Staten Island's suburban and semi-rural character brings a different mix of pests than the other NYC boroughs. Stink bugs, termites, carpenter ants, mice, and wildlife — including squirrels, raccoons, and skunks — are common challenges for Staten Island homeowners. Wooded areas and larger lot sizes increase exposure to wood-destroying insects and nuisance wildlife. Control Exterminating has served Staten Island since 1973 with pest control programs designed for both suburban homes and waterfront properties.
Eastern subterranean termites are active throughout Staten Island, and annual inspections are recommended for any home with aging wood, ground contact, or moisture issues. Stink bugs invade homes in large numbers in fall as temperatures drop, seeking warmth indoors. Carpenter ants nest in moist or damaged structural wood. Our Staten Island exterminators cover all neighborhoods from St. George to Tottenville. Call (212) 696-4164 for same-day service.
