At Thomas Pest Services, our passion is to enhance the lives of those around us through relationship-based pest management. We provide many services including general pest control, rodent control, mosquito and tick control, termite services, and wildlife removal services to residential homes and commercial facilities throughout the Capital Region and Hudson Valley. All of our services are provided by highly trained technicians and an office staff eager to help you! The Thomas family’s roots in pest control are 3 generations deep, and that time in the community has taught us to care deeply for you, your home, family, property, and safety – as we like to say here, “We treat little things, like BIG things!” If you are looking for a team of pest control experts from a company that cares, you are in the right place. Interested? Contact our team today for your FREE inspection!"

"Don?t bother for yellow jackets or bees. Despite being ?professionals? they won?t remove trim or do anything to physically access and remove the nest, and will only treat the access point from the exterior. Could take 7-10 days to see improvement, maybe, despite being told 24-48 hours, and when you call back after no improvement it takes them another 3-4 days to schedule return visit. Save yourself the time and money and either do what they can do yourself, or call someone else who actually will remove and not just treat a nest. Not worth $30 let alone the $300 they charge. Amateurs as best."

Residential and light commercial inspection company. Inspections are thorough, most lasting 3 hours or more. Included in inspections are roof, exterior siding and foundation, interior, heating & cooling, electrical service, plumbing, attic and basement. Over 500+ items are inspected during the inspection. My clients are provided with an extremely thorough and independent home inspection followed by a detailed web based Inspection Report complete with photographs and important links. My inspection reports can be easily sent by email to interested parties such as Realtors, real estate attorneys, mortgage brokers, contractors or family members for review. Just like homes, not all inspectors are alike. Before hiring an inspector, talk to him/her, interview them, ask questions. How long have you been inspecting homes? How long will the inspection take? What kind of inspection report will I receive and when? These are just some of the questions that should be asked before hiring an inspector. Part of a home inspector’s job is to manage the expectations of their clients. This is especially true for first time home buyers or when my clients have never dealt with a home inspector before. Explaining the limitations of a home inspection to my clients will help them develop realistic expectations concerning what to expect from a home inspection report, and what lies beyond the scope of the inspection. Creating realistic expectations in my client’s mind will help prevent misunderstandings and promote smooth real estate transactions. My inspection area covers the entire Capital Region from Saratoga to Hudson and Amsterdam to the Massachusetts boarder. I am a NYS licensed and InterNACHI certified home inspector. I currently hold the office of Vice-President of the Capital Region Chapter of InterNACHI. For a thorough, independent and honest assessment of the property, please give me a call. View sample Residential Inspection Reports here: http://www.houseabouthome.com/sample-home-inspection-reports/

"Dave was on-site early and ready to go. He very thorough and explained what he was looking for and it’s importance. He generated detailed reports for the properties the next day. I’d highly recommend Dave to anyone needing a home inspection."

We have been providing the area since 1992 with new underground pet fences, and service for the Invisible Fence brand systems. We offer the best products, with superior training that we back with a money back guarantee. We have more options, smaller collars for the little dogs and cats, and bigger collars for the more stubborn dogs. We do new installations, as well as work on any brand of pet fencing, including the Invisible Fence brand. Many of our products are compatible with the other brands of pet fencing. We do not have pushy salesmen, and can fit almost any budget.

"I contacted this company almost 2 years ago. The “training” they provide is not training. It’s a piece of paper they give you to train your own dog. My dog is medium sized and he became very nervous and didn’t want to go out. I called several times and after they get your money they don’t care. The put the line in right after winter, but the ground was frozen in the back stil so they told me they would come back and dig when the ground was thawed. They never did. I had to call them and they acted like I was bothering. Then after I finally got my dog ok with going on with the collar he got out the yard a couple of times. I checked the collar and it wasn’t working. I reported this to them and they kept telling me make sure it’s charged. I finally recorded that it was fully charged and not working. He came out a week later and tried to tell me it was the collar and I showed him the video and he rocked the box and it was the box. Use another company please!"

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"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Sort of. Hornets are a subsection of wasps with some unique characteristics (along with yellowjackets and similar types of insects). Hornets are generally rare in the United States, with European and Asian hornets the two notable examples.

Hornets tend to be significantly larger than wasps, often larger than one inch. They are also typically white or brown striped instead of yellow like many wasps. They tend to be one of the more aggressive types of wasps, which when combined with their size makes them a priority for homeowners.

Proactive measures like sealing entry points and regular maintenance treatments help keep your home pest-free.

Yes, exterminators spray inside kitchen and other cabinets as part of a whole-home pest control treatment, especially when eradicating bugs that like to hide there, like roaches and ants. If you spot a pest infestation in your pantry or cabinets, be sure to show your pest control pro which areas have the most traffic.

Ant and termite infestations look very different. Since termites feed on wood, one of the warning signs of their presence is drooping drywall, peeling paint, loose floor tiles, and crumbling wood. On the other hand, ants feed on plant- and animal-based food options, so you’ll likely spot a colony near your home’s food sources. If you’re unsure what type of pest infestation you have, hire a pest control specialist to inspect for you.

Absolutely! Keeping up to date with regular flea treatments for pets, washing their bedding, and vacuuming regularly are all simple and inexpensive ways to help prevent a flea infestation from developing in the first place. 

Annual flea control treatments for your pet typically cost between $40 and $200. Talk to your vet about safe and effective options.

Keeping up with garden maintenance also helps make your yard less inviting for fleas. Mow your lawn regularly, don’t overwater, and avoid attracting rodents by carefully storing food waste, removing clutter, and sealing holes.
