cellar and gaps are the substance. The practical point is simple: a pest inspection starts at your roof and foundation, whatever the records say, so call with your street.

The visit, step by step.
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.
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.
How we treat the label on your mail.
Some callers in a place like Scarsdale are unsure whether to say town or village. Either works, as long as you add the street and the ZIP code.
A coextensive town and village still contains older and newer buildings side by side. In Scarsdale, we ask about the house instead of assuming.
How we book a trip this far.
A trip of about 9.8 miles is routine. We schedule Scarsdale visits in blocks when we can, and the dispatcher offers you the earliest block that works.
What a good call description includes.
Tell us the basics and we can bring the right materials. The list below is the short version of what the dispatcher wants to hear.
- Whether the building is occupied all day.
- Which doors are used for deliveries or trash.
- Whether tenants share a dumpster or a yard.
- Who holds the keys after hours.
Reading the weather as a rodent would.
Old houses and additions can hold seams that newer buildings lack. We cannot say that of yours, but we check sills and utility entries with extra care whenever the building suggests it.
Seed spilled under a bird feeder keeps feeding animals long after the birds have gone. A tray, a daily sweep and a locking bin cut the draw without ending the hobby.
Snap a picture of the droppings or gnaw marks and mention it when you call, which speeds up the visit.
Dial (888) 686-4821What prompts a phone call.
The first sentence of a call is usually enough to guide the next question. These are typical first sentences.
- Gnaw marks on a door frame.
- Pellets in the garage.
- A nest in an old box.
- A trap that was sprung overnight.
Calling at night or on a holiday.
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.
You will never be asked to leave a voicemail for an urgent rodent call. If we are busy, we call you back, and the dispatcher tells you when.
Before you call: small steps that protect a household
Come back to this list whenever new pellets, urine stains or torn nesting show up inside.
- Even a vacuum with a good filter can send the smallest particles back out, so leave it in the closet.
- The CDC suggests thirty minutes of airing for a closed space, and only after that does the cleaning begin.
- 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.
- Should something seem off later, mention the cleanup to a doctor, who can judge what matters.
