Mosquito & tick control in Harlem: what to know
Harlem's housing is dominated by pre-war apartment buildings, historic brownstones and walk-ups — handsome buildings with deep baseboard gaps, shared wall voids and aging plumbing that let rodents and cockroaches travel freely between units.
The dense restaurant and retail corridor along 125th Street and Lenox Avenue creates constant food-source pressure that feeds rodent and roach populations into the surrounding residential blocks.
Brownstone conversions are especially prone to bed bug spread through shared walls and hallways, and to 'water bugs' rising through old shared plumbing from basements.

How we treat mosquito & tick control in Harlem
Mosquitoes and ticks turn a backyard, garden or building courtyard into a no-go zone in the warm months — and both carry disease (West Nile, Lyme). Standing water, shaded vegetation and leaf litter are where they breed and rest.
We treat the resting and breeding areas — dense shrubs, shaded perimeters, standing-water sources — to knock down the population and break the breeding cycle, with seasonal programmes that maintain protection through the summer.
