I found Private Exterminating from a referral from my uncle. He used them for a job in one of their condominium buildings. I called them up and left a voicemail and was able to schedule an inspection date fairly quickly and easily. Inspection happened and we found out we have a termite problem in our sunroom. Luckily it looks contained in that room and didnt make it into the actual home. The inspection cost was $150 and that goes back into the total cost of the job if we choose to go with them, which we did. Tomas and Eddie came back to work on the job. They are both really nice guys and knowledgeable. Due to the snow storms, I had to reschedule to 12/26 the day after Christmas. The total job was roughly $1600 which they base off of the size of the home and scale of the job. I think it's a little expensive but with some research I did online, it's competitive to other rates Ive seen. They offered consultation of what the issue was and possible causes for the termites as well as the treatment which included drilling holes outside the home into the ground. The holes were about 3 ft deep and spaced about 3 feet apart from each other. In the holes they filled in the chemicals to kill and block out termites. They also sprayed the sunroom down with the same chemicals. I would've preferred if they ripped down the floors and walls to see how bad the situation was or how far the termites got. They seem confident that it was minimal and only on one side of the room though. The work was done in about 3.5 hours and they did the front and back of the house. They also did my neighbors house at the same time. They wanted to do it as prevention. Overall, pretty satisfied with these guys. Ive worked with other pest control or exterminators before and these guys were the most responsive and friendly out of every one. I cant be sure that the treatment works yet, but they provide some warranty period and I can call them back in case I see termites again in the summer. Highly recommend giving these guys a call. They do all sorts of jobs and service all boroughs of NY. Tell them Dan F sent you and maybe they'll give you a good price? Maybe not, but it wouldn't hurt. Good luck with your search. read more

I reached out to Private Exterminating after reading a few reviews and they did not disappoint. We had a yellow jacket bee situation in our attic and Eddie the owner was quick to reply and show up within a few hours to take care of the situation. He was very thorough and asked a lot of questions in order to get to the root cause of the problem. What I respected most was his knowledge and experience dealing with with my issue and his ability to offer a few solutions without forcing me to hire him. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to hire an experienced, thoughtful and skilled exterminator who is trustworthy and will walk you through the process of dealing with your situation before he does any work. read more

Moved into an apartment with a flea problem in October. Had, multiple local exterminators in here as well as larger companies such as Orkin (do not recommend) and Finally, after 5 MONTHS. Eddie was willing to actually put in the work to figure out and solve the problem. I had an opossum living under my floor and bringing up thousands of fleas. Everyone else just sprayed their little sprays and took my money. Eddie really GOT IN HERE and actually looked around, tore holes and removed the nest in my ceiling. Truly an awful experience but i'm so grateful for this company and people like eddie, who do a job correctly and put their customers first. FLEA FREE because of eddie. Do not waste your time hiring anyone else in the ridgewood area and beyond. read more

Good instinct that only professional will have. I recommend!! read more

Eddie was awsome as a pest control exterminator. He listened to all of my concerns then investigated and found what my issues were and then found that my issue was coming from my neighbors home which he then took the time to explain to my neighbor that the issues were coming from his home and needed to be corrected immediately or would become worse for both homes.. Eddie then installed bate for both homes and took pictures for proof of what he found. He guarantees his work and was very professional and I would recommend him to anyone that has issues with pest control or needs to remove rodents. read more

I highly recommend private exterminating by Eddie. We had squirrels in our attic. We first thought it was squirrels or rats but we figured out based on evidence it was in fact squirrels. He did an excellent job. He explained the job, the costs and timeline so my family would understand and be comfortable. He answered all our questions as many times as we asked, took pictures to show us everything and always respected our property. He respected our decision about how we wanted to proceed. He always called or texted us whenever we needed him. I gladly recommend him to my family and friends. read more

Excellent professional company that really cares about doing the right job super professional and great customer service

Eddie is amazing! He replied to my call within a half-hour, and was able to get to our house in Oceanside that same afternoon. A large bird was building a nest deep inside a vent outside our home. He knew just what to do, had all the equipment he needed, advised us on what he thought should be done, gave us a cost-saving option, and got to it. He's pleasant, prompt, thoroughly professional and we're telling all our friends that if they ever have the need, make their first call to Eddie. Thanks, Eddie for getting the job done!! read more

Requested a quote through Eddie and he arrived within the day to asses and treat my five story brownstone for mice. He knew the signs of their movement patterns and explained everything to me in laymen terms and with courtesy. He also checked other areas that I hadn't thought of to ensure that he was treating everything and continued to show me proof of their entry. He treated the floors quickly and I haven't seen any sign of them since his treatment. Couldn't have asked for a better and more knowledgable professional. read more

We had an issue in the middle of the night - at 4am! - and Tomas came right away! He was thorough and professional and left us feeling at ease in our apartment. We committed to a 90-day program, so Tomas visited us again to ensure our problems were solved for the future. Highly recommend this company for any of your exterminator-related needs!! read more

Eddie at Private Exterminating was great - Quick communication, Informed me of his process, Competitive pricing, Punctual, fast work turn around. Would certainly work with him again. read more

We'd sporadically spotted mice in the house over time, but suddenly they were a constant presence, with several sightings each day! We couldn't have bread anywhere, rice would get eaten, and it was unbearably disgusting! Enter Eddie, who came in and gave a thorough explanation of the powder, what he would do, how mice act, and how they would die. He did this on site and on the phone, so I felt informed and prepared for the treatment. He did an excellent job! Everything went as planned, and we only needed a 2nd visit b/c our neighbors did not get treated. He is competent, confident and deliberate in his methods. I cannot be more effusive in my praises, if you need help, call today! read more

Update 10/15/2019: Eddie got back to me. I was told that sometimes the day is pretty brutal and that the expectation is to try to reach him a few times. If he's underground, there might be no signal. I did that and I got through. I had to call him back using the insurance I purchased because I had a residual problem with mice inside the ceiling. I would say that this is probably an atypical case, still. I had to cut a hole for his staff to return and do their extermination magic. I trust the associate's judgement not to go 'nuclear' with the tracking powder. We'll see how this goes. While here for the visit, the associate was very prudent to bait for roaches again. Good move! read more

Really happy with service. Tech Thomas knew just what to do for the rodent problem under my garage's concrete slab. Could not have asked for a more professional and friendly service. I've stopped worrying about an "invasion". Conrad read more

Very frustrating after dealing with this company I will not recommend these guys at all they don't even get back to me I don't understand what it is these days with these pest control companies read more

I purchased a property 2 months ago & I noticed roaches in the kitchen shortly after. Private Exterminating was a delight to do business with; from the prompt communication & quote & Gustavo was extremely accommodating when I explained my situation. I purchased the insurance (which guarantees you a service every two weeks for 3 months so the roaches can completely disappear) and I've already been serviced twice; once by Ruben & the second time Gustavo himself. read more

Upon discovering mice in my store I went on Yelp to search for an exterminator and found Private Exterminating. I called and within half an hour Eddie was at my store fixing the problem. He went above & beyond and will definitely be recommending him. read more

We're first time house owner and we ran into the unimaginable squirrel problem. We don't have attic but we do have some space between on ceiling and the roof and appearing some squirrel move in though a hole and call it their home. Call up Eddie and told him what happen. He came and patch up some holes and set up a one way door for us to get rid of the squirrel. He was so professional and explained everything to us clearly. It did take some time for the squirrel to go out but our problem was solved eventually. He even follows up and make sure everything is good. I highly recommended his service. read more

Eddie! What an amazing, incredible exterminator and person! I had a squirrel in my house and called Eddie very anxious and concerned. The squirrel had not only gotten under my roof and into my house, but was spotted running on the rafters of my basement. It had been stuck in my house for over a week, and I was very concerned that it had had babies in the house, and either the squirrel and/or the babies were going to die in the house and attract bigger problems such as bugs, etc. In comes Eddie on his proverbial chariot, a knight in exterminating shiny armor. I called 15+ exterminators to discuss my problem and possible solutions, as well as to get a quote. Eddie was the fairest quote, the most knowledgeable about the newest methods of trapping and handling the problem, and quickest response time. Also, he was the most humane - speaking at length about the simple efforts we could undertake to try to save the squirrel's life, but ensure that we got it out of my house at the best cost and most effectively (and alive!). I hired Gus. He showed up the same day, punctually for the appointment we scheduled. He immediately surveyed the entire house, both outside and inside. He spotted signs of the squirrel's activity that I had not noticed in several days of trying to follow the squirrel. He then explained everything to me, and what he thought the best measures would be to try to lay the trap, set up the secondary traps, and set the best possible course of action. It all made perfect sense to me, and was explained in laymen's terms for me to understand WHY he was taking each specific tactic. Further, Gus knew I had a dog and in his preventative steps of surveying my entire basement he found hidden rat poison from the prior owners who sold the house to me. Because he was concerned for the well-being of my beloved dog, he went out of his way to gather all the rat poison packets as well as scoop up the torn rat packet the squirrel had nibbled, and dog-proof my basement to protect my dog. Amazing!! Gus laid an amazing trap, with peanuts and all kinds of little tricks to bolster his efforts. In the end, I came downstairs the next morning to check and, lo and behold, master exterminator, trapper, gentleman Mister Eddie had managed to catch the squirrel!! I called Eddie to let him know, and he was at my house in a couple of hours to pick up the trap, set the squirrel free, and clean up all the areas he laid the traps. Eddie even called me the next day, and again the next week to see if I had heard any squirrel babies or any other similar noises in the walls again or had seen any other signs of further squirrel life in the house. Thankfully I hadn't, and (fingers crossed) still haven't, and it is ALL BECAUSE OF EDDY AND HOW AMAZING HE WAS. I never leave reviews, but felt I needed to because Eddie went WAY above and beyond to complete the job, take really good care of me and my family, and I cannot recommend his services any more highly. If you ever need an exterminator for any reason - CALL EDDIE!!! read more

He is patient. He understands that I have a phobia and works with me . Problematic pest problem . He tries his best .

I chose this business because of the glowing reviews I read concerning Eddie and how well he handled other similar rodent problems. Initially, he was very responsive and called back immediately to set up an appointment. He came the same day which I was super impressed by and put down powder promising to return in a week to plug up holes. Though I wanted the holes plugged up immediately, he insisted this was the best method as the mice would poison its "friends" with the powder. A week later, getting in contact with Eddie was not as easy as the first time and though he promised he would return to plug up the holes, Someone else showed up in his place (which is fine but wasn't communicated to me). The man plugged up the holes and all was well for exactly two week, then the mice returned. I purchased the 90 plan, and though getting back in contact with Eddie initially was difficult (he happened to be on vacation), once I got in contact with him he came back to look for more holes. He could not find any and told me if the problem persisted, he would rerun with rat poison and expanding foam to address small cracks. The problem persisted and he followed through with a third visit. Though I wish he would have done the foam and poison on the second visit, he was thorough nonetheless and even offered to come back out and try something else if there is another sighting. Fingers crossed this times the charm! read more

Searched on yelp find this company for carpenter bee. Called them, leave message they call me back within an hour. They came to my house on the same day. I like their service, they make you feel like your concern is priority. They are very detail tell you what to watch out for. For example make sure you sweep dead bee off the floor before bird eat it and get poison in the morning and etc. price is reasonable. This company definitely is a keeper in my book for home maintenance read more

Gave Eddie a call based on his outstanding reviews and he didn't disappoint. We heard noises in the attic and explained what was going on. He is extremely knowlegable about all types of pest control issues. Eddie figured out where the animals were entrering from and took care of the problem.I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get rid of any pest that they have in their home or business. read more

My tenants were having an issue with mice, and though we had another exterminator come in and do a treatment, the problem persisted. I called Eddie, he was professional and explained over the phone exactly what he was going to do. He arrived at the property on time with his gear and diagnosed my problem within two minutes. He showed me and my tenants exactly what was up, and we could see it once he pointed it out. He put down the poison, and then came back two weeks later and plugged up all the holes in two apartments, even installing some moulding he had me buy to block the rodents' access. He knows what he's doing. I would recommend him. I hope I won't need him for a while, but I would call him again. read more

I can't say enough about Eddie and his professionalism and expertise. He came to the rescue to help with a mouse issue the same day I called. He explained treatment options in detail and took time to inspect the entire house to see where the problem was stemming from. In addition, ensured that home be rid of water bugs and offered pointers on what to do to ensure house stays pet free. In his follow up visit, any access pests could have were covered and we discussed a future plan on what to do to make sure Home is safe. Highly recommend Eddie and Private Extermination, exceeded expectations!!! read more

Without a doubt Eddie knows his business. With years of experience I got an education from Eddie about the issue I faced in my basement and the best response to it.

Eddie is the man!!!! Quick and ready to go handle his business. And price very reasonable nothing but praises thank you eddie

I went to college in the Ozone Park area and when I lived there we had a terrible cockroach problem in our sorority house. As you can imagine, we were mortified to host parties when we didn't know if a little critter would stick its head out while we were hosting. Mr. Salazar came by and the issue was taken care of with very few treatments. His price was fair and he was always on time. Now we're not afraid to have the boys come by! Thank you Eddie for your help--you've been a lifesaver. read more

A company that knows what their doing!!! two companies later I called private exterminating and they took care of my problems, thank you for your great services I will be calling you again. read more

Called private Exterminating at night after noticing a bird chirping in my attic. He arranged to come over the next day and showed up on time. The problem was actually a huge nest in my neighbors roof that may have been the problem. The problem was quickly identified and this huge nest was removed all while the exterminator explained and informed of correct remediation steps. He did not rush through the job and secured the location so that no future nest are ever setup. Would recommend them without hesitation. read more

Really good exterminator, could not think of anything he could have done better. Eddie explained everything and put me at ease about my ant issue. Will definitely use this service again. read more
