New York City has been nicknamed the Big Apple by residents and tourists alike.
The city, which is sprawling with skyscrapers and taxicabs, is home to approximately eight million people that live and work in the villages and islands that are called boroughs.
The metropolitan area of New York City is comprised of eight counties, bringing the total population of the New York City area up to a little more than thirteen million people.
But New York City is not just populated by people.
In recent years the city has been overrun with rats that live in the alleys a gutters of the sewer system and feed on garbage or anything else that is left rotting in the streets.
NYC pest control companies are helping citizens to take a bite out of the rodent population with environmentally safe treatments of infested areas.
For a large segment of the businesses in NYC the infestation of a single rodent could bring the business to its knees.
Food service providers in New York City range from the street vendor selling hot dogs and pretzels, to upscale five star restaurants.
The city is synonymous with good food from every corner of the earth because the city is home to many immigrants with varying differences in their cultural and ethnic roots.
The sights sounds and smells of the wonderful foods prepared daily in the Big Apple attract the people from every walk of life, so keeping restaurants and delicatessens free of infestations is a full time job for NYC pest control experts.
