General Pest Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about general pest control in New York City, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does general pest control cost in NYC?
General Pest Control is billed at $249/hour flat — the same fully inclusive rate we charge for every pest service. The $249/hour covers all labor, EPA-registered products, treatment methods, entry-point sealing, written plan, and the free re-treatment visit if pests come back. There are no per-room fees, no chemical surcharges, no trip fees, and no contract. You pay only on completion of the work — nothing upfront, no deposit, no card on file. Billed in 15-minute increments after the first hour. It's the only fully inclusive hourly exterminator pricing model in NYC, and it almost always costs less than the inflated flat-rate quotes built around a worst-case version of your problem.
What pests does general pest control cover?
Our general service covers cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, centipedes, crickets, and other common household insects. Specialized pests like bed bugs, termites, rodents, and wildlife require dedicated services.
How often should I get pest control in NYC?
For most NYC apartments, quarterly service (every 3 months) provides reliable prevention. Monthly service is recommended for ground-floor apartments, brownstones, and buildings with known pest issues.
Is regular pest control necessary in NYC?
In NYC, yes. The density of housing, shared walls, aging infrastructure, and proximity to food sources make regular pest management essential. Preventive treatment is far more effective and less expensive than treating active infestations.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. We use EPA-approved products with targeted application methods that minimize exposure. Gel baits and crack-and-crevice treatments keep products away from contact surfaces. We provide specific safety guidance for your household.
