Mission Exterminating is an owner-operated pest control company in West Babylon, serving homes and businesses across Suffolk and Nassau since 2012. Every job starts the same way: a free inspection, an honest answer, and a price before anything is treated.

Owner-operated since 2012

Mission is owned and run by Frank Monteforte, who describes himself as "Owner. Exterminator. Guy who answers the phone." Before starting the company, Frank spent years in real estate, walking through home after home damaged by termites, mice and other pests, too often after the homeowner had already paid someone who sprayed, left and never came back. He started Mission Exterminating in 2012 "to do it the right way." Today he and his licensed technicians find out how pests are getting in, fix the problem at the source, and explain exactly what they found and what it costs before any work starts. "When you call Mission, you get me or someone I trained myself," Frank says. "No call centers, no runaround."

Mice and rat control

Mission's mice and rat control goes beyond bait. Removing mice for good usually takes three to four visits: for the first visits, a technician comes out once a week to catch the mice, reset the traps and find every spot they are getting in, and once they are gone, Mission seals every gap, including steel edging under the siding. For homes without mice, Mission skips the trapping and goes straight to sealing. Where mice or rats have left a mess, especially in attics and crawl spaces, Mission removes and disinfects droppings and does full cleanouts, including removing and replacing damaged insulation.

Pests Mission treats

Mission's pest control services cover the pests Long Island homeowners call about most:

  • Mice and rats: droppings in drawers or the pantry, chewed packaging, scratching in the walls at night. Mission traps them over a few weekly visits, tracks down every entry point, then seals the house up, "including steel edging under the siding, so they can't get back in."
  • Ants, carpenter ants and bees: Mission finds where they're nesting and treats at the source, "not just the ants you can see." Carpenter ants and carpenter bees damage wood, so they're dealt with before the damage spreads.
  • Cockroaches: targeted baits and treatments in the cracks and crevices where they hide, then follow-up visits to make sure the whole population is gone.
  • Bed bugs: Mission confirms it's bed bugs, gives you a simple prep checklist, treats the rooms affected, and comes back to make sure they're gone.
  • Termites: termite baiting stations, treatment for active infestations, and repair of termite-damaged wood, "so it's one company start to finish."
  • Wasps and hornets: nests under the eaves, in the deck, around the AC unit or in the ground, safely removed, with the area treated so they don't rebuild there.
  • Mosquitoes, ticks and fleas: yard treatments that target the shady edges, bushes and leaf litter where they actually live.
  • Spiders: webs cleared out and treatment inside and out to keep them from coming back.

For anyone unsure what they are dealing with, Mission identifies pests free from a photo: text a photo to (631) 449-2554.

Home protection plans

For year-round coverage, Mission sells three home protection plans, each a 12-month plan where you can pay upfront and save 10%:

  • On a Mission (core protection): 3 visits a year, with inside and outside protection from 14 of Long Island's most common bugs.
  • Mission Possible (rodent protection, the most popular): 3 visits a year, everything in On a Mission plus mice and rat control with exterior bait stations and unlimited service calls.
  • Mission Accomplished (whole-home coverage): 4 visits a year, everything in Mission Possible plus a fourth visit "so your home is covered every season."

Pricing is based on each home. Tell Mission your address to get your price and you'll have it within 24 hours, with no obligation; the price is confirmed at your free inspection. Plan members get member pricing on add-ons like termites, wasp nests and bed bugs, and customers with mice can ask about 20% off rodent exclusion.

Commercial pest control for restaurants and property managers

Mission's commercial pest control offers "dependable pest control for Long Island restaurants and property managers, with the paperwork to prove it," for restaurants, apartment buildings, property management companies and hospitality. Businesses get weekly, bi-weekly or monthly service, service logs for health inspections, discreet after-hours visits, and a direct line to the owner. Mission also offers a free site walkthrough, with a clear price and no hard sell.

The Mission promise

Mission makes three promises. Fast answers: call or text and you'll hear back quickly, often the same day, and same-day service is often available. Honest prices: a free inspection, a straight answer about what's going on, and a price before anything is treated; "If you don't need us, we'll tell you." Done right: sealing up how pests get in, so they don't keep coming back.

Mission is licensed and insured, holding New York State DEC Pesticide Business Registration #16377, and says certificates are available on request. Before treatment, the team explains any precautions for kids and pets, including whether they need to stay away from treated areas and for how long.

What customers say

Mission holds a 5.0 rating from 74 Google reviews and is A+ rated by the BBB. One Google reviewer wrote that the owner "called back within five minutes and he and an employee were at my home in less than an hour. Boy does he know his business." Another, after finding a mouse in the house, called him "so reassuring. He is very professional and fairly priced."
