Mosquito & tick control in Morris Heights: what to know
Morris Heights is a dense residential neighbourhood of large pre-war apartment buildings along University Avenue and University Heights — the building stock has the shared basements, service corridors and ageing plumbing risers where mice and German cockroaches establish and travel between multiple floors.
The commercial density along West Fordham Road and Jerome Avenue feeds rodent pressure into adjacent residential buildings; the elevated Jerome Avenue subway line sustains rat populations in the transit infrastructure that regularly access building basements through utility openings.
High residential density and rental turnover in the neighbourhood's apartment buildings make bed bug introductions and spread a recurring challenge; ant pressure is consistent in ground-floor and basement-level units of older buildings.

How we treat mosquito & tick control in Morris Heights
Mosquitoes and ticks turn a backyard, garden or building courtyard into a no-go zone in the warm months — and both carry disease (West Nile, Lyme). Standing water, shaded vegetation and leaf litter are where they breed and rest.
We treat the resting and breeding areas — dense shrubs, shaded perimeters, standing-water sources — to knock down the population and break the breeding cycle, with seasonal programmes that maintain protection through the summer.
