General Pest Control

Most Hudson Valley homes deal with a rotating mix of ants, spiders, wasps, mice, and occasional invaders throughout the year. A general pest control program prevents these problems before they escalate.

Identification

Our program covers 30+ common pests including ants, spiders, wasps, hornets, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, millipedes, stink bugs, boxelder bugs, cluster flies, and rodents.

Biology

Different pests peak in different seasons — carpenter ants and wasps in spring, mosquitoes and ticks in summer, rodents and stink bugs in fall, spiders and silverfish year-round indoors.

Behavior

Pests follow food, water, and shelter. Homes with landscaping close to the foundation, unsealed penetrations, and moisture issues are hit hardest.

Health Risks

Rodents spread hantavirus and salmonella; cockroaches and mice trigger asthma; stinging insects cause allergic reactions; ticks transmit Lyme disease.

Property Damage

Carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and rodents chew through wood, insulation, and wiring. Untreated infestations lead to structural repair costs.

Signs You Have a Problem

Sightings indoors
Droppings or shed wings
Nests, webbing, or mud tubes
Chewed food packaging or wiring
Musty odors

Our Inspection Process

Treatment Process

Quarterly or bi-monthly exterior perimeter treatment, targeted interior treatment as needed, rodent stations, cobweb removal, wasp nest removal, and seasonal preventive service.

Is pest control treatment safe around children and pets?

Safety precautions depend on the treatment, and children and pets may need to stay away from treated areas for a specified time. Tell your provider about children, pets, and any health concerns, and follow all preparation and reentry instructions. To discuss precautions before treatment, call Urbanxterminator at 845-522-6597.

What happens during a pest control visit to my home?

How can I tell whether I need bed bug elimination?

Live bed bugs, shed skins, and dark spots along mattress seams are stronger signs of bed bugs than bites alone. Avoid moving bedding or furniture into other rooms, which can spread an infestation. If you suspect bed bugs in your Orange County home, call Urbanxterminator at 845-522-6597 to discuss bed bug elimination.
