Pest Control Services In Yonkers
Yonkers borders the Bronx on one side and suburban Westchester on the other, so it gets the rat and roach trouble of the city plus the tick trouble of the woods.
Rodent ControlNorway rats work the alleys and older housing near downtown and Getty Square. Mice slip into single-family homes in the north end every fall.
Roach ExterminationGerman roaches spread through the larger prewar apartment buildings on the west side. The whole line of units needs bait.
Tick ControlWestchester has dealt with Lyme disease longer than most of the state. Yards near Tibbetts Brook Park and the Croton Aqueduct trail get the most ticks.
Mosquito ControlCatch basins and clogged gutters breed mosquitoes, and Westchester County tracks West Nile every summer.
Bed Bug TreatmentApartment buildings with shared walls and frequent turnover keep bed bugs moving through Southwest and Downtown Yonkers.
Termite ControlEastern subterranean termites go after wood sills and porches in older Yonkers houses. Swarms show up in April and May.How Much Does Pest Control Cost In Yonkers?

What To Know About Pests In Yonkers
Rats are a steady complaint in parts of Yonkers, and News 12 has covered residents fighting rodent infestations on blocks near downtown. The city’s Saw Mill River daylighting project brought the river back into the open at Van der Donck Park, which is great for the city but means water and wildlife close to dense housing.
On the mosquito side, the Westchester County Department of Health treats catch basins with larvicide and traps mosquitoes to test for West Nile virus every summer (westchestercountyny.gov). Ticks are the other big one, since the county has long had heavy Lyme activity.
When Pests Are Most Active In Yonkers
- Spring
- Termites swarm out of old sills in April and May. Tick nymphs come out in yards near parks and the aqueduct trail.
- Summer
- Mosquitoes breed in catch basins and gutters, and the county starts West Nile testing. Roaches peak in hot apartment buildings.

- Mice and rats push indoors once nights cool. Yellow jackets get pushy around trash cans and patios.
- Winter

Yonkers Pest Control FAQs
Send it through the form for a quick answer about Yonkers pests.
Does Westchester County spray for mosquitoes in Yonkers?
The county health department treats catch basins and tests mosquitoes for West Nile virus. It doesn’t spray private yards.
Dump standing water weekly and ask about a yard treatment if mosquitoes keep you off the patio.
Why are there so many ticks in north Yonkers?
Wooded parks, deer and leaf litter give blacklegged ticks plenty of cover. Deer move right through these neighborhoods and drop ticks as they go.
Keep a mowed border at the edge of the lawn and check kids and dogs after time in Tibbetts Brook Park.
My building has roaches. Should I call or should my landlord?
Tell your landlord in writing first. Under New York housing law, keeping a rental free of pests is the owner’s job.
If one unit gets treated and the rest don’t, the roaches come right back, so ask for building-wide treatment.
How do I report rats in Yonkers?
Contact the City of Yonkers about rats on city property or a vacant lot, and the city can send someone to look.
Inside your home or yard, hire a licensed company to find burrows and seal entry points.
Can I stay home with a newborn during treatment?
For most indoor treatments, yes. Just stay out of treated rooms until they’re dry. Baits and crack dusts barely put anything in the air.
Tell the company about the baby when you book so they pick the right products.
