Irvington is compact and densely built, with a housing stock of early-1900s multi-family homes, attached and semi-attached rows, and prewar apartment buildings on old stone and block foundations. That construction defines the work. German cockroaches and bed bugs travel between units through wall voids, outlets, baseboards, and shared plumbing chases, and a single treated apartment surrounded by untreated ones gets reinfested. Coordinated, building-wide treatment is what holds.
Norway rats burrow along the alleys, behind the commercial blocks, and beside dumpster pads, then enter basements through deteriorated mortar, old pipe chases, and basement doors that no longer seal. Mice use the same gaps, and in an attached row they move freely from address to address.
Underneath, New Jersey's heavy subterranean termite pressure works quietly on century-old frame houses with damp basements. Above ground, Asian tiger mosquitoes breed in containers in tight backyards, and yellowjackets take the soffits by late summer.
