Fly control is among the most common pest issues we treat in DUMBO. High-end short-term and corporate rental conversions in the loft buildings face bed bug risk from transient tenancy; the restaurant cluster around Front Street and the Empire Stores drives fly pressure in warmer months.
Fly control in DUMBO: what to know
DUMBO's repurposed 19th-century warehouse buildings along Washington and Water Streets retain the deep loading docks, basement utility areas and original stone foundations where rodents and cockroaches harbour between the neighbourhood's tech offices and residential lofts.
Brooklyn Bridge Park's waterfront footprint brings seasonal rodent and mosquito pressure to the ground-floor and garden-level units immediately adjacent to the park; the tidal estuary edge adds 'water bug' pressure to basement spaces.

Signs you need fly control
- Small flies hovering around drains, sinks, or fruit

- A recurring fly problem in a kitchen or food-prep area
How we treat fly control in DUMBO
Flies are a sanitation and reputation problem, especially for restaurants and food service. Fruit flies and drain flies breed in the organic film inside drains, under equipment and in damp build-up — so killing the adults does nothing if the breeding source remains.
We identify the species and trace the breeding source, eliminate it, and treat to knock down the adult population, with ongoing options for food-service clients where fly pressure is constant.
