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 Upper West Side, Manhattan is what we do best. Upper West Side’s prewar apartment buildings and brownstones 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 Upper West Side’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:

The Upper West Side runs on classic pre-war apartment houses and brownstones between Central Park and Riverside Park. That parkland on both flanks is a constant rodent reservoir — Norway rats push toward buildings from the green edges — so mouse and rat exclusion is the staple here, alongside German cockroaches in the older multifamily kitchens and bed bugs in higher-turnover rentals. The Amsterdam and Columbus Avenue dining strips feed rodent pressure onto the cross streets.
New York Exterminating provides licensed, ACE-certified pest control across the Upper West Side (10023, 10024, 10025) — for the pre-war co-ops, classic brownstones, and big family apartments between Central and Riverside Parks. 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.
The Upper West Side is a neighborhood of pre-war co-ops, classic brownstones, and big family apartments between Central and Riverside Parks — gracious buildings whose age, shared walls, and park-edge setting create distinctive pest pressures, from park-borne rodents to bed bugs carried home by busy, traveling families. We treat these buildings the way they need: thoroughly, discreetly, and with an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) guiding every identification and plan.
With constant family travel, sleepovers, sublets, and shared laundry rooms, bed bugs are the Upper West Side’s most common — and most stressful — call. Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) hide in mattress seams, headboards, baseboards, and behind switch plates, and they move between pre-war co-ops, brownstones, and family apartments 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.
Backing onto Central and Riverside Parks means Upper West Side buildings see steady rodent pressure, and in century-old apartments mice are a construction problem, not a cleanliness one. A house mouse (Mus musculus) passes through a gap the width of a pencil, and in Upper West Side’s pre-war co-ops, brownstones, and family apartments 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.
Family closets full of wool, cashmere, and the hand-knotted rugs common in Upper West Side apartments make this prime clothes-moth territory. 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.
German cockroaches ride into even the nicest UWS apartments on groceries, deliveries, and renovation debris. We don’t surface-spray — we eliminate the colony at the source with precision microinjection of non-repellent gel bait that foraging roaches carry back to the harborage, plus growth regulators that sterilize the colony so it can’t rebuild. Guaranteed.
We coordinate with supers, managing agents, and boards, use unmarked scheduling, and treat with low-impact methods that are safe around children and pets. From a single line to a building-wide program, we keep UWS buildings pest-free without disruption.
