Pest Control That Respects Owego’s Historic Character
Owego’s National Historic District contains some of the region’s most beautiful — and most pest-vulnerable — homes. Pre-Civil War construction with timber framing, stone foundations, and original plaster requires a careful approach. We use targeted treatments that eliminate pests without damaging historic materials. Owego’s repeated flood exposure from the Susquehanna has also created persistent moisture conditions in many foundations, attracting termites, carpenter ants, and moisture pests. Our inspections account for Owego’s specific flood-zone risk factors.

Pest Control FAQ — Owego, NY
Can you treat my historic home without damaging it?
Yes. We specialize in treatments appropriate for older construction. We avoid drilling through historic materials when possible and use gel baits, crack-and-crevice treatments, and exterior barrier methods that are effective without being invasive.
Should I get a termite inspection before buying an Owego home?
Absolutely. Given Owego’s housing age and flood history, a termite and wood-destroying insect inspection is essential before any purchase. We provide detailed reports suitable for real estate transactions.
Why do I have stink bugs inside in winter?
Stink bugs entered your home in fall and are overwintering inside walls. When your heating system warms wall cavities, they become active and wander indoors. Sealing entry points in late summer prevents next year’s invasion.
