Fly control is among the most common pest issues we treat in Fordham. Large pre-war apartment buildings along the Grand Concourse in the Fordham area have interconnected basements and shared plumbing systems where mice and German cockroaches travel freely between multiple floors; high student and rental turnover near the university elevates bed bug introduction risk.
Fly control in Fordham: what to know
Fordham Road is one of the Bronx's busiest shopping and transit corridors — the elevated subway line, dense retail and fast-food concentration creates enormous food-waste pressure and some of the highest rat activity in the borough, with populations living in the subway infrastructure and street-level waste areas and feeding into adjacent residential buildings.
The Fordham University campus and the nearby Arthur Avenue 'Little Italy' restaurant and market district add concentrated food-service pressure to the surrounding apartment buildings; the restaurant density on Arthur Avenue is a primary driver of cockroach and fly infestations in nearby commercial kitchens.

Signs you need fly control
- Small flies hovering around drains, sinks, or fruit
- Flies concentrated near a specific drain or piece of equipment
- A recurring fly problem in a kitchen or food-prep area
How we treat fly control in Fordham
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.
