Know your New York City house
Staten Island has the most single-family housing of the five boroughs, much of it built after the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge opened in 1964. The five boroughs hold more than 8 million people, and most of them live in apartments rather than single-family houses.
In co-ops and condos, the board or managing agent often has to approve a contractor before work starts. Shared walls and old foundations in older buildings give mice and roaches easy paths between units.
Warm, humid summers bring ants, mosquitoes and stinging insects, while fall drives mice indoors. Brownstone and limestone row houses line blocks in Park Slope, Harlem and Bedford-Stuyvesant, many of them built in the late 1800s.
Permits, licenses and your utility
Pesticide applicators in New York are certified by the state Department of Environmental Conservation. Renters should report pests to the landlord in writing, since many local codes make treatment the owner's responsibility. Neighbors often share the same pests, so a building-wide or block-wide approach can work better than treating one unit alone.

Common questions
Is my neighborhood in New York City covered?
Yes, as long as a pro is free. New York City ZIP codes 10001, 10002, 10003, 10004, 10005 and others are in range, and that includes Bay Ridge, Riverdale, Jackson Heights and St. George.
What should I do before treatment?
Follow the company's prep list, such as clearing cabinets or bagging linens. Prep may also include moving furniture away from walls or emptying closets, so ask for the list a day or two ahead.
What are signs of termites?
Mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings and hollow-sounding wood are common signs. Swarms of winged insects near windows in spring are another sign. If you find any of these, call before the damage spreads.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
It depends on the product and method. Ask the company before the visit how long people and pets should stay out of treated areas.
A clear description and a couple of photos go a long way toward a quick and accurate answer.
