Free Pest Estimate — Long Island, Westchester & The Bronx

How Our Free Phone Assessment Works

When you call The Bugs Stop Here, we ask about the pest activity you're seeing, where it's happening, and the history of the problem. We explain which service fits your situation and give you a clear price before any work begins. There's no obligation to proceed. Our technicians inspect the property as part of the booked service visit.

What Our Technicians Check Inside

During the service visit, our technicians check all interior areas where pest activity is common: kitchen and bathroom cabinets (especially under sinks), basement and crawl space, attic, utility rooms, and any areas where you have observed activity. We look for live insects and rodents, evidence of past activity (droppings, shed skins, frass, gnaw marks), moisture conditions that attract pests, and harborage areas.

What Our Technicians Check Outside

The exterior inspection during the service visit covers the foundation perimeter, soffit and fascia, roof line, utility penetrations, window and door frames, attached structures (decks, garages), and landscaping adjacent to the structure. Many infestations originate at exterior entry points — finding them is the first step to addressing the source of the problem.

When to Call

• Before Buying or Selling a Home: A paid WDI (wood-destroying insect) inspection provides a written WDI report documenting the current pest status and identifying conducive conditions that could affect property value. This is the only written report we produce and is designed for real-estate transactions.
• After Spotting Signs: Droppings, gnaw marks, live insects, damaged wood, mud tubes near the foundation — any of these warrant an immediate call. We'll provide a free phone assessment and a clear price before any work begins.
• Seasonal Service: Spring service identifies termite activity and ant colonies before they establish. Fall service finds rodent entry points before winter. Call for a free phone quote and schedule your visit.
• New Property: Moving into a home without knowing its pest history? A paid WDI inspection provides a written baseline report, or schedule a first service visit to have our technicians inspect and treat the property.

What You Get — and Which Inspections Are Paid

The free phone assessment gives you a clear price before any work begins, with no obligation to proceed. For bed bugs, we offer a paid on-site inspection; our technicians explain findings on site, and no written report is issued. For real-estate transactions, we offer a paid WDI inspection that produces a written WDI report — the only written report we issue. Commercial properties receive a free on-site inspection. If we find no evidence of pest activity during a service visit, we will tell you that. We do not create problems that do not exist in order to sell treatments.
