It’s Not Easy Being a NYC Exterminator Service

As a new NYC exterminator service back in 1971, we saw that the industry was solely focused on coming up with better poisons to kill bugs. The country had experimented with pesticides for decades, and the methods being used back then for extermination were basically chemical warfare against anything that crawled or crept into your home. Six legs, four legs, or a thousand legs, it didn’t matter. When an exterminator sprayed to get rid of something, they killed it, even if that meant leaving behind dangerous residue and toxic fumes. As the new guys on the block, we saw this and worked towards finding safer extermination methods from the day we opened.

Forty years later, we know that many of those chemicals did more harm than good. Times have changed. The pest control industry has evolved as more has been revealed about the chemicals that were once used for extermination. Toxicity levels have been examined and residual effects have been detected and measured. Safer compounds have been created and methods that don’t require pesticides at all are now available. We use them and our hope is that others in our industry will too.

A commitment to being environmentally friendly and safe is not an inexpensive undertaking for any company. A few years back, we invested in hybrid vehicles to do our part to cut down on emissions. We felt that it was an important step for a company that has been the exterminator New York has come to expect industry excellence and leadership from. In the forty years we’ve been in business, we’ve pioneered many programs that have been duplicated by our competitors. This is one that we sincerely hope everyone will follow suit in. Our city needs everyone to do their part.

From safer extermination techniques to renewable energy, Broadway Exterminators are willing to lead the way into a cleaner and safer future for all New Yorkers. We’ll get the pests out of your home, and we won’t have to harm your pets or leave you with fumes that could cause respiratory problems. There are two ways to do things in our business. Cheap and easy is one of them. The other is the right way. It means a lower profit margin for us, but a longer life span for our company. That’s why we’re still here forty years later and a lot of those other guys are gone.
