"John came out and explained everything to me. He also showed me where there was a hive near my shutters. He was thorough and very professional. He also spoke to me about maintenance/tick control since this is a problem throughout the Hudson valley with homeowners. Lastly he showed me the hive and informed me that in about 3 or 4 days tops there will be no more yellow jacket activity...well, the next day I checked and nothing! I checked the day after that and nothing! It's been one week and not one yellow jacket in sight. Thank you so much John. I can finally open my front door without any worry."
"The tech came out to do an inspection for any mosquito problem we had on our patio. They were on time, efficient and very knowledgeable. They took care of the problem with ease and were able to answer all the questions we asked. We are very pleased with the result. I highly recommend Organic Pest Control for using their service when needed."
"The salesman recommended two exterior treatments to get rid of the hornets/wasps. The main nest was on top of the garage, two stories up, and we could hear them in the wall between two of our bedrooms. They scheduled us very quickly and we haven't seen any hornets/wasps inside since the first treatment about 10 days ago. The first treatment took about 30 minutes and the second, 6 days later, took about 10 minutes. The two reasons for the B rating, not A, are that the salesperson said they would warrant the work for a year, meaning until Dec 31 of the current calendar year (I asked for clarification), but the contract e-mailed to us specified 30 days. In addition, the person doing the second treatment didn't have a ladder, and was using some spray thing to shoot liquid up. It seems unlikely that the main nest actually got hit a second time, since it was on top of a two-story roof. We were also hoping they could either block the hole that was allowing insects into the house or at least tell us what work might need to be done so we could hire someone else to do that, but since the 2nd person didn't have a ladder, that didn't happen either. Also the 2nd person said he couldn't understand the notes the first one left, which seemed odd. Overall, the immediate issue was satisfactorily resolved, however."
"Prompt and professional, knowledgeable and good price for the value of workmanship provided. Saved me lots of money that I almost paid another pest control company for work that was not necessary. Thank you Critterex!"
"Technician was thorough and informative and made sure to let me know what he found and what to expect. Time will tell if I continue to have pests but my initial visit was great! I like also they don’t try to push you into ongoing services; just a “let’s see how it’s going in a couple months and you decide if you need us back.”"

Roof rats are relatively small rodents that typically measure around six to eight inches in length (excluding their long, scaly tails that are often longer than their bodies). They have sleek black or brown fur, pointed snouts, and large ears. In general, they are typically smaller and darker in color than common brown rats.
Though it might look like the same wasps keep returning to your home year after year, most wasps do not return to the same nesting site. Instead, it’s far more likely that your home is attractive to wasps, encouraging different wasps to nest there come nesting season. Consider taking steps to prevent wasps to prevent a new group from coming next year.
Attempting to kill a black widow spider can pose a significant health risk. When these arachnids feel threatened, they are more likely to attack, increasing your chances of getting bit. It's better to trap the spider and release it from a location far away from your residence.
Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.
It’s very rare that home insurance covers an exterminator. Pest problems aren’t covered under standard home insurance. They’re typically considered ongoing events that could have been prevented, which makes them ineligible. Some insurance companies will specifically ban termite and rodent services because costs can be high. However, a sudden and unstoppable infestation, especially one that resulted because of a sudden event like storm, may be covered. Call your insurance company and ask about the details if you aren’t sure.
