Pest Control in New York

“Ace Bedbug Exterminating was by far and away the easiest bed bug exterminator to deal with and most reasonable price I got when my bed bug issue cropped up about a year ago.

It was a Sunday night when I felt something crawling on my leg while sitting on my couch, and I grabbed at my leg. When I opened my hand it revealed something that looked like a bed bug, and indeed it was.

While our infestation was minimal (we saw 2 bedbugs in 2 weeks of visually monitoring and a canine inspection confirmed it was only in 2 rooms), the estimates I was getting to resolve the issue in my 3 bedroom home were astronomical. A competitor quoted me $6,000+ for a heat treatment which carried no guarantee on it. And the reality of it is, all you need are a few eggs to survive the heat, and you have to start the removal process all over again. Additionally, they suggested a separate treatment with vikane gas, which as it turns out, can be harmful to people if used to treat older furniture. I think that would have been an extra $2K between the gas a truck rental or so. And then we also would have had to remove personal items from the bedrooms, etc. The competitor was happy to refer me to a mover to get the items out of the room. I think that estimate was another $1600 or so.

When I called Luis at Ace, he was able to give me a ballpark estimate over the phone and confirmed it with a free-estimate in-person. It was less than half the price of the $6K estimate from the competitor... But the Ace service included a guarantee. Another one of Ace's competitors wanted to charge me something like $150 for an in-person estimate. Horrible.

Ace uses the Aprehend bed bug treatment, which is basically an amazing science-based bio-weapon that is only harmful to the bugs. The bed bugs crawl through the invisible film left by the treatment, but it doesn't kill them instantly. Instead it clings to them, they bring it back to the nest, and it's there at the treatment spreads through the colony and begins breaking down the bed bugs' from the outside in.

Ace's competitor that quoted me $6K+ for the heat treatment also lost points because they bad-mouthed the Aprehend treatment when I asked them about it. They said it was oily, messy and would leave a residue and mess. Maybe that happens with amateur exterminators, but that was not my experience. After Luis left, I inspected everywhere he was supposed to spray and there was no visible trace of the Aprehend.

Suffice it to say it has been a year, and we have not seen a beg bug since.

In addition to treating my home, Luis treated my car with another product called CrossFire (the Aprehend would not have survived in the heat of the car).

Additionally at the time, my father was living with me and he was a chair-bound dementia patient, which would have made treating the house a major challenge if not for Luis' kindness. Luis came and treated the house on the first day, and we isolated my Dad in his room for about 3 hours. Then, the next day, Luis came back and treated my Dad's room at no extra charge. What can you say about someone like that, other than to know there are good people in the world who will go above and beyond in difficult circumstances.

The problem with bed bugs are the exterminators. Most of them are bottom feeders who are looking to sell and upsell you on expensive treatments that carry no promise of success. That's not the case, thanks to Ace's guarantee.

Dealing with bed bugs has been the one of the worst experiences of my life. But it's not the bugs. They're actually easy to get rid of and more of an inconvenience, as they are harmless and unlike, say mosquitoes, which actually carry and spread disease. But Luis was not only a great exterminator, but very kind in going above and beyond given my Dad's situation. Thanks Luis!“

“Great service!!! I called them and they had someone come and exterminate immediately!!! Have no had any issues since. They are great and really cater to the client. Thank you so much we really appreciate it!!!!“

“We just finished our second (and hopefully final) visit from EZ Pest. Obviously it's very stressful when you have unwanted pests; however, the EZ Pest crew has been helpful, assuring, and professional throughout. I initially called another company with a canine to do our inspection but I didnt have a great feeling about them and decided to reach out to EZ Pest based on their reviews for the extermination. I wasn't familiar with the low prep extermination method and I am honestly so grateful! It has saved us hours by not having to launder and bag all our belongings. I will update this review later once we are bed bug free for a few weeks but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend EZ Pest based on our experience so far.“

“Cockroaches in our living room were a major concern, but the pest control service's comprehensive cockroach control service resolved the issue. Our home is now roach-free.“

“Positive pest management has been communicative and knowledgeable. Glad I found them!“

“It’s the first time I have had to reach out for this type of service and I didn’t know what too expect. It was amazing how they are there to help you understand what’s happening and what needs to be done. They came fast and did what they needed to do. They will be back to do a follow up which gives me peace. I will recommend their service to anyone. Thank you Speedy!!!“

“I had a concern about bedbugs. I called and explained my situation. Jeff was extremely helpful and asked me why I thought I had bedbugs, which no other company had asked that simple question. He said based on my description, it wasn’t clear if I had bedbugs and to wait until Thursday if I had any other bites to decide and that it could’ve just been a random bug. Waiting until Thursday and nothing else occurred. I appreciate his practical advice, rather than urging me to do a $300+ inspection that might not have been necessary — which is what all the other companies were doing.

Hopefully I never need to use his services but for anyone currently looking I would definitely recommend!“

“Jonathan is great. He has serviced our Apt several times and is always top notch and very pleasant.“

“What a good person! Found a bug in my apartment; panicked. Calling them they immediately allowed me to text message a photo and video. Identified it very quickly. Calmed me, and told me what to do.Also, very funny business name.“

“I called Broadway Pest Services to help deal with a mouse problem at home that our super couldn't fix. Chris was super attentive on the phone and got me an appointment in a couple of days. Miguel, the senior technician, came and was AMAZING!!! He took his time, moving all of our appliances and filling the holes and laying out traps. Included in the price, he came back the next week to remove the dead mouse. Definitely 5 stars.“

“Yeah!! Shawn and his business partner got the job done with a mama raccoon with 5 babies out of our roof in a few days. They handle their business with a passion, communicate with clear expectations. Very prompt, swift and professional service. I will highly recommend their services“
