Pest Control, Animal Removal, Home inspection,

About us

Your home will be inspected & documented w/annotated phots provided to show what has made it in and how including but not limited to water in your basement, mice, bats, flying squirrels. In addition, This will help you understand what needs to be done to stop them from getting inside in the first place and then we can professionally seal it with non-chewable materials. We service lower Fairfield County, CT and parts of Westchester County, NY. Brian’s career in the pest control business began over 25 years ago. He spent three years in the southern United States learning from a world-renowned entomologist (among others) and helped start the Sentricon baiting program for termites with Dow Elanco. Brian advanced through the field to eventually run a major sales force and acquired a distinctive edge in the business. Through this experience, Brian realized he wanted to return to his home state of NY and create his own niche in the rodent control market. He developed a highly successful approach, rejecting the easy but environmentally unsound approach of poison – and instead relying on hard work, common sense, and the correct materials to prevent rodents from entering people’s homes in the first place. Fast forward a few years, and Brian began to realize there were additional niches in this area that needed to be more friendly towards the environment and the clients’ health. He therefore co-invented the Enviroboot® Dust Suppression System to help control the toxic silica dust that is produced when concrete is broken with a jackhammer. The result was a reduction in toxic dust greater than 97% according to the EPA and was awarded the 2006 US EPA CLEAN AIR EXCELLENCE AWARD. Brian M. Sweig has a special set of skills and licenses in NY and CT including Nuisance/Wildlife, Home Improvement, and Home Inspection (CT), Mold Assessment and looks forward to helping make your home a better place for you and your family.

Description of Work: Used Thoroughspect for initial inspection and subsequent sealing of house to prevent squirrels and rodents from entering. Brian was a pleasure to deal with - as well has his crew. They were most pleasant and professional. I really appreciated their attention to detail and helpfulness. After they left, I realized that they had put the rubber tire back on my outside cart, which I had broken several weeks before and had forgotten about. They could have just moved the cart, but instead, fixed it. | |Overall, I am very satisfied with the job done and am enjoying the peace of mind, watching the squirrels playing in the yard and not having to worry about them entering the house. |

Hello My first C grade. I am being rated only on my dollar quote on this review, and have asked them to rate me on my actual inspection since that is the only service provided. Lots of found issues but simply could not convey the amount of work needed to make this large, older home rodent/ bat proof. Hopefully she will finish the review and base it on a more fair and true manner as she was a friendly person. 70 A grades 6 B grades 1 C grade 1 D grade 1 F grade Almost all of my reviews are for exclusion work completed and people living rodent and bat free, or a thorough inspection. Thanks Brian

Description of Work: I used the offer to get a whole house inspection for critter-proofing. Thouroughspect did a fantastic job with the inspection. He identified all the access points to the house for small and large animals and provided a detailed photoinspection that included all the evidence of animal incursion, AND he identified a number of other potential problems with the house that needed attention as well. I was very satisfied with this service. He provided an estimate for animal proofing the house which I have not yet taken advantage of given some of the other items he identified as part of the inspection, but I would definately use this company again and when it comes time to do the critter maintenance for the home, I will be using this service.

Description of Work: We had Brian from Thoroughspect come in and give us an inspection off of the Big Deal for a major rat issue at the house. He did a thorough inspection, and gave us a realistic idea of how bad the problem was, and also what to expect with rats that have had some attempted trapping ( my husband tried). We found Brian to be knowledgeable, and straight forward with a common sense approach to dealing with this issue. Well, it went pretty much the way he said it would, with the seal of the home put in place after about a week of hard work, the last rat was the most difficult. If you have a rodent issue that is either being dealt with year after year from an exterminator or maybe your husband is making an attempt we suggest using Thoroughspect to solve it once and for all. It was not cheap, but in the end most things of quality are.

Hello, This was a really tough job for some of the nicest folks. These critters were educated (PHD) in the art of being trapped and chased for a long,long time before I came into the picture so it was really difficult. The last rat would walk up to camouflaged traps and turn his head both ways like he was crossing the street carefully and then just walk away. I'm glad we got this house sorted out and they (the [removed member name]) can go back to living rodent free as it will change their lives! Thanks for trusting Thoroughspect with your home, and your family. Peace Brian M. Sweig

Never did the work
Description of Work: He came out right away and talked knowledgeably about what needed to be done - but it took several efforts to get a understandable estimate out of him. He kept sending us the pictures he'd taken but would not say in writing what he would to do to resolve the issue. By the time we finally got an itemized estimate we were traveling and then into the holiday season. We contacted after the New Year and he told us he would get to it on a catch as catch can basis - we decided to pass on the offer.

Hello folks, So I reached out to this client as it is a bit of a mystery considering I sent a concise quote, received an email from him saying he wanted to have the work done and then .... Well it is a bit of a mystery after that. Sometimes certain things can't be cured! I hope whomever is reading these responses understands that nothing in life is 100%. I do my very best to keep everyone happy with these initial inspections. In conclusion all of our clients whom we have actually done sealing work for are very happy to live rodent free as it will change your life. Please allow me to inspect your home and judge for yourself. Thanks for reading. Brian M. Sweig

Thanks for the opportunity to inspect your home. I can only say that in reference to the quote provided- the more work needed to make your home rodent free then the more the quote would be. This makes perfect sense with any scope of work. Peace Brian M. Sweig

Hello, This home was built in 1800's so to seal the multitude of critters out is a good sized project and was priced correctly. I aim to rodent proof every home on the planet, but that is not a realistic goal as some are used to an exterminator throwing poison all over the home for a few hundred dollars. My type of clients can and do see the difference between a bandage on a gaping wound and a real and true solution. Best wishes and good luck in the future as he was a nice guy in general Thanks Brian
