Cockroach Control in NYC
Roaches follow food, water and warmth, and they travel through shared pipes and walls.
Short answerCockroach control starts with inspection of kitchens, bathrooms and shared building areas, then targeted treatment and steps that remove food, water and hiding places. In apartment buildings, neighboring units affect results.
Where They Live
Behind and under stoves and refrigerators, in cabinets, around sinks and drains and in wall voids. Sightings in daylight often mean a larger population.
What Helps
Store food sealed, fix leaks, clean grease and crumbs and reduce clutter and cardboard. Clean up alone does not solve an established problem.
Buildings and Restaurants
Shared walls and pipes let roaches move. Building wide plans and records help. See restaurant pest control.
What to Tell Us Before the Inspection
Where and when you see roaches, whether you see them in daylight, and whether neighbors or the building have had problems. Photos of live roaches help identify the species.
Not sure what you are dealing with? An inspection finds the source and sets the scope.
