Pest Control Services
Residential and commercial pest control across Orange County and the Hudson Valley. Choose a service to see how we handle it.
General Pest Control
General pest control is an inspection-based service that finds where pests are living and getting in, treats those areas, and sets up prevention so they don't come back. UrbanXterminator provides it for homes and businesses across Orange County and the Hudson Valley.
Mice & Rat Control
Rodent control removes mice or rats that are already inside and identifies the gaps they use to get in. In Orange County, mouse calls climb sharply in October and November as outdoor temperatures drop and rodents look for warm shelter.
Ant Control
Ant control works by eliminating the colony, not just the ants you see on the counter. In the Hudson Valley the most common indoor ants are odorous house ants, pavement ants and carpenter ants — and each one needs a different approach.
Carpenter Ant Control
Carpenter ants are large black ants that hollow out wood to build nests. They don't eat wood like termites, but long-term colonies can weaken window frames, decks, sill plates and roof eaves. Wooded lots common around New Windsor and Cornwall see heavy carpenter ant pressure.
Cockroach Control
Cockroach control in the Hudson Valley is mostly about German cockroaches — small, light-brown roaches that live indoors near kitchens and bathrooms and multiply fast. Effective control uses baits, growth regulators and follow-up visits, not a single spray.
Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed on human blood at night and hide in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture and baseboards. They don't come from dirt — they hitchhike in luggage, used furniture and visitors' belongings — and they rarely go away without professional treatment.
Termite Inspection & Control
The termite found in the Hudson Valley is the eastern subterranean termite. It lives in the soil and travels into wood through mud tubes, often unseen for years. A termite inspection looks for those tubes, damaged wood and conditions that invite them.
Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Removal
Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets build nests under eaves, in decks, shrubs, wall voids and the ground. Their colonies grow all summer and are most aggressive in August and September. Professional removal treats the nest directly so the colony is eliminated, not just disturbed.
Carpenter Bee Control
Carpenter bees are large, shiny black bees that drill perfectly round half-inch holes into unpainted or weathered wood — decks, fascia boards, railings, sheds and log siding. They return to the same wood year after year, and the tunnels get longer each season.
Spider Control
Most spiders in Hudson Valley homes are harmless house spiders, cellar spiders and wolf spiders. A spider problem is usually a sign of another insect problem — spiders move in where there's food. Control means reducing both.
Mosquito & Tick Control
Mosquito and tick control is a seasonal yard treatment that reduces biting pests around the areas you use. Orange County has significant blacklegged (deer) tick activity, and yards that border woods, fields or stone walls are the highest risk.
Stink Bug Control
Brown marmorated stink bugs are shield-shaped insects that gather on sunny walls in September and October and squeeze into homes to spend the winter. They don't bite or damage the house, but they show up by the dozens on warm winter days and release a strong odor when crushed.
Spotted Lanternfly Control
The spotted lanternfly is an invasive planthopper that has spread into the Hudson Valley. It feeds on tree sap, leaves sticky honeydew that grows black mold on decks and cars, and lays egg masses on almost any outdoor surface. New York asks residents to report and destroy them.
