Mike McGraw is the local owner and operator of Pest Marshals of Hudson Valley, serving homeowners and businesses across Dutchess County and the surrounding Hudson Valley. His focus is simple: make it easy to protect your property with dependable service, clear communication, and results you can count on.

From Poughkeepsie to Beacon and Fishkill, Mike works in a mix of river towns, wooded neighborhoods, and busy commercial corridors—each with its own pest pressures depending on season, moisture, and construction style. That’s why his approach is local-first: consistent service, practical recommendations, and follow-through that helps keep problems from coming back.

Mike provides solutions for both homes and businesses, including recurring protection plans, mosquito control, interior treatments, and targeted pest elimination when needed. Whether you’re protecting a family home or a commercial property, the goal stays the same: fast response, straightforward communication, and a more comfortable space year-round.

Before starting Pest Marshals, Mike spent over a decade in leadership roles managing large teams in fast-paced operational environments. He learned that the best outcomes come from supporting people, solving problems quickly, and building clear systems that work every time. Over time, he realized the part of the job he valued most was helping people directly—which led him to build a service business centered on reliability and real peace of mind.

The mission of Pest Marshals stood out to Mike because it connects practical solutions to meaningful results. Limiting and controlling pest populations helps families enjoy their homes and outdoor spaces more comfortably. Having dealt with pest issues growing up, he understands how frustrating they can be and takes pride in helping others feel comfortable at home again. For Mike, it comes down to trust—showing up consistently, doing the job right, and being someone people feel confident calling when they need help.

When he’s not working, Mike spends most of his time with his fiancée Dawn, their daughter Sophia (2), and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Rook (2). He looks forward to building lasting relationships with homeowners and businesses and serving families throughout the Hudson Valley for years to come.
