Getting pest control in Buffalo

Buffalo ranks on lists of American cities with the most bedbugs and rats. But other pests are also well-known in New York’s second-largest city. These include carpenter ants, bees and wasps, termites, flies, mice and spiders.

Pests in Buffalo can be a year-round nuisance. During warmer months, the Niagara River and Lake Erie provide ideal breeding grounds for many types of insects like mosquitos. During Western New York’s winter, many pests, including rodents, move toward the warmth inside Buffalo’s homes and businesses.

Many businesses advertise pest control services in Buffalo, but it’s important to avoid companies with red flags. A reputable pest control company should meet the following qualifications:

• Be certified with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which can be verified
• Be insured in case an accident occurs during the performing of work
• Be affiliated with a professional association that shares the latest in best practices
• Use pesticides that are safe for your home, family members and any pets
• Provide a free initial visit to recommend a pest control approach and quote a price

How much does pest control in Buffalo cost?

Based on a visit to your home or business, pest control companies in Buffalo will recommend either a single treatment or a plan for regular visits. In addition to the frequency of treatments, the cost of pest control will depend on the type of pest and the extent of the infestation.

The average cost of a single treatment in Buffalo is around $200, but it can be considerably higher —upward of $1,000, even — to clear out termites.

A continual treatment plan (often divided into quarterly visits, with one per season) costs between $400 and $1,000 per year. A single treatment can be appropriate in some cases, but regular maintenance is often a better value and is considered more proactive.

Whether you choose a single treatment or a preventive maintenance game plan, make sure the company guarantees its work. Clarify before service begins that if treatment fails, a technician will return at no charge and make every effort to rid your home or business of unwanted visitors.
