Company Background
About Colony Pest Management, Inc
Colony Pest Management, Inc is a Canarsie company that has been family-owned for more than 40 years, according to its site, and its office is in a store building at 9301 Avenue L, at the corner of East 93rd Street. Joseph Sheehan, the principal, has been around the trade since he was five years old and is a past president of the Professional Pest Management Association of New York City. He helped merge the three New York pest management associations in 2013.
The person homeowners may end up talking to is Edward J. Sheehan, the staff entomologist. He holds the ACE (Associate Certified Entomologist) credential, served as director of quality assurance before that, and teaches the mandatory course for becoming a certified pesticide applicator in New York State. Colony also runs a K9 team for bed bug detection, and the company says every dog and handler pair keeps third-party certification through the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association.
Technicians file their reports on phones, and since 2006 the company has used app-based service orders that barcode every bait station and trap it installs. At the end of each visit you get a list of conditions that invite pests and what to fix first. The firm offers free estimates and service contracts, and it serves Brooklyn, the rest of the city, Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey.
Reviewers name technicians Dario, Michael and Ernesto, and describe long inspections with time spent explaining each step. One customer says they have used Colony for several years.
Google shows 4.9 from 301 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026.
Colony suits Brooklyn homeowners with bed bug worries or a problem that keeps coming back. It may feel like more process than needed for a single mouse. Before booking, ask for a written plan, the DEC business registration number and the technician's certification, and ask whether a K9 inspection is included or extra.
