Ant control is among the most common pest issues we treat in Windsor Terrace. Garden-level and basement apartments in the row houses are prone to large 'water bugs' rising from drains and to ant trails entering around old foundations and window frames.
Ant control in Windsor Terrace: what to know
Windsor Terrace is a quiet, low-rise Brooklyn neighbourhood of brick row houses, two-family homes and small pre-war apartment buildings wedged between Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery. The older housing stock — deep baseboard voids, shared walls and original plumbing — drives steady mouse, German-cockroach and ant pressure between units.
Sitting between two of Brooklyn's largest green spaces, the neighbourhood sees heavier seasonal pressure than its density suggests: rodents moving in from the park and cemetery edges, mosquitoes breeding in standing water after summer rain, and ants foraging indoors through the warm months — especially for homes along Prospect Park West and Fort Hamilton Parkway.

How we treat ant control in Windsor Terrace
Windsor Terrace's brick row houses and small pre-war apartment buildings give ants a specific way in: garden-level and basement apartments see ant trails entering around old foundations and window frames, a direct result of the older construction's original seals having settled or cracked over decades.
Sitting between Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery, the neighbourhood also sees ants foraging indoors through the warm months as outdoor colonies near both green spaces expand and search for food and moisture — pressure that's higher here than in blocks farther from either edge.
