ABOUT US
Pest Control Built for Buffalo. Backed by Experience.
We’re not new to this — and it shows. Certified Pest Solutions has been protecting Buffalo-area homes and businesses for over 45 years, combining field-tested methods with the kind of local insight you only get through experience. Family-owned, fully certified, and always learning, we’re the real deal when it comes to pest control in Western New York.
GET TO KNOW CERTIFIED PEST SOLUTIONS
Family-Owned. Buffalo-Raised.
Certified Pest Solutions is a family-run business rooted in Buffalo. Owner Dean Ballowe now works alongside his sons, Lucas and Marcus, leading a close-knit team that believes in doing things the right way. We’re not a franchise — we’re your neighbors, committed to protecting homes and businesses across Western New York with care, skill, and integrity.
We’re a family-owned pest control company born and built in Buffalo. Three generations deep, we run our business with hands-on experience and hometown pride. You won’t find scripts or call centers here — just local people who know the work and stand by it.
We don’t do “spray and pray.” Every service starts with a thorough inspection and a plan based on your property, pest type, and season. It’s smart, targeted pest control — nothing more, nothing less.
We believe in doing things right the first time. That means showing up on time, explaining every step, and treating your home like it’s our own. It’s how we’ve earned trust across Buffalo for over 45 years.
From Buffalo’s city homes to rural properties in Hamburg and Orchard Park, we’ve worked just about everywhere. We serve homeowners, landlords, businesses, and anyone tired of sharing space with pests. If you’re in Western New York, we’re your people.
OUR STORY
From First Job
to Family Business
Dean Ballowe’s journey in pest control started in high school — and it didn’t take long for that part-time gig to become a full-blown passion.
He went on to study at Canisius College while continuing to grow his knowledge in the industry, eventually founding Certified Pest Solutions as a way to raise the bar for local pest control. Decades later, he’s still just as involved — only now, he gets to work alongside his sons and a team he calls his extended family. It’s not just about bugs. It’s about keeping businesses and homes pest-free.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Certified. Proven. Experienced.
With over 45 years in the field, Dean Ballowe leads a team trained well beyond the basics. He holds certifications in five specialized areas and has taught pest control to local business groups. We bring that same depth of knowledge to every job — from rodents in basements to wildlife in attics — backed by real credentials and decades of local experience.
