When pests invade your NYC home or business, one of the first questions people ask is:
“Where do exterminators spray—and is it safe for my family, pets, or customers?” At Chelsea
Pest Control, we know that safety and peace of mind are just as important as eliminating the
problem. Here’s what you need to know.
Where Do Exterminators Spray?
Professional exterminators don’t just “spray everywhere.” Instead, we target the areas where
pests live, hide, and travel. Depending on the type of pest problem, treatments may include:
● Baseboards & Entry Points – Cracks, crevices, and along baseboards where insects
often enter and travel.
● Kitchens & Bathrooms – Key areas for roaches, ants, and water-loving pests.
● Basements & Storage Areas – Dark, damp spaces where pests hide and nest.
● Exterior Foundation & Perimeter – To stop pests before they get inside.
● Targeted Spots for Specific Pests – For example, bed bug treatments focus on beds,
furniture, and seams; rodent treatments focus on entry points and nesting zones.

The goal is precision—treating the right areas to solve the problem while minimizing chemical
use.
Is It Safe?
Safety is our top priority. The products professional exterminators use today are highly regulated
and designed to be effective against pests but safe for people and pets when applied correctly.
At Chelsea Pest Control, we take extra precautions:
● Low-Toxicity Treatments – We use industry-approved products that are safe for
homes, businesses, children, and pets.

● Trained & Licensed Technicians – Our team knows exactly how to apply treatments
safely and responsibly.
● Targeted Application – Instead of blanket spraying, we apply only where needed.
● Clear Instructions – After treatment, we’ll let you know if there’s any short wait time or
precaution needed.

In most cases, you can remain in your home or business during and after treatment with little to
no disruption.
Why Professional Pest Control is Safer than DIY
Many DIY products sold in stores actually carry higher risks because they’re often misused or
over-applied. Professional exterminators in NYC know how to handle infestations the safe
way—with the right products, in the right places, and in the right amounts.
