Award winning. Owner operated. We have a team of seven and have certified commercial applicators out in the field as well as in the office.

"Accurate Pest Control goes above and beyond. They are honest, dependable and knowledgeable. Their skill set is much more than just pest control. I had a porch attached to the back part of my house that ended up causing water damage to my living area. They were able to tear down the back porch that was beyond repair from sitting unrepaired. They contained the damaged and molded area while work was in progress for the health and safety of my son and I, which I am beyond thankful for!! Removed the mold and water damaged material with ease. They reframed the interior and exterior living room wall and door with the highest quality of workmanship. I will use them for all my home needs and recommend you do too! You won't be disappointed. Darren, Brent, Todd and Josok are all a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything! Victoria"

We take pride in resolving a variety of wildlife nuisance you may encounter, whether it is removing bats in your attic or raccoons in your garbage can. As certified and college educated technicians, we not only guarantee to solve your problems, but also help you to understand the biology behind the issue.

"If you have wildlife moving in on you, Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions is definitely the one to call. They are knowledgeable, capable, courteous, and reliable. When a mother raccoon moved into our attic crawl space with her new pups, I was ridden with anxiety. The first company we called said they could do the job, but when they finally arrived they had no good strategies. Fortunately, we next called Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions. From the moment he arrived, Neil assured us he could resolve the problem, and he did. He also installed extra strong raccoon proof screening over our attic vents and chimney flues, which was part of the initial estimate. Neil arrived every day according to schedule, and was always friendly, courteous, and reassuring. I recommend Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions without reservation. You will get everything you are paying for, which is compassionate professional service."

Family owned and operated company with over 15 years in the trade. I was personally trained year-round in South Carolina by a master chimney sweep that had over twenty eight years of experience in the business. Don't get burned by your chimney!!! Trust a TRAINED professional, not some fly by night that claims to be a chimney sweep. Did you know that a chimney without a flue cap gets the same amount of rain inside the smoke chamber and smoke shelf area during a rain storm as a five gallon bucket would placed outside without a lid on it? This results in deteroated mortor joints, rusted out dampers, algerins, birds, and odors from mold & mildew. Adam J. Hanlon

"Everything went great. Adam was a great guy and worked around my schedule (weekends). He stopped by for an inspection and cleared me to burn wood the winter, no cleaning was needed. He penciled me in for the spring/summer and recommended an upgraded damper to cut down on drafts when not in use. He even looked at the rest of my venting for hot water heater and gas fireplace in the basement. Will use him again for sure."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, honey bees can sting, but they typically only do it when they feel their hive is threatened. When honey bees are away from their hive, they’re focused on foraging for pollen and nectar, making them unlikely to sting. Only female honey bees, called workers, have stingers, and they will die if they need to use them. Generally, if left undisturbed, honey bees will leave you alone.

Some species of bees (not to mention hornets) are aggressive and dangerous to have in your walls. If they swarm in anger or defense, they could badly hurt people in your home. Other species of bees are largely harmless and many people live in close proximity to them.

Either way, bees making hives in your walls usually causes damage. It can contribute to moisture problems, and attract other pests. Those problems get even worse if honeycombs build up. So we strongly suggest you find a way to keep bees from taking up permanent residence.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

To choose a reliable and reputable bee removal specialist, you could start by searching Angi’s database of bee removal specialists. Also, look into local organizations and beekeepers associations.

No, ground bees are not detrimental to the health of your lawn. In fact, the small holes created by ground bees can actually offer beneficial aeration which moisturizes and nourishes the ground. Additionally, ground bees are highly regarded as vital pollinators, meaning they help plants to reproduce. Unless you’re battling a severe infestation, leaving ground bees undisturbed can boost the health of your yard and the environment.
