Cockroach extermination in University Heights typically costs $350–$550, depending on infestation severity and apartment size. Pre-war buildings often require follow-up treatments due to shared plumbing. We use gel baits, insect growth regulators, and crack-and-crevice treatments effective in older construction.

Older buildings along University Avenue and Jerome Avenue often have deteriorated mortar and utility penetrations. Mouse extermination costs $350–$600, and we recommend exclusion work sealing entry points to prevent seasonal re-infestation in these aging structures.
