Franklin Square, a hamlet that stayed unincorporated.
Inside the Town of Hempstead (Nassau County), Franklin Square is a hamlet that the Census Bureau also lists as a designated place. Its ZIP code, 11010, lies 12.0 miles from Syosset.
A 1929 petition to incorporate was denied, so the town, not a village board, handles local rules. Records of that kind never tell us where the rats get in, so the walk around the house does.

What the label on this place changes for a visit.
Hamlet or village makes no difference to the questions: what is attached, what stands close and where did signs show up?
Custom, postal service and census use define hamlets more than any legal boundary does. We rely on the ZIP code because that is what the coverage list uses.
Four stages in a row.
Picture a lap around the outside, a look indoors, devices set along real runs, and a plan for sealing. A second trip tests the repairs and counts what was caught. Because you approve each line yourself, nothing unneeded shows up on the bill.
Ten minutes on the phone beats an hour of reading search results.

Soaking rain can push burrowing rats toward higher ground, including the space beneath a deck or shed. When the water drains away, search for fresh holes and shifted soil.
Where the crew member starts.
Most visits start in the room where you saw signs and then widen in a spiral to cover the whole structure.
Trees, hedges and the roofline.
A band of bare soil or gravel next to the foundation strips away cover. It costs little, works well and helps later repairs last.
Large trees tend to lean across a roof, and a limb that rubs the shingles serves as a bridge. Pruning it counts among the cheapest rodent jobs available.
