A Comprehensive Guide for Apartment Owners and Managers

Cockroaches are a common yet serious problem in New York City, especially in multifamily apartment buildings. As an owner or manager of such properties, you bear the responsibility of maintaining a safe and pest-free environment for your tenants. Systematic Pest Elimination specializes in providing commercial pest control services specifically designed to tackle cockroach infestations in NYC apartment buildings.

Understanding the Severity of Cockroach Infestations

Cockroaches are not just a minor annoyance; they pose significant health risks and can damage the reputation of your property. These pests can spread various diseases, trigger allergies, and even exacerbate asthma conditions, especially in children. Moreover, a visible infestation can lead to tenant dissatisfaction and potential legal issues.

Identifying a Cockroach Problem

Early detection is key to controlling a cockroach infestation. Look out for these signs:

• Cockroach Sightings

Even a single cockroach can indicate a larger, hidden problem.

• Droppings

Small, pepper-like droppings in corners and under sinks.

• Egg Capsules

Oval-shaped egg cases, often found in hidden areas.

• Unpleasant Odors

A musty, oily smell that intensifies with the infestation.
