Ant Control in Upper West Side

Your home's proximity to Central Park and nearby green spaces extends pest pressure through late spring and into early fall, when ant activity peaks alongside rising temperatures and increased moisture near foundations. Graduate's science-based approach addresses the full spectrum of ant species encountered in this neighborhood, from carpenter ants that exploit structural voids to pavement ants, pharaoh ants, citronella ants, and odorous house ants that migrate through shared wall systems in multi-unit buildings. Graduate's technicians begin every ant control engagement with a comprehensive structural assessment to identify colony origins, travel pathways, and harborage sites, recognizing that effective management requires building-level diagnosis rather than treatment confined to a single apartment. The pages below detail our targeted protocols for each ant species commonly found on the Upper West Side.
