New York Pest Control
Free quotes from licensed New York exterminators — NYSDEC-certified pros for bed bugs, cockroaches, rats, mice, and lake-effect winter pest pressure across the state.
New York’s pest landscape spans two distinct climate zones: the dense urban downstate region (NYC, Long Island, lower Hudson Valley) where cockroaches, bed bugs, and Norway rats dominate, and the upstate region (Buffalo, Rochester, Albany) where lake-effect winters drive mice and overwintering pests into homes for 6 months a year.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) licenses every pest control applicator under Article 33. In New York City, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene additionally enforces the NYC Housing Maintenance Code, which makes landlords responsible for pest control in rental units. 311 complaint data is publicly available.
Cost ranges across New York typically run $100-$300 for one-time general pest service (higher in NYC), $50-$120 monthly recurring, and $300-$1,500 for bed bug treatment depending on protocol.
