Ant Control in Flatiron / NoMad

Original cast-iron vertical stacks, balloon framing, and shared wall voids in converted warehouses provide natural highways for ant colonies to move between units and floors. Peak activity occurs from March through October, when carpenter ants and pavement ants become especially active in the neighborhood's structures. Indoor environments, however, maintain consistent pharaoh ant pressure due to heated buildings and the kitchen density typical of converted lofts. Graduate addresses the full range of ant species affecting these buildings, including carpenter ant control, pavement ant control, pharaoh ant control, citronella ant control, and odorous house ant control through comprehensive building assessment and targeted interventions. Graduate's approach to ant control combines detailed structural evaluation with species-specific methodology, recognizing that single-unit treatments fail without addressing the building envelope, mortar joint sealing, and cast-iron collar gaps that allow recolonization. Each service page below outlines our protocol for the specific ant species most common to your building type and season.
