Company Background
About Five Star Trapping & Pest Control
Five Star Trapping & Pest Control is a small Borough Park company that has been in business since 1995, by its own account, and its office at 1310 52nd St is on a mixed block of shops and homes near 13th Avenue. Founder Robert Reiss, who goes by Heshie, is often in the field himself, and the site quotes him saying the company has friends it services rather than customers.
What sets Five Star apart from most exterminators in this list is the trapping side of the business. Brooklyn's row houses and detached homes get squirrels in the ceiling, raccoons in the backyard and mice in the walls, and Five Star handles both the animal removal and the insect work. Its service list includes baiting, trapping, insect treatment, rodent work and bed bugs. The company says it is licensed and insured and offers emergency service, and it serves New York City, Nassau County and New Jersey.
Reviews describe quick responses. One customer called on a Friday and had a technician there within the hour, another had squirrels out of the ceiling in a few hours, and a third says the crew would not leave until they found a hidden hive. A mouse customer says the technician showed exactly where the mice were getting in and followed up afterward. The review count is smaller than others on this list, so weigh it with that in mind.
Google shows 5.0 from 93 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026.
Five Star suits Brooklyn homeowners with wildlife in the house or a mouse problem that needs trapping and sealing. Large buildings that need documented IPM programs may prefer a bigger firm. The office is closed on Saturday. Before booking, ask for a written quote, the DEC business registration number, the technician's certification and, for animal work, whether the company holds a New York State nuisance wildlife control license.
