Pests don’t wait — and neither do we. At Certified Pest Solutions, we’ve been helping Buffalo homeowners and businesses protect what matters most for over four decades. Local, certified, and family-run, we’re the team Western New York trusts when it’s time to get the job done right.

Pest Control

ABOUT US

Family-Owned, Buffalo-
Raised, Community-Rooted.

Certified Pest Solutions is a third-generation, family-owned business built right here in Buffalo, NY. We’re not a franchise — we’re a team of locals who live in the same neighborhoods we serve. For us, pest control isn’t just a service. It’s a craft, a commitment, and a family tradition. Owner Dean Ballowe now works side-by-side with his sons, Lucas and Marcus, and a close-knit team that shares the same values: show up on time, do the job right, and treat people with respect.

Solutions Backed by Local Know-How

We don’t do one-size-fits-all treatments — because Buffalo homes, seasons, and pests demand more than that. Our services are built on decades of hands-on experience and real certification-based training, so you get targeted, responsible pest control that actually works.

Whether it’s mice in the kitchen walls or rats in the basement, we know how rodents move — and how to stop them. Our team uses proven strategies to identify entry points, block access, and eliminate the source of the problem. No gimmicks. Solutions that protect your space long-term.

Ants, wasps, spiders, roaches — Buffalo’s bug problems change with the seasons, and we’re ready for all of them. We don’t just spray and go; we assess the situation, apply targeted treatments, and explain what’s happening every step of the way. Smart, professional, and effective.

Got something bigger than bugs? We handle raccoons, squirrels, and other unwanted guests with care and expertise. Our humane wildlife removal services focus on professional, prevention, and long-term exclusion — so once they’re out, they stay out. We know the habits of these animals because we’ve removed them from every kind of property in Western New York.
