(844) 448-2989Pest control in Queens for mice, roaches, bed bugs and the other things that move in uninvited.
You don’t need to know its name.
Start with what you’ve seen.
Mice & ratsDroppings, gnawed packaging or repeated sounds behind a wall deserve a closer look. Note where you find evidence and whether it returns.
Food storage, refuse areas and openings around pipes or doors all belong in the conversation. In a shared building, activity outside your apartment can matter too.

CockroachesRoaches need food, water and shelter. A leak under the sink, food residue behind appliances or a gap around plumbing can help sustain activity.
Keep food sealed, report leaks and describe every room affected. Repeated sightings in a kitchen and a shared hallway may need a wider building conversation.

Bed bugsLook for live bugs, dark spotting, shed skins or rusty marks around mattress seams and bed frames. Bites can have other causes and are not a reliable identification on their own.
Record where the evidence appeared. Avoid moving belongings between rooms while the concern is being assessed, and ask for preparation instructions before an appointment.

AntsA trail near a window, pantry or sink is a useful starting point. Record where ants enter, what is nearby and whether the pattern changes through the day.
Seal stored food and clean up spills. Describe the insect and its location before choosing a treatment; ants and winged termites can be confused.

TermitesSwarming insects, mud tubes or damaged wood can warrant professional assessment. Winged ants and termites look similar at first glance, but their antennae and wing proportions differ.
Note visible changes without opening walls or disturbing structural material. Mention moisture problems and ask what the inspection and proposed work will cover.

Wasps & hornetsRepeated insect traffic around an eave, wall opening or garden structure can help locate a concern. Give the location and say whether it is close to an entrance or walkway.
Keep people away from the area and do not disturb the nest. Species, height and access affect the work involved; honey-bee handling should be discussed separately.

See all pest servicesFood, moisture and places to hide can keep a problem going. Understanding those conditions is just as important as recognizing the pest.
A sink, a bed frame and a shared basement give very different clues.
Leaks, accessible food and openings can make a space attractive to pests.
Ask about the treatment, preparation and property repairs that fit the findings.
A ground-floor apartment, a family home and a busy storefront don’t have the same access or preparation needs. Tell Swift about your space so the conversation starts in the right place.
Pest control in QueensMention shared walls, utility spaces and who can arrange access beyond your unit.
Include basements, attached garages, yards and the entrances where activity appears.
Discuss occupied hours, storage areas and the person coordinating the work.
Yes. Tell Swift what you have noticed and where. A clear photo taken without approaching or disturbing the pest may help. Identification comes before choosing the right service.
Repeated activity can be connected to food, water, hiding places or access from nearby spaces. Report leaks and building gaps, keep food sealed and explain any previous treatment. In an apartment building, the relevant area may extend beyond one unit.
Not necessarily. EPA guidance says bites are a poor indicator on their own. Physical evidence—such as live insects, dark spotting, shed skins or marks on bedding—provides a better starting point for identification.
Ask for instructions for the specific pest and proposed work. Mention children, pets, access restrictions and any products already used. Avoid clearing whole rooms or moving belongings based on general advice.
The pest, affected area, access and any follow-up work influence the scope. Contact Swift for a quote for your property, and ask what the price includes before approving the work.
