Residential Pest Control in NYC
Pest control for NYC apartments, co-ops, condos, brownstones and houses, from a family-owned company with 25 years in the city.
Home Pest Control for NYC Apartments and Houses
NYC Extermination handles home pest control in New York City apartments, co-ops, condos, brownstones and houses. We start with a free on-site inspection to find the pest, where it’s coming from and how far it has spread. Then we treat where it’s needed and help you keep it from coming back.
Pests in the city rarely stay in one apartment. They travel through shared walls, pipes and wiring, so we look at how they got in, not just where you saw them. Before any treatment we ask about children, pets, health and allergy concerns and plan around them.
Renting? In New York City, building owners are responsible for keeping apartments free of pests, so tell your landlord or managing agent. Own or manage the building? See pest control for apartment buildings.
Rats and Mice
Rats and mice contaminate food, chew wiring and spread disease. We find how they get in, remove them and seal the gaps so new ones can’t follow. See our rodent control page.
Cockroaches
Roaches spread fast between apartments, and what they leave behind can trigger allergies and asthma. We treat where they live with targeted, EPA-registered products and seal the gaps they travel through. See our cockroach exterminator page.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs bite, keep you up at night and spread from room to room. We inspect for free, then treat with heat, targeted products or both. See our bed bug exterminator and heat treatment pages.
Termites
Termites eat wood from the inside, so damage can go unnoticed for years. We find where they’re active, treat those areas and check back. See our termite control page.
Ants
Ants come in for food and water and can nest inside walls. We find where they’re coming from and treat at the source. Read 10 facts about ants.
Spiders and Flies
Spiders and flies usually point to something else: flies breed in food waste and drains, and spiders follow the insects they eat. We find the cause and treat it as part of Integrated Pest Management.
Why NYC Homes Need Professional Pest Control
Many NYC buildings are old, with cracks and gaps that let pests in and move them around. In apartments, shared walls and plumbing connect you to your neighbors, so a problem next door can become yours. Store-bought sprays often push pests deeper into the walls or into the next apartment instead of ending the problem.
A professional inspection finds where pests are coming from, and treatment goes where they live. For buildings, that often means checking the units around yours too.

Our Residential Pest Control Process
Every home job runs the same way:
1. Inspection
We find the pest, how far it has spread and how it gets in. The inspection is free.
2. A plan for your home
We explain what we’ll treat, how, and what it costs before any work starts.
3. Treatment
Targeted, EPA-registered products go where pests live, following Integrated Pest Management.
4. Prevention
We seal entry points where needed and tell you what to change to keep pests away.
5. Follow-up
If pests come back, call us. One-time treatment or regular service, whichever fits.
Prevention Tips Between Visits
Keep food in sealed containers, wipe up crumbs and spills, and take out the trash often. Fix leaks and don’t leave standing water. Cut clutter so pests have fewer places to hide, and seal cracks around doors, windows and pipes.
How We Treat Pests
Every plan follows Integrated Pest Management: we find the cause, treat only where it’s needed and use EPA-registered products. That means more than spraying. Sealing entry points, fixing the conditions pests like, monitoring and, for bed bugs, heat all play a part.
The right mix depends on the pest, your home and how far the problem has spread, and the inspection decides it.
Why Store-Bought Sprays Fall Short
Over-the-counter sprays and foggers kill the pests you can see, but most of them are hidden. Sprays can push roaches and bed bugs deeper into walls or into the next apartment, and many bed bugs no longer die from them. Treatment aimed at where pests live works better and lasts longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you come out?
We offer same-day emergency service across the five boroughs. For a routine visit, call and we’ll find a time that works.
How long does it take to get rid of pests?
It depends on the pest and how far it has spread. Some problems clear after one visit, while bed bugs, termites and large roach problems often need a follow-up.
Do I need regular pest control?
Not always. Some problems clear with one treatment. Regular service makes sense when pests keep coming back, for example in older buildings or next to a problem apartment. We offer both.
I rent my apartment. Who should I call?
Tell your landlord or managing agent first. In New York City, building owners are responsible for keeping apartments free of pests. If you own or manage the building, see pest control for apartment buildings.
How much does residential pest control cost?
It depends on the pest, the size of your home and how far the problem has spread. Monthly general pest control contracts start at $199 a month. The on-site inspection and the estimate are free.
Is treatment safe for children and pets?
We ask about children, pets, health and allergy concerns before any treatment and plan around them. We use EPA-registered products, apply them only where pests live, and tell you what to do before and after.
