Recurring pest control in Park Slope: what to know
Park Slope's signature brownstones and limestone row houses are beautiful and old — the same deep voids, shared walls and original plumbing that make them charming also make them prone to rodents, ants and cockroaches moving between floors and homes.
The neighbourhood's location on the edge of Prospect Park means added seasonal pressure from rodents, mosquitoes and ticks, and from outdoor ants foraging indoors in warm months.
Family-dense brownstone blocks and the restaurant corridors along Fifth and Seventh Avenues keep food-source pressure high year-round.

How we treat recurring pest control in Park Slope
The cheapest pest problem is the one that never establishes. Recurring maintenance — quarterly for most homes, monthly for food service and high-pressure buildings — keeps pest populations from ever reaching the point where you notice them.
Each visit includes monitoring, exterior and interior treatment of entry points and harbourages, and adjustments for the season (rodents in fall, ants and stinging insects in summer). It's Integrated Pest Management: prevention and exclusion first, targeted treatment only where needed.
