About us
Your home will be inspected & documented w/annotated phots provided to show what has made it in and how including but not limited to water in your basement, mice, bats, flying squirrels. In addition, This will help you understand what needs to be done to stop them from getting inside in the first place and then we can professionally seal it with non-chewable materials. We service lower Fairfield County, CT and parts of Westchester County, NY. 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.

On the main task of getting bats, mice and squirrels out of our house Brian initially did a very thorough (just as the name implies!) inspection of our house and even send me photos to work for possible entry ways and things he will attend to. He was very prompt on completing the task, checking in as promised and being very organized and detail oriented. Most superb job and would very highly recommend him for the job. Most excellent!

"Hello I spent a few hours on this inspection as it was a tough on and I wanted to make sure the client would not miss a beat on what I was finding. The client was responsive and I really appreciate it when a review is promptly given as I work hard and smart for all my clients. I do hope this work is entrusted to me as I will prove what excellence really is in the service industry. Peace Brian"

We had to wait a while for the weather to allow outdoor work. When Brian came back he brouight two workers and introduced them to me right away. He also used a discrete vehicle! They started on the foundation while Brain set traps in the attic and crawl space. The job took two and a half days. During that time I followed my regular schedule and experienced no odors or excessive noise.
Brian demonstrated his caring and creativity with a particularly large opening in the front, by the garage door. He re-did it with new materials and then camouflaged it to blend in with natural stone; a work of art!
Brian is a professional who knows both his craft and how to allay a client"s concerns. It helped that he has a good sense of humor and is easy to talk to.

He was awesome! I wish he was my home inspector. Brian was detailed, helpful, and hilarious. He even went out of his way to list and photograph everything I needed to do.

"Hello, This was a really tough job for some of the nicest folks. These critters were educated (PHD) in the art of being trapped and chased for a long,long time before I came into the picture so it was really difficult. The last rat would walk up to camouflaged traps and turn his head both ways like he was crossing the street carefully and then just walk away. I'm glad we got this house sorted out and they (the [removed member name]) can go back to living rodent free as it will change their lives! Thanks for trusting Thoroughspect with your home, and your family. Peace Brian M. Sweig"

He was professional and very knowledgeable but the cost to re-mediate the issues found was extraordinary.
Response from THOROUGHSPECT, LLC
"Hello good people, Nice enough people in a home that had very little repairs in many years so the work quoted was in line with the amount as it should have been. I am a nit picker when I pay for a service so I truly believe in fair critique and as the inspection cost( the service rendered) was 49.00 I believe reviews should be for the service paid for! Thoroughspect does not have a single review that is not pretty spectacular for clients that have actually had work performed and everyone who allows me to inspect their home always appreciates the level this service is performed at. I encourage all who write reviews for Any service provider to keep this in mind as to review a service rendered vs quoted is incorrect. It is with great pride and a big smile that I answer all reviews as I love what I do for families. Living rodent free will change your life! Thanks in advance and I hope to help your family live in a healthier, cleaner environment with the services Thoroughspect " performs""

Brian was very professional in his visit. I have been having mice in my house and something in my attic. He looked in my basement and exterior of my house and let me know area's of possible of possible intruding and how to better protect/safeguard it from animals. Unfortunately, I live on a steep hill and one of the possible area's for sealant is on my roof. Brian gave me a quote which was high due to the dangerous nature of the work, but he told me in person to expect it to be high. I am hoping to do most of the work myself that he gave me pointers on rectifying, and hope to find a lower cost insured handyman to seal up the gaps in the roof.

"Hello Nice guy with his first home. I wish him the best and hope he is careful so it does not turn out badly. I told him he could email me and pick my brain as we all remember when we were just starting out and could use some extra help Thanks Brian"

Never did the work
Response from THOROUGHSPECT, LLC
"Hello folks, So I reached out to this client as it is a bit of a mystery considering I sent a concise quote, received an email from him saying he wanted to have the work done and then .... Well it is a bit of a mystery after that. Sometimes certain things can't be cured! I hope whomever is reading these responses understands that nothing in life is 100%. I do my very best to keep everyone happy with these initial inspections. In conclusion all of our clients whom we have actually done sealing work for are very happy to live rodent free as it will change your life. Please allow me to inspect your home and judge for yourself. Thanks for reading. Brian M. Sweig"

"Thanks for the opportunity to inspect your home. I can only say that in reference to the quote provided- the more work needed to make your home rodent free then the more the quote would be. This makes perfect sense with any scope of work. Peace Brian M. Sweig"

It went well. We had a little bit of a shaky start since the weather got so bad , Brian wasn't able to get to me as quickly as I expected, and it would have been good if he kept in touch with me. But once he got here and did the work, he and his crew were quick and thorough. I haven't heard (or seen) any evidence of any uninvtied guests so I sleep much better at night. I thought the price was a little high, but the peace of mind it gave me is worth every penny.
Response from THOROUGHSPECT, LLC
"Hello, With the weather so darn cold and a few feet of snow I'm glad we were able to get this home rodent free during the winter. There were a few days that were so cold that I was simply drained after work and found a nice warm bed before my evening emails so I did indeed miss a notification or two- no big deal as this client is most happy with the work. If you read the reviews from people who hire Thoroughspect to seal their homes you will see we are at 100% rodent free and proud of it. Many thanks for the nice review Brian Sweig"

Brian and the team at Thoroughspect are simply amazing. We called them after my husband found a dead mouse in our basement (we have lived in the house for about 5 months) and I wasn't convinced that our extermination company was adequately addressing the issue. Brian came out and did a very detailed inspection. He found way too many things for me to list here but some of the highlights were: 1) the previous owners had placed enough poison in the house to kill up to 40 pounds of animals, 2) not only were there mouse feces but also flying squirrel, 3) the house had been inadequately sealed at least two times before.
Brian also pointed out things that could be potential issues totally unrelated to rodents. Some of these things were dangerous to our health and we are very grateful that he was able to identify the issues. In addition, he was able to provide recommendations for service providers for any issue that came up. The amount of knowledge he has related to homes is so impressive I would like him to write a manual for our house. After the inspection we hired him to seal the house.
There were numerous times throughout the process that I wondered what I was getting for the fee (it is not cheap) but at the end of the day feel that Brian and his team delivered their end of the deal and MORE. I would recommend this company without hesitation to any of my closest friends and family. If you have any type of rodent problem, stop wasting time and call Thoroughspect. You will be happy that you did.

Very thorough inspection of house, was supposed to give a detailed report of what he had found with pictures of pipes in basement, and possible entry points, around inside and outside of house. He said we would see the report the following weekend. He didn’t get back to us. My wife followed up with him, and he apologized and the report he sent was not the detailed report with any pictures he said he would send.

"Hello folks, If you read the other 49 reviews you will see this is so out of character and was fully explained to this client that I had a camera storage card malfunction. I offered to come back out any day( even Sunday) to take new pictures, I guess that was not good enough! I hope this client gives me the opportunity to rectify this situation. Brian M. Sweig"

"Hello, This home was built in 1800's so to seal the multitude of critters out is a good sized project and was priced correctly. I aim to rodent proof every home on the planet, but that is not a realistic goal as some are used to an exterminator throwing poison all over the home for a few hundred dollars. My type of clients can and do see the difference between a bandage on a gaping wound and a real and true solution. Best wishes and good luck in the future as he was a nice guy in general Thanks Brian"
