Harlem’s beautiful brownstones and historic rowhouses come with a catch: they’re old, and old buildings have cracks, gaps, and hidden entry points that pests figured out a long time ago. Whether you’re in a renovated walk-up near Marcus Garvey Park or a longtime family building off 125th Street, rodents and insects don’t care how much you love your space. They’ll move in anyway. What you need are skilled pest control technicians who understand these buildings and know how to clear them out for good.
We’ve been working in neighborhoods like this one for over five decades, and we know exactly how pest problems develop in pre-war construction. Broadway Pest Services doesn’t take shortcuts. Our licensed technicians inspect your property thoroughly, track down where pests are entering, and figure out what’s drawing them in. Maybe it’s an old radiator pipe with gaps around the base. Maybe it’s worn weather stripping on your front door. Maybe your neighbor has a problem that’s now become yours. Whatever the situation, we find it and fix it so you’re not dealing with the same issue three months from now.
Mice and rats are constant players in Central Harlem, especially in buildings with basements or near commercial strips with restaurants. Cockroaches thrive in older kitchens and bathrooms where seals and caulking have broken down over the years. Bed bugs spread through apartment buildings faster than you’d expect, particularly in units with frequent tenant turnover. We also handle ants, moths, fleas, spiders, and birds. If it’s causing problems in your home or business, chances are we’ve dealt with it hundreds of times already.
It doesn’t matter if you own a single-family brownstone, manage a six-unit building, or run a shop on Lenox Avenue. We adjust our approach based on your property and your specific pest pressures. Our team holds MWBE certification, QualityPro certification, and membership in the New York Pest Management Association. That qualifies us for government and institutional work, but we bring that same level of care to every residential call we take.
Pests don’t wait, and you shouldn’t have to either. We offer same-day service because we know how stressful it is to share your space with rodents or insects. You call, we show up, and we get to work.
Central Harlem stretches from 110th Street to around 155th Street, bordered by Fifth Avenue to the east and St. Nicholas Park to the west. The neighborhood is known for its stunning brownstones, rich cultural history, and landmarks like the Apollo Theater and Sylvia’s Restaurant. Marcus Garvey Park sits at its heart, and 125th Street serves as the main commercial and cultural corridor.
