"I called once and was told that a technician would be in touch with me and I didn't get a call back. So I called again and was assured someone would return my call. Although they were really busy, they did say they would call the next week and arrange to come out. I got a call when the tech was in the area asking if he could stop in and look at the bees, and luckily my husband had taken the day off to show him the issue. One treatment and I haven't seen a single carpenter bee since. The price was what I expected to pay, and is far less than what the damage to the house would end up costing us. I would absolutely use them again, but maybe not in a time-sensitive situation."

"I had what wound up being a big project, a house built in 1955 on 4 acres with a cinder block foundation and roof ridgeline with many entry points. I called on a Saturday and left a message and one of the principals of the company called me on Sunday to ask me about the problem and make an appointment for one of their people to visit and assess the situation. He came (on time) two days later and spent over an hour crawling over every square inch of the house to see the extent of our infestation and made a recommendation. I called around to a few of the nationally recognized pest control businesses and all they wanted was a credit card number to come out for a visit and put us on a monthly program of traps and visitation that I figured would go on for a lifetime. We hired VerminX. They took three days to complete the work. They had 4-5 people on the job, all courteous and knowledgeable. They taped off the work area 100% and when they left there was no dust anywhere outside the work area. They've been back two times already to check on the traps they left behind and to assure that no more critters were able to get in. If you call and leave a message, they're back to you within no more than an hour or so, even on weekends. I'd highly recommend these folks."

"This was an emergency and it was treated like one by Langdon and his team of workers. These gentleman arrived within minutes, after quickly returning my call. My family and I were up all night with a bat flying around and we were very frightened and panicked. (We had never experienced this before.) Paul and Matt arrived and they were quick to remedy the problem! I was very impressed and we were SO relieved!! They explained the type of bat that this was and their behavior during this time of the year. They checked the whole perimeter of the house (inside & out) and pointed out areas of potential problems if not treated/sealed. They were NOT pushy or trying to sell anything. Just being very informative and they answered all of our questions. TOP NOTCH GENTLEMEN! ** LANGDON, PAUL and MATT ** - THANK YOU !!!!!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Pest control in Ithaca typically starts with a 1-2 hour inspection, but treatment times vary by pest type and home age. Older or historic homes often require extra attention due to hidden entry points and layered construction. Most pest treatments need 2-3 follow-up visits over 30-60 days, especially for recurring issues like rodents or stink bugs common in NY’s changing seasons.

Helpful?

For Ithaca homes, begin spring by checking basements and crawl spaces for moisture and termite activity. In summer, inspect attic vents and window screens for gaps, and monitor for wasp nests. Late summer is ideal for addressing ant trails and outdoor debris. In fall, seal foundation cracks and attic openings to block rodents. Winter calls for monitoring storage areas and keeping basements dry to deter pests.

Helpful?

In Ithaca, if you notice frass (fine sawdust), mud tubes along basement walls, gnawed wiring, or clusters of insects like carpenter ants, pest control is likely needed. If you see sagging floors, peeling paint, or water stains without pest traces, structural repairs may be required. Because many older Ithaca homes experience overlapping issues, a professional inspection can pinpoint the right solution.

Helpful?

Combining pest control with upgrades like foundation sealing, attic insulation, or gutter repairs is especially effective in Ithaca’s older homes. Coordinating these projects in spring or fall minimizes disruption and addresses both pest entry points and energy loss. Many NY contractors offer bundled services, and tackling multiple improvements together helps prevent future infestations while improving your home’s comfort and efficiency.

Helpful?

Ithaca’s humid summers and snowy winters create ideal conditions for pests like termites, rodents, and stink bugs. Moisture from lake-effect weather increases the risk of wood-destroying insects and mold, while freeze-thaw cycles open new gaps for entry. Homeowners should prioritize moisture control, regular sealing, and rodent prevention, especially after heavy rain or snow, to reduce pest problems unique to Ithaca’s climate.
