Property Managers
Treated building four in March.
By June, building seven was calling.
Treating one address creates open territory that the surrounding block fills. Sometimes that pressure moves into the building next door — which you also manage. The 90-day program reduces how many rats fill back in across every address, not just the one that complained last.
Start the 90-day programWhat reactive treatment actually costs
You're paying per building. The problem doesn't stay per building.
Reactive treatment works as a single-building expense when the problem is isolated to one building. Once it cycles across multiple buildings, the math changes.
per building on a standard schedule
Typical commercial pest control contract: monthly or bi-monthly service visits per address
before replacement colony forms
Empty urban territory fills from surrounding blocks within a single treatment cycle
NYC HPD rodent condition
Each 311 complaint triggers an HPD inspection. A pattern of open violations compounds enforcement risk
every tenant complaint on record
NYC open data tracks rodent complaints by address. Repeat complaints follow the building
NJ property managers face equivalent exposure under municipal health codes. Tenant complaints route to local health departments, and a complaint creates a record that persists even after treatment.
Why treating one building creates pressure on the next
When you treat one building, the surrounding population detects the empty territory.
When a treatment clears a building, it creates open territory in a dense urban block. Rats from surrounding buildings — including other properties you manage — detect the vacancy and start filling it. The treatment you paid for in building four effectively pulls the problem toward building seven.
When you manage multiple buildings and treat each one separately, there's always an active complaint somewhere in the rotation. The buildings share the same block pressure. Treating them one at a time keeps that pressure moving, not declining.
Active population removed. Building clears the next inspection.
Surrounding rats detect the open space. Pressure starts shifting.
Tenant complaint filed next door. 311 logged. Inspection scheduled.
The first building is already rebuilding. Cycle now runs across both addresses.
Active complaint moves building to building. Spend accumulates. Problem doesn't decline.
How it works for property managers
One program across every address. Your existing vendors stay.
We layer fertility management on top of whatever pest control is already running at each building. Your per-building vendor contracts don't change. Every address gets a single coordinating layer that addresses what individual treatments can't.
Knockdown at each address
Your per-building exterminators handle treatment. We coordinate with them to get a clean documented baseline at each address before the fertility management starts. No contract disruption, no new vendor relationships required.
Produces the treatment records and compliance documentation for HPD and municipal health requirements.
Slow the replacement across every address
Evolve bait stations go into common areas, utility corridors, exterior perimeters, and known rat travel paths at each property. Evolve is made from cottonseed — EPA minimum risk, cleared for residential and mixed-use buildings. Rats that consume it have significantly fewer pups. The replacement population can't form at full size.
No secondary kill risk. Safe for continuous deployment in occupied buildings.
Monthly reports document track count activity per address across every building in the program. That shows a declining trend over 90 days — which is the record you want in front of a housing inspector or a tenant attorney.
The compliance layer
Documentation that holds up in an inspection.
Inspectors aren't just looking for the absence of rats. They want evidence of active management. A 90-day record showing declining track counts is a different conversation than "we called the exterminator last month."
Every address gets a monitoring record. If a complaint comes in, you have a paper trail showing consistent, proactive management — not a reactive call made after a 311 report.
NYC HPD
Class B violations for rodent conditions. Each 311 complaint triggers an inspection and creates a logged record attached to the building. Repeat violations are treated differently than isolated incidents.
NYC DOHMH
Restaurants and food businesses in the building face additional exposure under DOHMH codes 04K and 04L — critical violations with fines up to $2,000 per citation.
New Jersey
NJ municipal health departments conduct complaint-driven and scheduled inspections under state housing and health codes. Rodent citations carry remediation costs, reinspection fees, and tenant legal exposure.
