Quick answers
The questions NYC asks most
How much is German cockroach treatment in NYC?
Our German cockroach Trio Protocol runs $350–$550 for most NYC apartments and is designed to eliminate the infestation in a single visit, with a callback rate under 1%.
How much does bed bug treatment cost in NYC?
Bed bug treatment in NYC typically runs $450–$900 depending on unit size and method — heat versus targeted chemical. A K-9 inspection confirms the infestation first.
What does it cost to get rid of mice or rats?
Rodent control runs about $280–$600. We seal entry points with metal — never foam — so rodents cannot come back, instead of a monthly spray contract.
Do you offer free estimates and financing?
Yes. Estimates are free, and we offer buy-now-pay-later financing (Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay). There are no monthly or annual contracts.
Who actually does the work?
Every job is led by Jorge Bedoya, ACE (NYSDEC #15140), and the same technician returns for any follow-up — in English or Spanish.
Where do you serve?
All five boroughs plus Nassau and Westchester, with same-week appointments and a Midwood, Brooklyn home base.
