Disclaimer

The content, services, and information provided through this website and by New York Pest Control are subject to the following terms and conditions. By accessing or using our referral platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this disclaimer in its entirety. If you do not agree with any portion of these terms, you should discontinue use of this service immediately. This disclaimer may be updated periodically without prior notice, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of any modifications.

Not a Pest Control Company

New York Pest Control is not a licensed pest control company, extermination service, or wildlife removal operator. We do not employ technicians, applicators, or field personnel. We do not perform pest inspections, apply pesticides, install exclusion devices, or conduct any hands-on pest management activities. Instead, we operate as a free referral service that connects homeowners, property managers, and business owners in New York with independent pest control professionals and wildlife control operators who may be able to address their specific needs. We do not charge consumers for the referral service we provide.

Independent Contractors

All pest control professionals, exterminators, wildlife removal specialists, and related service providers accessible through our referral network are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, or representatives of New York Pest Control. These contractors maintain their own licensing, insurance coverage, bonding, and regulatory compliance as required by New York State law, New York City regulations, and any applicable local ordinances. We do not supervise, direct, or control the work methods, scheduling, pricing, or quality of services performed by these independent contractors. Each contractor establishes their own rates, warranties, service terms, and operational procedures. Any agreement for services is strictly between you and the contractor you select.

No Endorsement or Liability

Our referral service does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of any contractor's qualifications, workmanship, reliability, or pricing. We make no representations or warranties regarding the competence, licensure status, insurance coverage, or background of any referred professional. New York Pest Control expressly disclaims all liability for any damages, losses, injuries, or disputes arising from services performed by or interactions with independent contractors, including but not limited to property damage, personal injury, ineffective treatment, re-infestation, or contractual disputes. You assume all risk in selecting and engaging any referred contractor. This limitation of liability applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Verification Responsibility

You bear sole responsibility for verifying the credentials, licensure, insurance, and suitability of any contractor before engaging their services. We strongly encourage you to request proof of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation pesticide applicator certification, general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and any required local business licenses. You should obtain written estimates, review service agreements carefully, and confirm warranty terms directly with your chosen contractor. New York Pest Control does not verify contractor credentials on an ongoing basis and cannot guarantee that a contractor's licensing or insurance remains current at the time of service.

Informational Purposes

All content published on this website, including articles about pest identification, prevention tips, treatment methods, and regulatory information, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

Improper identification or treatment can exacerbate problems, pose health risks, or violate environmental regulations.

Emergency Situations
