Fly control is among the most common pest issues we treat in Hunts Point. High residential density and rental turnover in the apartment stock keep bed bug risk elevated; the proximity to major truck routes and warehouse operations can bring secondary pest pressure (stored-product pests, flies) into buildings adjacent to logistics facilities.
Fly control in Hunts Point: what to know
Hunts Point hosts the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center — the largest wholesale food market complex in the United States. The scale of food handling, waste and cold-chain operations here drives some of the most intense rodent populations in the five boroughs, with rat territories extending from the market infrastructure into the surrounding residential blocks through shared infrastructure.
The industrial-residential interface along Bruckner Boulevard means residential buildings are close to food-processing and waste-handling operations that generate persistent fly pressure in addition to rodent activity; older multi-family buildings in the residential pocket have shared basements where cockroaches establish from adjacent commercial sources.

Signs you need fly control
- Small flies hovering around drains, sinks, or fruit
- Flies concentrated near a specific drain or piece of equipment
- A recurring fly problem in a kitchen or food-prep area
How we treat fly control in Hunts Point
Flies are a sanitation and reputation problem, especially for restaurants and food service. Fruit flies and drain flies breed in the organic film inside drains, under equipment and in damp build-up — so killing the adults does nothing if the breeding source remains.
We identify the species and trace the breeding source, eliminate it, and treat to knock down the adult population, with ongoing options for food-service clients where fly pressure is constant.
