Pest Control in New York

New York's pest issues split almost entirely along the same downstate and upstate lines that shape so much else about the state. New York City's dense, old building stock and extensive subway and sewer systems support one of the country's most persistent urban rat populations, significant enough that the city runs dedicated rodent mitigation programs and researchers, including entomologists at Cornell, have studied the city's rats as a public health concern in their own right. Bed bugs are a related downstate problem, spreading easily between apartments in multi-unit buildings regardless of a tenant's own cleanliness, which is part of why New York City requires certain buildings to disclose bed bug history to renters. Upstate and in the Hudson Valley, the pest profile shifts outdoors: deer ticks are well established across the region, and New York has reported some of the higher Lyme disease case counts in the country for years, with Cornell Cooperative Extension offices tracking tick activity each season. A homeowner in Buffalo or Ithaca is contending with a genuinely different set of pests than one in a Brooklyn walkup.
