About Thomas Pest Services

We Treat Little Things Like Big Things

Thomas Pest Services has quickly made a name for itself! In December 2010, Bill Clark and Sarah Thomas-Clark established Thomas Pest Services in New York’s Capital Region. After years of working for Sarah’s father Craig at Craig Thomas Pest Control, the two were ready to build something of their own – and a small company in Hudson Falls was the perfect place to carry on the family tradition.

Bill generated new business and completed services while Sarah ensured customer happiness, and directed marketing efforts. They were (and still are), the perfect duo! With 50+ years of family experience in the field, Bill and Sarah have learned one philosophy of the utmost importance: work hard and form true, long-lasting relationships with customers built on a foundation of honesty, transparency, and stellar service. These concepts were passed down from Sarah’s grandfather, Jim, her father, Craig, and her uncle, George – all founders and owners of their own pest control companies. Clearly, pest control is in Sarah’s blood.

Sarah, Bill, and the entire Thomas team have worked tirelessly for more than a decade to grow Thomas Pest Services into the most well-known locally operated pest control company in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley. The company has made tremendous progress in those years, but it still remains a family-owned company with a passion for relationship-based pest control that always remembers to treat the little things like big things.
