New York Exterminating is an ACE-led pest control company based in Midwood, Brooklyn (1115 E 13th St, Brooklyn, NY 11230), and German cockroach elimination in Chelsea, Manhattan is what we do best. Chelsea’s prewar walk-ups, converted lofts, and high-rises let German cockroaches spread between units through shared walls and plumbing lines, so treating one apartment rarely holds.
Our German cockroach service is designed to eliminate the infestation in a single visit, not to put you on a monthly spray contract — follow-up visits are for verification only, never re-application. The same technician handles your home on every visit, we don’t blame your housekeeping, and we’re led by Jorge Bedoya, an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) and NYSDEC-licensed applicator (#15140). We work in English and Spanish, and we serve all five boroughs plus Nassau and Westchester.
In Chelsea’s dense high-rises and prewar apartments, German cockroaches ride shared risers and pipe chases from unit to unit, so surface sprays never reach the colony. Our ACE-led Trio Protocol hits the colony three ways in a single visit:

Chelsea blends pre-war walk-ups, converted industrial lofts, and glassy new high-rises, with a dense gallery-and-restaurant scene. The older and loft buildings see mice and water bugs from aging infrastructure; bed bugs turn up across the rental stock; and the West Side dining corridors keep rodent pressure high on the side streets. We tailor the plan to the building type, which changes block to block here.
New York Exterminating provides licensed, ACE-certified pest control across Chelsea (10001, 10011) — for converted lofts and gallery buildings, old tenement walk-ups, new High Line condos, and a dense restaurant corridor. Led by an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE), NYSDEC #15140, we are Manhattan’s specialists in biting bugs (bed bugs, fleas, and mites), professional mouse exclusion, and clothes-moth and textile-pest control — with discreet, same-day service, free estimates, and guaranteed results. Call (347) 210-4646.
Chelsea blends converted warehouse lofts and gallery buildings with old tenement walk-ups, new High Line condos, and one of Manhattan’s densest restaurant and nightlife corridors. That mix — high tenant turnover, ground-floor food businesses, and aging industrial structures — produces fast-moving, varied pest pressure that rewards an experienced, building-savvy team.
High-turnover rentals, sublets, and shared loft spaces make bed bugs a constant in Chelsea, and the open floor plans of converted buildings let them spread quickly if they’re not caught early. Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) hide in mattress seams, headboards, baseboards, and behind switch plates, and they move between converted lofts, gallery buildings, and old tenements through wall voids and riser penetrations. Our protocol pairs K-9 bed bug inspection — trained scent-detection dogs that confirm live bugs and viable eggs with an accuracy a visual check cannot match — with the cure: whole-room bed bug heat treatment that raises the space to roughly 120–130°F and kills every life stage, including eggs, in a single visit with no odor or residue. We finish with mattress encasements, follow-up monitoring, and coordination of adjoining units so the problem is eliminated, not relocated.
Just as important, we identify the biting pests routinely mistaken for bed bugs: fleas left by pets or a previous resident’s animals, and bird mites and rat mites that invade from pigeon nests on ledges and HVAC units or from rodents in the walls — plus other biting mites. Each needs a completely different treatment, and getting the identification right is exactly where an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) changes the outcome.
Old loft and tenement buildings, plus ground-floor restaurants, give mice and rats easy harborage throughout Chelsea. A house mouse (Mus musculus) passes through a gap the width of a pencil, and in Chelsea’s converted lofts, gallery buildings, and old tenements it travels the whole building through wall voids, riser penetrations, and utility chases. Bait alone just feeds a population that re-enters from next door. Real, lasting control is exclusion: we find and physically seal every entry point with copper mesh, hardware cloth, and sealant, knock the existing population down with tamper-resistant stations and trapping, and correct the sanitation and harborage that drew them in. That professional pest-proofing is the step most companies skip — and the one we guarantee.
Loft closets, stored wardrobes, and the wool rugs that warm hard-floored Chelsea apartments are exactly what clothes moths look for. The damage is done by clothes-moth larvae, not the fluttering adults. Two species feed here — the webbing clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) and the casemaking clothes moth (Tinea pellionella) — and both eat keratin: wool, cashmere, silk, fur, and felt. They leave irregular holes, grazed thread-bare patches, and silken webbing or tiny portable cases in dark, undisturbed closets, under furniture, and along the edges and undersides of wool rugs. Because they smolder for months in storage, most clothes-moth infestations are caught only after a favorite garment or an heirloom rug is ruined. We inspect closets, storage, and rug undersides, identify the species and source, treat with targeted residual and crevice work plus pheromone monitoring, and advise on cleaning, freezing, and storage to protect the rest.
Chelsea’s restaurants and the apartments above them keep German cockroaches in steady supply. We eliminate the colony at the source with microinjection of non-repellent bait and growth regulators that sterilize it — and we provide discreet, compliant commercial programs for food businesses so the roaches don’t travel between floors. Guaranteed.
We tailor treatment to Chelsea’s building types — converted lofts, gallery and commercial spaces, restaurants, and new condos — with discreet, documented service and coordination across connected units so problems are solved building-wide, not just unit by unit.

Chelsea’s high-rises sit above ground-floor restaurants and retail, so roaches and mice often migrate upward from commercial spaces and trash areas. Bed bugs also surface in the neighborhood’s dense rental turnover. We treat the source and the pathway, not just the apartment that called.
In mixed residential-commercial buildings, roaches travel up from ground-floor food businesses and trash rooms through risers and chases. Durable control treats those shared pathways and entry points, which is why building coordination matters here.
