Termite damage

We have discovered termite damage and hope that it is localized. But we have to be sure. Seeking recommendations for contractors that will thoroughly investigate the damage, recommend and action an aggressive solution. We have a contract with Terminix and want them to cover the costs of the damage. Any advice on that is appreciated as well. Thanks.

Good exterminator for mice problem

I have a mouse problem in my house. I would get a cat but am allergic to them (and even then I've considered it). These mice are driving me crazy. They leave droppings, so I put traps near the droppings and nothing, except new droppings the next day somewhere else. It's almost as if they are watching me and having a good old laugh. I need an exterminator who doesn't just bait a few traps and sprinkle them round the house--I can do that-- but someone who understands mice, the way they tick, and how to get rid of them. Anyone got suggestions, please, I'm going mad.

Hi everyone,

My wife and I need to hire an exterminator who is familiar with brownstones to do an inspection in Fort Greene.

Does anyone have any recommendations or warnings?

Cockroaches

I love to read the NY times real estate section...those pre-war brownstones a block away from the promenade...aaah, the view...THE COCKROACHES!!!

My advice: BUYER BEWARE.. you will be mortaging your life away, only to share your new abode with a family of humongous cockroaches. FYI

something living in my ceiling

last night I heard something rooting around above the ceiling on the top floor of my house. then, whatever it was to a leak, and I kid you not, it started dripping through the ceiling and onto the floor. this really freaked me out - I have no idea what kind of animal this is - large rodent? cat? anyone else have creatures in their ceilings under the roof?

who should I call?

Exterminator for mice...

We need a good exterminator - ideally one who specializes in mice.

Can anyone recommend one?

To make matters worse, our neighbor is part of the problem - her house is a mess and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in ages with junk all over inside. Any suggestions how to deal with this?
