Trusted extermination services to keep your home, business, and customers pest-free
The most effective German cockroach control for an apartment building is a coordinated, building-wide treatment — not a single-unit spray. German cockroaches travel between apartments through shared plumbing risers, wall voids, and trash rooms, so the only approach that holds is treating the complaining unit and its neighbors and the common areas together, in one program. At New York Exterminating we do this with non-repellent microinjection, insect growth regulators, and targeted gel baiting placed at harborage — a protocol our ACE-led team resolves in a single visit on the large majority of jobs, with a callback rate under 1%. Monthly baseboard spraying is the least effective option: it scatters the colony, causes bait aversion, and keeps the building on a management contract instead of ending the infestation.
In a multi-unit building, the apartment that files the complaint is rarely where the colony lives. Roaches follow warmth, water, and food through the shared structure, so treating one unit just pushes the population next door and guarantees the call comes back. We treat the building as a connected system: we inspect the complaining unit, the units above, below, and on either side, and the common areas that feed the population — because that is the only way to stop the unit-to-unit cycle.
We are built to eliminate German cockroaches, not to manage them on a subscription. Our German cockroach service is designed to collapse the colony in one visit — follow-up visits, when scheduled, are for verification only, never a fresh round of spraying. We do not lock buildings into monthly spray contracts or forced annual agreements, and we don’t blame the tenant’s housekeeping — German cockroaches infest clean and dirty units alike because they arrive in packaging and travel through the walls. The same technician handles your building on every visit, so nothing gets lost between hand-offs. Every job is ACE-led and entomology-driven, and we serve all five boroughs plus Nassau and Westchester, in English and Spanish.
Most resolved in a single visit
Because the non-repellents don’t spook the roaches, they keep moving through treated zones and carry the material back to the colony — our callback rate is under 1%.
We work the way managing agents need: scheduled service where required, tenant-response documentation, photo evidence, and reporting that holds up to HPD and DOH scrutiny. Whether it’s a single problem line or a building-wide program, the goal is the same — quiet units, clear records, and fewer repeat complaints.
Expert note — Jorge Bedoya, ACE
“In a building, the apartment that calls is almost never where the colony lives. I treat the shared riser and the neighboring units, not just the complaint, and I leave the managing agent documentation they can file. That’s how you end the unit-to-unit cycle instead of billing for it every month.” — Jorge Bedoya, Associate Certified Entomologist
A coordinated, building-wide treatment using non-repellent microinjection, insect growth regulators, and targeted gel baiting — covering the complaining unit, adjacent units, and common areas. Single-unit sprays and monthly baseboard spraying are the least effective, because roaches simply migrate back through shared walls and risers.
Yes. For multi-unit buildings we map the shared travel paths and treat the complaining unit, adjacent units, and common areas together, with documentation for the managing agent. That’s the only way to stop roaches migrating back between units.
No. Our German cockroach service is designed to eliminate the infestation, not to enroll the building in an open-ended spray subscription. Follow-up visits are for verification only.
Repellent sprays scatter the colony and cause bait aversion, so the population fragments and rebounds. Non-repellent microinjection plus baiting does the opposite — it lets the roaches carry the material back to the harborage.
Yes. The same technician services your building on every visit, so the history and the plan stay consistent.
Yes. Our multi-unit program follows integrated pest management practices and produces the service documentation that supports NYC Local Law 55 obligations for owners and managing agents.
No. They infest clean and dirty units alike, arriving in cardboard and grocery deliveries and traveling between units through the walls. We never diagnose an infestation as a housekeeping failure.
Family-owned, NYSDEC-licensed, and ACE-led — our German cockroach work carries a callback rate under 1%, with the vast majority of jobs resolved in a single visit.
