Private Exterminator

Across New York’s apartment buildings and brownstones, the common enemy—rats, roaches, bedbugs—warrants the services of a licensed operator. Private Exterminator addresses infestations in Manhattan with targeted treatments rather than broad promises, moving from inspection to follow-up without fanfare.

The firm works out of an East Side storefront tucked above Second Avenue, just north of the 6 train’s quiet stretch. Their front door on 403 East 70th Street, Suite 7, sits between a boutique and a doorman building, making drop-offs unobtrusive and late-day visits possible.

Routine appointments start with a walkthrough, then move to baits, traps, or sprays depending on what’s spotted. They handle ants trailing along kitchen counters, silverfish lurking in bathroom grout, mice slipping through basement vents, termites munching on window frames, stink bugs clustering at fall’s edge, and fleas hopping from pet bedding to rug. Before any chemicals appear, they seal the spots most likely to invite comeback visitors.

Call (347) 477-1519 to line up a weekday slot, then pull up a map on your phone using their directions. The avenue outside stays metered; the curb is usually free after 6 p.m.
