Syracuse has a long list of pest control companies, and most of them have strong online ratings, which makes them hard to tell apart. To build this list, we checked each company’s Google Business Profile, its own website and its service area, then compared them on the things that matter when you are about to let someone treat your home: customer ratings, how long the business has operated, which pests it handles, and whether it publishes a plan, a price or a written guarantee.
Every rating, review count, address and phone number below was checked on 14 October 2026. Ratings change often, so confirm the current figures before you book.

How we ranked these companies
We started from the pest control companies that appear for Syracuse searches on Google and in local directories, then kept only businesses that serve Syracuse and have a working website and Google Business Profile. Each company was then compared on four things:
- Customer ratings and review volume. A 4.9 rating from thousands of reviews tells you more than a 5.0 from a few dozen, so we looked at both numbers together.
- Track record. The year the company says it started serving the area, where it publishes one.
- Range of services. Whether it handles the pests Syracuse homes actually deal with: mice and rats, ants, stinging insects, bed bugs, termites, ticks and wildlife such as squirrels and bats.
- Transparency. Whether the company publishes a service plan, a guarantee, a free estimate offer or other terms a customer can hold it to.
We did not hire these companies or test their treatments ourselves. The list is based on public information that you can check, and each profile below tells you where the facts came from.
Check this before you hire anyone in New York
In New York State, any business that offers or applies pesticides must register every year with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). It must employ at least one certified commercial pesticide applicator or technician at each registered location, and carry liability insurance of at least $300,000 per person and $1,000,000 per incident for bodily injury, plus $300,000 for property damage (6 NYCRR Section 325.23).
Before you book, ask any company on this list (or off it) for three things:
- Its DEC pesticide business registration number
- Whether the technician coming to your home is DEC-certified
- A copy of its insurance certificate if the job is large, such as termite or wildlife work

How much does pest control cost in Syracuse?
Three Syracuse companies on this list publish prices, which gives a real local benchmark:
| Company | Published price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pestmaster of Syracuse | $39 to $59 per visit | Recurring monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly plan |
| Pestmaster of Syracuse | $99 to $150 | One-time general pest visit |
| Town & Country Pest Solutions | From $599 | Everything Package, 12 months, 45+ pests |
| Town & Country Pest Solutions | From $399 | Ant Program |
| Town & Country Pest Solutions | From $349 | Stinging Insect Program |
| Town & Country Pest Solutions | From $499 per pest | Rodent Program |
| EnviroPest | $389 | Enviro365 exterior program, 14 pest types, every 4 to 6 weeks |
For other services, general 2026 averages published by HomeGuide are a useful guide: mouse or rat removal usually costs $150 to $600, wildlife removal $200 to $600, termite treatment $225 to $2,500, and bed bug heat treatment $1 to $3 per square foot.
Prices depend on the pest, how far the problem has spread, the size of the home, and whether you choose one visit or a plan. Exclusion work, where gaps are sealed so rodents cannot return, is usually quoted separately.
Common pests in Syracuse through the year
| Season | Pests to watch for | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Carpenter ants, other ants, termites swarming | Check wood near the foundation and around windows |
| Summer | Wasps, hornets, carpenter bees, mosquitoes, ticks | Treat nests early; keep grass short near the house |
| Fall | Mice, boxelder bugs, stink bugs, cluster flies | Seal gaps before the first snow |
| Winter | Mice and rats indoors, bed bugs | Watch for droppings and gnawing; inspect after travel |
Long, snowy Central New York winters push mice indoors, which is why so many Syracuse companies sell year-round or guaranteed mouse programs. Boxelder bugs and stink bugs are also common fall invaders, and several companies above offer fall “home invader” treatments.
How to choose the right company
Ask these questions before you agree to any treatment:
- What is your DEC pesticide business registration number, and is my technician certified?
- What products will you use, and how long should children and pets stay off treated areas?
- Is there a contract, and what is the cancellation notice period?
- What exactly does your guarantee cover, and is it in writing?
- Is exclusion work (sealing entry points) included, or priced separately?
- How quickly can you return if the pests come back between visits?
Get the answers in writing, and compare at least two quotes for the same scope of work.
