Brian’s career in the pest control business began over 25 years ago. He spent three years in the southern United States learning from a world-renowned entomologist (among others) and helped start the Sentricon baiting program for termites with Dow Elanco. Brian advanced through the field to eventually run a major sales force and acquired a distinctive edge in the business. Through this experience, Brian realized he wanted to return to his home state of NY and create his own niche in the rodent control market. He developed a highly successful approach, rejecting the easy but environmentally unsound approach of poison – and instead relying on hard work, common sense, and the correct materials to prevent rodents from entering people’s homes in the first place. Fast forward a few years, and Brian began to realize there were additional niches in this area that needed to be more friendly towards the environment and the clients’ health. He therefore co-invented the Enviroboot® Dust Suppression System to help control the toxic silica dust that is produced when concrete is broken with a jackhammer. The result was a reduction in toxic dust greater than 97% according to the EPA and was awarded the 2006 US EPA CLEAN AIR EXCELLENCE AWARD.
Brian M. Sweig has a special set of skills and licenses in NY and CT including Nuisance/Wildlife, Home Improvement, and Home Inspection (CT), Mold Assessment and looks forward to helping make your home a better place for you and your family.

General exterminating, placing dangerous poisons in your home! Generally the foolish things that most companies offer just to make a buck. We never use foam to seal homes as it does not hold up for very long. Home or bank inspections. Inspections or services concerning apartments, multi-residential as it's not possible to get 100% sealed. We also do not inspect non-owner occupied homes as renters do not have authorization to modify homes permanently. Inspection for lawsuit purposes.
Brian and his team are wonderful. I give them an A+ rating for the service they provided in both my home and my parents. Brian is professional tohis core, honest and fair with his cost. He explains everything that needs to be done and does a great job fixing the problems.

I have used different pest control companies over the years. By far, Thoroughspect is the best. Brian is professional, honest and clear with his explanation of treatment and cost. Without a doubt he finds the problem and remedies it because he cares about his clients and their homes.

We hired Thoroughspect to complete a rodent exclusion for our home. Prior to exclusion we used another typical pest control company that utilized poison. The prior approach was not effective and periodically led to the odor of dead rodents behind drywall. While the cost of exclusion initially seemed high relative to other methods, the value is off the charts since it is a one and done solution. Brian’s team spent a week completely sealing every inch of our home (all seams along foundation, siding joints, vents, etc) with high quality copper, galvanized steel and wood materials (no foam, which rodents will quickly penetrate). For the uninformed, exclusion may seem like a straightforward process, but it truly requires a professional with a critical eye for detail and a passion to completely seal every potential entry point. Within a week of exclusion all evidence of rodents completely disappeared. Our finished basement now smells fresh and clean and we finally have peace of mind that this issue is completely and finally put to bed. You owe it to yourself to speak with Brian and solve the problem.

As a new homeowner, the best call I ever made was to Brian, at Thoroughspect. Brian’s masterful knowledge about the design, function, and health of a home, combined with his expertise in safe and effective pest removal/ exclusion absolutely sets him and his team apart from others in the field. The team spares no detail in their inspections, diagnostics, and work - and Brian is eager to share his wealth of knowledge to support and teach his clients. In a profession where coupons, fliers, and infomercials misguide homeowners into cutting corners and spraying foam into cracks or using poison to “control” an infestation; Thoroughspect is an absolute diamond in the rough.

Brian came, inspected the house, gave us a detailed description of all the problem areas with pictures, and followed up with a quote to seal. We were apprehensive about the quote because it was less detailed than we were used to. BUT, after a conversation with Brian, we determined he knew what he was doing and decided to proceed. It's taken me a while to review him because I wanted to see how the sealing turned out. We're going on 2 years without bats and mice! Our whole process took two separate weeks, because they determined we had nursing bats while they were sealing and bats can't be removed with babies (not what I wanted to hear, but Brian follows the rules). Brian has been responsive to questions long after completing the job with us. He's a wealth of knowledge and I highly recommend his service!

I first met Brian about 4 years ago after moving into our Westchester home. We hired him to do an inspection of the home. The name of the company fits him because the inspection was in fact very thorough. We ended up hiring Brian and his team to do a complete house seal that took about 10 days as there was evidence in the house that there had been a rodent problem. The work they did was very impressive and the team was extremely professional. Four years later we are still rodent free! Nonetheless, I still have Brian come and inspect my home occasionally because he is one of the most knowledgeable, thorough, honest people I have ever met. From finding issues that could cause harm to my family (like mold in a corner) to simply pointing out that screws are missing from an electrical panel, he doesn't miss a thing. I can't recommend Brian and his team enough - they are simply the best. The service they have provided me over that last few years is above and beyond and I haven't met a single home service provider that even comes close in quality of service. If you have any issue in your home (rodents or not), look no further and call Brian.

Exceptionally. Perfectly. Although not cheap - no better application of the parable, "You get what you paid for." If anything - I got more than I paid for!!! The Thoroughspect team worked 5 days, 9-5, as professionally as one could imagine to get the job done right. After which we had the comfort of knowing the work itself was warrantied against failures. This is a follow-up 3 years on from a previous review at time of service: Holmes on Holmes on Steroids. Simply put Thoroughspect accomplished what we, and numerous other experts and professional concerns had previously deemed impossible: keeping our home rodent free. We've been in this house 25 years. For the first 22, with monthly visits from the professionals, despite glue boards, steel wool, and spray foam, we'd always had incursions, droppings, etc... in our basement, attic and crawl spaces. Mice, bats and even squirrels on one occasion. This will now be the third year running that we've had none. ZERO. The industrial strength snap-traps Thoroughspect left behind, have served more as a proof of concept than anything else. None of them - scattered from attic to basement - have been tripped. We're frankly astonished, and of course, entirely 100% satisfied. Brian and the team are consummate professionals, one of the few we've encountered that not only deliver exactly (if not more) than promised, but do so with first-rate customer engagement, dependability, and service. Count us among Throroughspect's many customers who can truly say, "Living rodent free has changed our lives!"

Thanks, After 19 years of sealing homes and other various projects I have come to realize how specialized our service and our clients are. We cater to clients who won't risk their families health from poisons or lack of sleep from all the noises and allergens the critters make. I hear the same thing gladly many times from clients that they sleep better and are thankful for the quality of the service. When you look at the dollars spent our service cannot be compared to any other as we spend days performing these tasks not hours. If you want to solve the issues in and around your home we will be happy to show you what we can do for you. Respectfully, Brian M. Sweig

I would give them absolutely all A's across the board. Brian is one of the most honest and insightful. I can't believe anyone else is even permitted to do home inspection.

I honestly can't say enough positive things about Thoroughspect and Brian. We moved into a new house over the summer with major bat and mouse issues, and water in the basement. Of all the service providers we had (and there were a ton), Thoroughspect was by far the best value for the money and the most effective and reliable, and Brian is a pleasure to deal with. I don't typically ever write reviews, but the only reason I waited this long to write a review was because I wanted to make sure that the problems were solved even after a few months and into the winter. I can happily say we are 100% pest and water free! The bottom line is that other pest control companies' businesses rely on maintenance agreements, so they only make money if you continue to need maintenance. Brian's business is only successful if he actually solves the problem, and that is what he does. In addition to the services I paid for, he also provided a ton of great free advice about other things in my house, some of which were potential safety issues for my 2 young kids for which my wife and I were extremely appreciative. I only wish I had Brian as a home inspector - I would've saved a lot of money on the house!

His written report was a joke, not detailed at all and very short. Seemed as if he was trying to scare us into $15,000 of his work. He also wouldn't walk into our attic as he doesn't do that any longer since he has an issue with his legs. Half the information he gave us was wrong as we called company to address concerns he brought up. We went with another company to address our concerns for the cost of $3575. I definitely wouldn't recommend him to anyone.

With little exception our past experience has been with contractors that overpromise and under deliver. This is NOT the case with Thoroughspect. Just as the company name indicates, Brian the owner is very thorough and detailed. Both he and his team are professional and deliver high quality results. We initially contacted him to solve a rodent infestation. The $179.00 inspection was well worth the investment. In addition to providing a plan on how to approach the rodent issue, Brian pointed out several other issues with the home. At our request he also provided a well thought out proposal to solve a long term water leakage/drainage issue in the garage that also affected the first level of the home. All work was performed both in a timely manner and efficiently. The communication throughout the process was excellent. Since the rodent sealing was completed last October the house is mouse free and the garage is bone dry. Thank you Brian! We give a A++++ Rating without hesitation.

Hello, First of all thanks for the nice review and great grades. We often receive reviews for pest control but in reality we are a speciality service that seals single family homes from mice, bats, rats and all types of squirrels. We do not use any poison and are exclusionists with a rare ability to modify a home from the exterior to stop these little critters from gaining access. We also perform dustless basement waterproofing, insulation removal/ replacement and decontamination of rodent related areas with non carcinogenic products. If you have questions about how we can help you live rodent free or any other services such as thermal imaging and moisture control via commercial dehumidification just let us know. Thanks, Brian M.

Normally you inspect the house before you buy it and I did, but I found a couple of things that the inspector had missed, and Thoroughspect, as the name thorough inspection kind of implies, they market themselves as going above and beyond what a typical inspection would do, and I wanted to find out about stuff around my house. He did very well. There was only one thing that I didn't like. It was services and inspection, and I'm kind of trusting him to give me his backyard assessment of things, but he mentioned when he was here that he runs a couple of other businesses like mitigating damage to houses and things like that. At various points I felt like some of the things that he was noticing or what he tended to notice more or what he would call out are things that he was potentially in a position to use another one of his companies to renovate. He was very knowledgeable. He found a lot of different things that were great. Maybe he makes potential future customers aware that he does a lot of other businesses to remedy one of his concerns and his recommendations are going to be in line with trying to get you to use one of those services.

Hello all, Interesting review as the client ordered a Faultfinders inspection ( I am not a home inspector) and when the faults were just so obvious he felt overwhelmed a bit being his first home I believe. While this is a positive review from an inspection about 6-12 months ago I do find it to be a bit off kilter as I advertise that I am a contractor who has the ability to find faults in and around homes that most people miss. I always tell people to have a home inspection and also have someone like me do a comprehensive inspection on some of the more specialized aspects such as rodents, bats, moisture, wood rot, gutters and always hire a separate electrical inspection. This is my 250th review on Angies and I have learned that a thorough response is always best so both sides can be heard with the good and the ok. Peace and I look forward to clients who wish to learn about their homes from someone who truly enjoys finding and teaching. We will be launching a home inspection business for NY and CT this spring so imagine how many more items I'll be able to show you as I work for the client.

Brian was highly responsive, extremely efficient, and led a skilled team to do outstanding work. He patiently described what he was doing on the initial inspection of the home and answered all my questions. We ran his findings by a relative who is an experienced contractor; he found the findings, conclusion, and plan to be quite sound and recommended we pursue the "sealing up" project. Brian's team was skilled and courteous and always ended the day with an immaculately clean and neat workspace. The project required that before the sealing up we do a massive cleanout of attic and basement. Brian brought in a team who did a fantastic job of cleaning out mountains of junk without leaving a trace in the living areas of the house. There has been to trace of mice or other critters since the project was completed. Even this week, months after the completion of the job, Brian promptly responded to emailed questions regarding some follow-up work being carried out by an electrician. I recommend Thoroughspect without any reservations.

Brian & his team are very knowledgeable, thorough, and courteous. Brian takes the time to really explain how mice and other animals are getting in, and the work they need to do. They sealed our house against mice (and any other critter that might want in). The team was very diligent at finding any possible entry point; and then sealing those points. During the inspection, no bats were detected; but between the inspection time and the work; some bats and birds moved into our chimney. They got them out, and gave a great recommendation for a company to install a chimney cap. They then inspected the cap work done to ensure that no bats/birds etc could re-enter. They also found a leak where a chimney goes through the roof, and fixed it. When the sealing was almost done, we caught several mice who no longer had a way OUT of the house. This is exactly as was planned; i.e. to seal the house, then trap those still inside. After the work was done, they set lots of mouse traps to be sure that no mice remained; and none do. We are very happy with Brian's customer service, work done, and communication. Highly recommend. The peace of mind that comes with living rodent free is wonderful thing!. They are not cheap, but well worth the expense. They are very busy, and Brian explained up-front the wait time before starting. They did start the job when they had estimated.

We purchased an inspection through an Angie's list coupon. Brian contacted us promptly and scheduled a date within a week of our inquiry. The site visit exceeded our expectations. Brian is very experienced and knowledgeable. While educating us about local bat behavior and methods of dealing with them, he identified numerous access points around our 60 year old house that would definitely need attention. He provided a proposal via email a week or so after the visit and was responsive to our questions. He also provided referrals to another vendor who could deal with mold remediation. We ultimately went with another contractor who provided a better price, but I'm sure Brian would have done a great job and may be best in class if your budget allows for such thorough and professional work.

Brian devised a plan to deal with the entirety of our problems. He started with eliminating the rat infestation from around the foundation, and then, set to work on removing the attic infestations and sealing the entire house against future intrusions. The house is over 5,000 square feet, and his team sealed every conceivable opening, including areas around our shed. It has been several weeks and we have not seen hide nor hair of any of the offending trespassers. Brian and his team were true professionals throughout the work process. They worked unobtrusively for 2 weeks, always cleaned up the worksite in the evening, and were meticulous in their work. I can't say enough good things about our experience. On top of all this, Brian is a genuinely caring and trustworthy individual. He looks for ways to go above and beyond...a rarity in our experience in Fairfield County CT. Thanks Brian!
Description of Work: We discovered a rather extensive rat infestation this spring in the gardens surrounding our home. A rather well known pest control company suggested that we might have a "few mice", but we saw the rats frolicking throughout the garden, and, our pest controls best solution was a few poorly placed mouse traps. We came to Angie's List and went looking for an expert. We read the reviews and reached out to Brian at Thoroughspect. Brian was backed up with other calls and was very honest about the wait we would have before he could arrive to do an inspection. We knew that this was not a minor problem, and we wanted someone who knew what they were doing. Despite Brian's offer for a referral to another provider, we opted to wait for an opening. Brian hustled to get to us as soon as possible and started by offering us sound advice over the phone. His on-site inspection confirmed the rat infestation, and his home inspection also uncovered a small propane gas leak (yikes), and evidence of a bat and flying squirrel infestation in the attic (saw the droppings and paw prints with Brian as he performed the inspection.) We never saw any of the critters in the attic, but we "heard noises" from time to time. Now we know why. Needless to say we were concerned, but also convinced that our previous pest control company had done us " zero" favors.

Rated AAA+. I have a very high standard for work that is performed in and around our large home in Northern Westchester. Brian was the single best contractor of any type that I have ever had walk through our door. His knowledge and work surpassed all expectations (and then more). Brian and his team were at our residence for nearly 3 weeks. I met with him nearly every day to receive updates, show me all the work he was doing and explain why he was doing it (along with the quality of materials he was using). I wanted to be highly involved and Brian welcomed it. Brian is incredibly passionate, you can always tell when you deal directly with the owner of a Company. Needless to say, many months have now past and Brian has eradicated our problems entirely. Perhaps equally as impressive, Brian's knowledge of how a home should be constructed correctly is beyond compare. While Brian was onsite, he discovered a small propane leak, a bad valve that we leaking water into our foundation, amongst other issues. I also had him install a humidification system which has worked flawlessly. I told Brian that I would never buy another home without having him come by to walk thru it with me first! In short, you will never find anyone who checks more of the "A" boxes on Angies List than Brian. I have never written a review before, but Brian deserves all the kind words (and many more) that I can leave for him.
Description of Work: Sealed whole house from pests (mice, flying squirrels, bats in our case).

Hello, Many thanks for the kind words and taking the time to leave a review. The dollar amount is not correct as this was a large project and the client tried to change it to the correct amount. This client was super nice and wanted to learn what his home looked like through my eyes so to speak and it turned out to be a great learning experience. While we take a great deal of pride in sealing homes the human interaction and teaching is equally satisfying. Living rodent free will change your life! Respectfully, Brian M. Sweig

Decided the cost was too high and didn't use their services and decided not to have the work done.

Hi Thoroughspect performed a thorough inspection, arrived on time and gave me a good deal of information about my home. That's how the review should actually read along with we decided not to have them seal the home due to budgetary constraints. And the cost of the inspection is not correct. Brian

Amazing. They were here for days up on ladders on the roof, etc. Took pictures of all the problems and explained them. They even went beyond the scope a bit and sealed up some areas that water was probably getting in at no extra cost. Alerted us to other roofing problems that we are calling in a roofer for. Brian is so knowledgable and decent. I recommend him unreservedly and will never use anyone else.

Hi Angies members, I want to take a moment to thank this client for the great review and the recognition that we go above and beyond. Here's the deal on critter proofing a home. 1- If you use foam it will fail 2- If every inch of the home from top to bottom is not searched and sealed with the correct materials then it will fail. 3- If you use poison and can't gage what's being destroyed then it will fail. Living rodent free will change your life!™ and it all starts with a faultfinders™ Inspection. Thanks again to this family for the great review and for being really nice people as well. Brian M. Sweig

General exterminating, placing dangerous poisons in your home! Generally the foolish things that most companies offer just to make a buck. We never use foam to seal homes as it does not hold up for very long. Home or bank inspections. Inspections or services concerning apartments, multi-residential as it's not possible to get 100% sealed. We also do not inspect non-owner occupied homes as renters do not have authorization to modify homes permanently. Inspection for lawsuit purposes.
