Ant control in Park Slope: what to know
Park Slope's signature brownstones and limestone row houses are beautiful and old — the same deep voids, shared walls and original plumbing that make them charming also make them prone to rodents, ants and cockroaches moving between floors and homes.
The neighbourhood's location on the edge of Prospect Park means added seasonal pressure from rodents, mosquitoes and ticks, and from outdoor ants foraging indoors in warm months.
Family-dense brownstone blocks and the restaurant corridors along Fifth and Seventh Avenues keep food-source pressure high year-round.

Signs you need ant control

- Ants concentrated near a specific baseboard gap or piece of original woodwork

How we treat ant control in Park Slope
Brooklyn Heights' landmarked brownstones and row houses are among NYC's oldest housing stock, built with original wood framing, stone foundations, and window frames that have settled and gapped over more than a century. That settling is exactly what gives ants an entry route into garden-level and basement units in particular.
Deep baseboard gaps and original wood joinery — features of this historic construction that modern buildings don't have — mean an ant trail can run from an outdoor foraging site straight into a unit through a foundation crack or an old window frame, without much resistance.
