How exterior pest control works
Pest packages
that pack a punch.
Treatment focuses on the foundation, doors, windows and eaves: the places pests commonly get into a home.
- In every level
- Better and Best
Spider webs at the windows
Better and Best treat around the windows and doors, where spiders set up.
- Better and Best
Wasps under the eaves
Nesting prevention for eaves, soffits and doorways. Eliminating an established wasp nest is a separate service call.
- In Best
The garage, the shed, the swing set
Best extends the treatment to detached structures and the things around your yard.
From our guides: Ants, Spiders and Wasps Around Your Home in Central New York and Stink Bugs, Boxelder Bugs and Other Fall Invaders in Central New York
Your home, protected
from the foundation up.
Exterior pest control works on the outside of your home, at the spots pests use to get in.
The foundation
Along the base of the house, 3 feet up and 3 feet out, where ants and other crawling insects travel. Every level starts here.
Doors and windows
Where spiders set up and insects get in. Better and Best treat around them.
Eaves and soffits
Up where bees and wasps like to nest. Better and Best treat them, with bee and wasp nesting prevention.
Fall
As the weather cools, an optional treatment for stink bugs, boxelder bugs, cluster flies and Asian lady beetles.
Good. Better. Best.
Start with the foundation.
Add the eaves, the garage, the shed.

Exterior pest questions
A little clarity before we start.
Helpful answers about exterior pest control and your estimate.
Do you treat inside the house?
No. Exterior pest control treats the outside of your home: the foundation, entry points, eaves, windows, doors and outside walls. Interior infestations aren't included.
Do you treat the eaves on a two-story home?
Yes. Our extension wands reach up into the upper eaves, soffits and gable peaks, as far as your home's height and layout allow.
Will you remove a wasp nest that's already there?
We don't physically remove nests. Exterior pest control is designed mainly to keep new wasp nests from starting, not to eliminate ones that are already there. A small wasp nest or wasp nesting activity in an area we're already treating may be treated during your regular application. If you have an established wasp nest you want eliminated, that's a separate service call, so let us know when you ask for your estimate. Existing bee nests aren't treated, and neither are carpenter bee holes, structural infestations or repairs.
What are fall invaders?
Stink bugs, boxelder bugs, cluster flies and Asian lady beetles, the insects that gather on sunny walls as the weather cools. The fall treatment is an optional extra: stink bugs and boxelder bugs, cluster flies and lady beetles, or all four.
Does exterior pest control cover mosquitoes and ticks?
No. Mosquito and tick control is its own seasonal program. Add it to the same estimate.
When can kids and pets go back outside?
We recommend keeping pets and children off the treated areas until the treatment has dried, usually about one to two hours depending on the weather.
How much does exterior pest control cost?
Your price is based mainly on the size of your property. Start with your address and we'll price all three for you.
