Local Pest Pros Serving Hicksville Homes and Businesses

If you’re a Hicksville homeowner dealing with ants in the kitchen, scratching in the walls, or pests showing up in your basement or garage, you’re not alone. EM Pest Control’s local team provides reliable, hassle-free pest control in Hicksville, NY, tailored to the way homes are actually built and lived in here—older foundations, attached garages, tight lots, and busy family schedules. We focus on finding how pests are getting in, solving the problem quickly, and helping you keep them from coming back, especially when it comes to recurring rodent and roach issues.

Why Are Pests So Common in Hicksville?

Hicksville’s layout and housing stock make it easy for pests to settle in if they’re not actively managed. Many neighborhoods have:

  • Older homes and foundations with settling, hairline cracks, and gaps around utility lines that become entry points into basements, crawl spaces, and lower levels.
  • Attached garages and close lot lines that give rodents and insects a sheltered path from the street or yard right up to the house—and then into kitchen, laundry, or storage areas.
  • Seasonal weather that pushes rodents inside during colder months and drives ants and other insects toward cooler, moisture-rich spots in spring and summer.
  • Trees, shrubs, and plantings close to the home that provide cover for ants, spiders, and other insects before they make their way into siding, door thresholds, and window frames.
  • Everyday living—kids, pets, stored items in basements and garages, and food left out on counters—that can unintentionally provide food and nesting spots.

The good news: with a focused inspection that looks at how your specific home is set up, plus the right treatment and follow-up from us, you can get pest issues under control and keep them that way.

We treat the most common pests found in Hicksville homes and businesses, with rodent and cockroach issues being the most frequent. Each pest requires a different inspection and treatment approach, which is why our technicians focus on identifying entry points, nesting areas, and conditions that allow pests to return.

Why Choose Us for Pest Control in Hicksville, NY

  • We inspect beyond the obvious areas, checking foundation lines, garage door seals, utility penetrations, attic access points, and basement storage—not just the room where you first saw the pest.

  • We explain what we’re doing and why, walking you through what we found, how we’ll treat it, and what you can expect over the next few weeks.

  • We focus on reducing repeat calls, combining treatment with simple, realistic recommendations you can actually follow (like sealing specific gaps or adjusting storage) to help prevent pests from coming back.

  • Family- and pet-conscious treatments are selected and applied with safety in mind, with clear guidance on any short-term precautions.

  • Straightforward pricing and service options, so you know what’s included in a one-time service and when an ongoing plan makes more sense for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most initial visits take about 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of your home, how many areas we’re inspecting (for example, basement, garage, attic, and main living spaces), and the extent of the infestation. Follow-up visits are usually shorter because the groundwork has already been done.

Yes. We use professional products and application methods designed for residential use. In some cases, we’ll ask you to keep children and pets away from treated areas until materials have dried or settled—typically an hour. Your technician will explain any specific steps for your home before treatment begins.

No. We do not require long-term contracts. Our service is based on results, not rigid commitments. If pests return between scheduled visits, we return at no additional cost.

It depends on the situation. If the issue is small and contained, a single visit may be all that’s needed. That said, many Hicksville homes—especially those with older basements, attached garages, or repeat rodent or roach activity—benefit from ongoing service. Ongoing service allows us to keep an eye on entry points, adjust treatments with the seasons, and catch new activity early instead of waiting until it becomes a bigger problem.

For most standard interior and exterior treatments, you can stay home while we work. In certain situations—such as more intensive treatments or specific health concerns—we may recommend stepping out for a short period. If that’s the case, we’ll go over it with you ahead of time so there are no surprises.

Service frequency depends on the type of property and the level of pest activity:

  • Homes: Most residential properties are serviced on a monthly or quarterly schedule, depending on pest pressure, seasonal activity, and prevention needs.

  • Businesses: Commercial service schedules vary more widely. Some businesses require weekly or bi-weekly visits, while others are serviced monthly, depending on the industry, regulations, and level of activity.

After inspection, we recommend a service schedule based on your specific property—not a one-size-fits-all plan.
