How Do I Stop Bugs and Mice From Entering My NYC Apartment?

Let Team Handy Dan, New York City, Licensed and Insured Experienced Handymen Help You Prevent Mice and Roach Infestation.


An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, said Ben Franklin in 1736.
He was reminding the citizens of Philly to be careful regarding fire safety. This
old adage sure does still apply today to everyone’s desire to live in a New York
City home that is free of bugs and mice. Yep, it is definitely better to keep out
those nasty, unwanted roommates in the first place.

No Entrance Allowed for Mice and Roaches


Mice and roaches are sneaky and smart. You can unknowingly easily bring roaches
home in your grocery bag without even realizing it. From the corner fruit stand to
your favorite Whole Foods Market, no where is completely bug free. You had
shopped and happily brought home some ice cream and cookies. You put your
groceries away and never imagined you had also brought home something else.
Later when that ice cream was calling out to you and your stomach was rumbling
you stroll happily into your kitchen, hit the light and you see it. A ROACH! You
consider stepping on it until you realize you’re barefooted. No, find the bug spray.
And you search the back of your pantry and pull out that old can of Raid. But you of
course no longer see that damn roach, so you proceed to spray so much Raid that
you then have to open all your windows so you won’t pass out from the fumes.
Chemical bug killing fumes are now in your home. It stinks, you’re worried about
your pet too. And who knows if that nasty roach is gone, dead or just hiding?

Stop Mice from Entering Your Apartment


What if you reach for that yummy bag of cookies and you see it has been chewed
into. You actually see little teeth marks on the bag and some of the cookies have
been eaten. Or you begin to see little dark colored droppings in your cabinet. Yes,
dropping are mice poop. So your hard earned money is being wasted when you have
to throw out food. Your also hard earned free time is now being spent battling and
cleaning up after mice and roaches. But wait remember that old Ben Franklin
saying-prevention is way better than the cure, so lets try to prevent all this work and
worry by calling us, Team Handy Dan.
