Recommended Buys!

Choosing the right materials for bug prevention is crucial for effectiveness and comfort. Here are five of our favorite items:

Advion Gel – https://amzn.to/42VhLFR – Use safely and exactly as stated in their instructions. We do not handle or apply this, but are happy to explain it to you in detail.
Diatomaceous Earth (FOOD GRADE) – https://amzn.to/3uUC3m7 – Use safely and exactly as stated in their instructions. Use gloves and a mask when applying. Read up online about how/where to use it.
Food Scrap Bucket – https://amzn.to/42QZJVb – We recommend using this in your refrigerator in combination with dog waste bags to hold any food scraps until you can take the trash out. Food in an open/accessible trash can is asking for future unwanted guests.
Mouse Trap – https://amzn.to/3Iazfoa – Spin traps are easy, humane, and make no-mess.
Roach/Glue Motels – https://amzn.to/3IdaYh5 – More the merrier. Toss under and behind everything. Out of sight, out of mind if something makes it into your home.
Roach Tablets – https://amzn.to/3T1tcHE – Toss behind appliances, out of reach of children and animals
Door Sweeps – https://amzn.to/3PxfE5c – Stick these on any exterior doors to keep creepy crawly bugs and mice from sneaking inside!

Door Gaps Are A Bug's Way In!

In and around New York City, it is necessary for all of us to have doors to access our apartments. However, this does not imply that any rodent or insect should have unrestricted access through these doors whenever they desire!

Team Handy Dan is available to assist in sealing the gaps surrounding your entry doors. By doing so, we will also help in preventing unwanted odors (referring to that neighbor who cooks questionable food at all hours) from entering your unit as well as maintaining the desired temperature inside.

There are various types of weather stripping available for use based on factors such as color, size, and their purpose (keeping out bugs, water, etc.). We can discuss your preferences and requirements in order to ensure that the appropriate materials are installed correctly on the first attempt!

#1 Entry Is Piping Under Sinks!

Have you ever taken a thorough look beneath the sink in your kitchen? How about the bathroom sink? Perhaps behind your toilet or where the heat pipes for your radiator enter? No? Well, that’s precisely why Team Handy Dan is here!

Virtually every home has gaps that range from being narrow enough to fit one finger all the way up to being as wide as a fist! It’s almost like leaving your front door wide open and laying out a trail of food leading straight into your home!

Team Handy Dan can step in and assist in identifying and sealing these openings using a combination of temporary materials. This approach ensures that plumbers or building supervisors can still access those pipes and gaps when needed. Consequently, our methods effectively keep pests at bay without causing any future complications related to plumbing issues.

DO YOU REQUIRE PEST CONTROL IN NYC?

During our visit to your location, we’ll will guide you through additional suggestions and techniques to ensure that your apartment remains as free from bugs as possible (although complete prevention cannot be guaranteed).

By implementing these recommendations, you will experience a significant reduction in the appearance of creepy crawlies within your living space.

So if you would like your apartment addressed as soon as possible, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
