Can you avoid rats and mice by living in a high-rise (in NYC)? Like say... the 11th floor and above? -

I m moving to NYC soon (Manhattan, around Midtown or Chelsea) and I want to know if living at the top of a high-rise apartment complex will help me avoid rodents. I know cleanliness helps, but I also know that rodents don t know how clean your home is before they enter. To any NYC-inhabitants reading this, have you ever seen mice or rats in your (or anyone else s) high-rise apartment? Thanks in advance.

Rats and mice can go anywhere. And they hardly exist anyways in NYC. But if u saw one one time u can go buy a rat trap from a store and set it up for the rat/mice. Good luck!

It isn t so much that cleanliness helps. Cleanliness is everything. A rodent will do amazing things to find food. Climbing to the top of a high rise is nothing to them. What they cannot deal with is when you cut off the food supply. Dispose of trash in the proper manner and rodents vanish. Live like a pig and you are sending them an engraved invitation. That s all there is to it. Clean up after yourself and you won t see rodents.

Can you avoid it? No. Rats and mice will go anywhere to seek food and besides, your neighbors may not be as clean as yourself.I have 2 cats (if you are not alergic and your lease says it fine get one) and I also have been using Riddex since 2001 with no problems.http://www.riddexplus.com

Mice and rats travel through walls and pipes and will go anywhere there is food, even at the top of high-rise apartment complexes. They re just less likely to be there than on the lower floors.

What places in new york city have architecture derived from the romans? they dont have to be well known? -

i need four places in nyc with roman architecture influences, they dont have to be well known but i need an address or general idea of where they are

Grant s Tomb.Brooklyn Borough Hall.The Brooklyn Museum.The New York Public Library Research Library (the one at 42nd St. and 5th Ave.)The original building for the Morgan Library (they added a new, modernist section to the library, but the original building is the style you are looking for.)

Beaux arts is n architecture style derived from the Romans and Greeks. (Pronounce that Bozart) The most famous example is Grand Central Terminal. (Not Station!) Other examples are on the link below. Look to churches and courthouses that resemble ancient Roman temples.
