It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Tenafly sits in a climate shaped by the region's proximity to the coast and the New York City urban heat island, with genuine seasonal extremes. Much of this region's urban housing stock is a century old or more, with mid-century construction dominating the suburbs. That's exactly what Norway rats, subterranean termites, carpenter ants, stink bugs, German cockroaches, and house mice need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Historic brick and frame two- and three-family homes make up much of the older housing stock, alongside newer suburban development. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
