Forest Hills Pest Control | Expert Eco-Friendly Service for Forest Hills Homes

Forest Hills' prewar cooperative apartment buildings — many built in the 1920s and 1930s — share the structural characteristics common to aging New York City housing: settling foundations, aging pipe chases, and gaps around utility entries that mice use to access units year-round. The neighborhood's more suburban character also means older single-family homes along wooded side streets deal with ants, stink bugs, and occasional wildlife intrusion. The Forest Hills Gardens enclave has a particularly high density of older wood-framed structures that can harbor carpenter ants and occasional termite activity.

Mice in Forest Hills' co-op buildings typically follow seasonal patterns, becoming more active indoors from October through March as outdoor temperatures drop. Cockroaches are less prevalent here than in denser urban Queens neighborhoods but do appear in apartment buildings near the Austin Street commercial strip. Ants are a late spring and summer issue throughout the neighborhood, particularly in ground-floor apartments and homes with garden-level access. Bed bugs circulate in the co-op buildings, often appearing after tenant moves or international travel.
