Welcome To Ew York City

Ew York City is a blog dedicated to showcasing some of the gross things we come across in our travels through the five boroughs as pest management professionals.  The names have been changed to protect the innocent, but the pests, vermin, and pest conducive conditions are represented accurately in all their glory.  We hope this blog will educate our readers on the seriousness of pests and the conditions that are conducive to their presence.

The first entry is from our accounts manager Nick.  The tenants in this apartment had a little surprise waiting for them when they got up to use the bathroom that morning.  A young Norway rat had made its way into the plumbing and ended up drowning and floating up the toilet.  Prior to this discovery the tenants had been keeping a stack of books on the toilet lid to keep the rats from getting into the apartment.  Norway rats are able to travel great distances through some of the tightest conduits in NYC.  Make sure you look before you sit down.
