Pest control built for Red Hook
Red Hook's working waterfront and surviving industrial buildings along Van Brunt Street and Conover Street harbour some of the largest rat populations in Brooklyn — the port infrastructure, shipping containers and food-wholesale operations along the waterfront create extensive rodent habitat that feeds into the surrounding residential blocks.
The low-lying neighbourhood's proximity to New York Harbor means periodic flooding in basements and ground-floor units; post-flood dampness draws 'water bugs' and carpenter ants, and standing water in uneven lots creates seasonal mosquito breeding sites.
The dense seasonal food festival activity at the Red Hook Ball Fields and the growing restaurant scene on Van Brunt Street sustains fly and rodent pressure in the warmer months.
