I just bought my renovated apartment in May and lived here without seeing a mouse. Well, two days ago as I was working late at night at home, a mouse just came out from under the kitchen radiator and ran back out! I was mortified and too scared to sleep the rest of the night. I realize now, building management will only do so much. Glue traps are not enough if you don’t find the points of entry for mice. A colleague told me about this establishment and after thorough research and price quotes, I called them. Ron was very nice and professional and allowed me to have my freak out on the phone. All the other companies made me feel as if I was over reacting, but Ron did not do that. He actually calmed me down and I was more than happy to go with them for rodent control. He sent his son the next morning and he was thorough and showed me every hole and every place the mice could be coming from and filled each and every one THOROUGHLY. The renovation left several holes open and ALL of the radiators had large holes around them. No one had ever done a thorough check in all the years of this pre war building obviously. I highly recommend getting the full service because they go behind every appliance, the bathrooms, closets, every radiator. He even filled holes near my stairs for me to make me feel better! I felt so much better immediately and he will be back to check bait stations in thirty days. Again, for a full hour (and some change) of work and a follow up visit: this is worth every penny! I now feel comfortable in my new place.

City Express just finished exterminating and mice proofing our apartment in the West Village right around the corner from Murray’s Cheese Shop (Mice HQ in NYC). They did a brilliant job and were extremely thorough. Went around our apartment twice and proofed every single room, closet, corner, nook & cranny. Pulled out all the appliances and base boards to ensure everything was proofed professionally.
Highly recommend their service. They also came in a moment’s notice which was also VERY MUCH appreciated considering we had seen 4 mice playing soccer with a Tortilla chip the night before. We called them at 11pm on Monday evening and by 7am Tuesday morning they were mice proofing our apartment. The other agency we had called said they couldn’t come out for 7 days which clearly was unacceptable.
Thanks again City Express! I definitely plan on recommending your service to others.

I had a mice issue in my apartment and called City Express to help me resolve my troubles. The dispatcher was extremely friendly and helpufl and offered same day service.

The tech. arrived not more than 3 hours after my call and was great! Patched all the entry points, laid down bait stations and set down glue traps. He even encouraged me to follow-up with them if I saw any additional evidence of mice. And, of course, the price was great!

I highly recommend these guys and will definitely use them again should I have another pest problem (roaches, mice, etc.).

I heard some noises at the middle of the night. I recently moved to the city. So I called a few exterminators and the only one who picked up was city express. They were very knowledgeable and let me know that it sounded like I had a rodent problem. A city express technician arrived shortly. He inspected the whole apt, found a hole were the rat came from sealed it up & caught the rat. They explained every part of there procedure. I haven’t had a problem since, thanks City Express for the great service!

Very pleased with my experience with City Express! The owner, Ron, was incredibly responsive and pledged to get someone out to my apt. as soon as possible – which he did. There was no guessing about rates for my rodent inspection and proofing or getting hosed once the tech showed up. That sort of transparency is very appreciated. He offered me 1 reasonable price that was incredibly affordable compared to his competition who quoted a rate of $550 for the first 2 hours. When Rich (the technician) showed up, he was polite, thorough, and explained everything perfectly. Though I didn’t actually have any new visitors (thank goodness), peace of mind is priceless!

Excellent service! We’ve had sporadic issues with mice that our building has not been able to address despite monthly exterminator visits. I called Ron and he offered to send someone out the same day. John came (even arrived early) and got to work assessing every room and identifying the issues (holes). He was extremely thorough and filled all holes with foam and copper (behind radiators and kitchen sink). Talked us through the entire inspection and treatment. Hoping this solves the problem but glad they left a few bait stations to check back in 30 days (part of the service) and ensure the problem has been fully addressed. Thank you!

What a great service company. Professional. Prompt. Good price. I was impressed that they answered my call on a Sunday night.

A rat. In my house. Endless construction on the water main outside my house rattled the critters in my neighborhood and one managed to get in. I called on a Friday night and Ron sent his son to my place first thing the next morning and found the access point sealed it, checked the whole house, and even found a mouse hole we didn’t know about (my cat might be annoyed about that one) . He was thorough, professional and answered every question. We have a plan to make sure we stay rodent free during the digging outside. Couldn’t be happier.

We had an ongoing mouse issue in our first floor Hoboken apartment for about 2 months. The condo building we live in has an exterminator come quarterly, who would throw down traps and poison- which did nothing for the ultimate problem.
I called City Express, they gave me a quote over the phone, and we set up an appointment for that coming weekend. The guy who came did an extremely thorough job- he didn’t seem rushed, pulled out every appliance, looked in every crevice. Found the entrance points and filled them with copper mesh so they wouldn’t eat through. He also took the time to explain how to prevent future problems and how to watch for signs of mice returning.
It has been two months into winter and we have been mouse-free. I can finally stop walking on eggshells because of my mouse-phobia 🙂 Thanks again to City Express for doing such a thorough job.

We had a terrible mouse problem in our old apartment where mice were coming in from under the dishwasher, under the stairs, and under the HVAC units. City Express came in, figure out all of the “secret” entrances and patched up all of the holes — even the ones we didn’t think about. They also laid down bait traps and gave us advice on why the building’s glue traps weren’t working (mice were too used to them and had figured how to get around them).

The exterminators were extremely thorough, enough that when we moved into a new apartment, we called them again, to mouse-proof the new place. They did an examination, told us where there might have been a rodent problem in the past, but told us that the real problem was insects. Because we asked for a mouse-proofing that ended up not being needed, they threw in a pet-safe spraying for bugs. Great service!

These guys are amazing. I am squeamish and new to NY so when I saw 2 mice in my apartment on a Saturday morning I had a total meltdown. I tried 2 different places that claimed to be “24 hours” but neither had anyone available and both were kind of rude. Then I found City Express and not only were they kind/warm on the phone but their exterminator Steve showed up within an hour and was extremely professional and efficient. I felt totally taken care of and honestly if he hadn’t helped me so quickly I would have probably had to sleep at a friend’s place until Monday, which was the soonest my super could send someone. These guys are pros and left my apartment spotless and perfectly sealed up. They also checked in with me after the service to make sure I was happy. Bonus for the ladies: Steve is cute. A+ experience!

The crazy heat wave brought out a SWARM of ants in my garden apartment. INSIDE and at 9pm on a Saturday night in July.

It was seriously a Twilight Zone experience, there were thousands of them, winged and not winged. It was overwhelming and a bit scary.

I called around to a few exterminators, skeptical and wary as I have dogs and am not a fan of toxins in the household.

Finally, I got a call back from a guy named Steve, from City Express. He was attentive and caring and immediatly assuaged my fear of the problem, as well as the toxicity of the pesticides at their disposal. My questions about fees were answered a few minutes later when Steve’s call was follwed up by his boss, Ron, who owns the company. He too was polite and clear, the price was acceptable and the choice was clear that these guys were the ones to handle the problem.

So, Steve showed up in a timely fashion and really took his time with the process, patiently sucking up every last tiny invader with his extermi-vac and then treating the perimeters and injecting the wall facing the garden. He was confident, capable and at ease, which greatly assuaged my nerves about the whole event. He then placed everything back where it was, and cleaned up perfectly after himself, leaving me clear instructions about when the area would be safe for the dogs again.

The level of professionalism and respect was unparalleled. Without hesitation, I will use this company again should the need arise. Highest reccomendations.

Thank you Steve and Ron!!!
