Ant control is among the most common pest issues we treat in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Busy commercial corridors along Fulton Street and high rental turnover keep both rodent pressure and bed bug vigilance high.
Ant control in Bedford-Stuyvesant: what to know
Bed-Stuy is one of the largest historic brownstone districts in the country — beautiful 19th-century row houses whose age brings deep baseboard gaps, shared walls and old plumbing that let rodents, roaches and ants move between homes.
Garden-level and basement units are especially prone to 'water bugs' from drains and to ant trails entering around old foundations and windows.
Busy commercial corridors along Fulton Street and high rental turnover keep both rodent pressure and bed bug vigilance high.

How we treat ant control in Bedford-Stuyvesant
The same age that makes Brooklyn Heights' housing stock so architecturally valuable — landmarked 19th-century brownstones and row houses — also means original wood, old window frames, and settled foundations that no longer seal as tightly as they once did. Ants exploit exactly these gaps to get inside.
Garden-level and basement units are particularly exposed: ant trails commonly enter around old window frames and foundation gaps at that level, closer to grade than an upper-floor apartment.
