Mice and rats are year-round threats throughout the Hudson Valley. They enter structures through gaps as small as a dime, breed rapidly indoors, and pose serious health and property risks. Our licensed rodent specialists eliminate infestations completely — and seal entry points to keep them out for good.

Mice and rats are primarily nocturnal, making infestations easy to miss until they are well established. A single pair of mice can produce up to 60 offspring per year inside your home. The earlier you call, the more manageable — and less costly — the treatment.
October through December is peak rodent entry season in the Hudson Valley as field temperatures drop and food sources disappear. But rodents enter homes year-round — do not wait until you see one to call.
Rodents do not choose homes at random. Specific conditions attract them and keep them inside. Our inspection identifies every factor driving activity on your property.
Elimination and exclusion — we treat the infestation and close the door behind them
Every rodent job begins with a complete inspection of the interior and exterior. We identify all active runways, entry points, harborage areas, and attractants before treatment begins.
We place trapping and bait stations at all identified activity points. Station placement is strategic — positioned along active runways and near harborage areas for maximum effectiveness.
Elimination alone does not solve a rodent problem — new rodents will enter through the same gaps. We seal entry points using professional-grade materials that rodents cannot chew through or push past.
Rodent infestations are not just a nuisance — they pose real health and property dangers
Deer mice — common throughout Hudson Valley mountain and rural areas — can carry hantavirus. Dried rodent droppings and nesting material can become airborne when disturbed. Professional cleanup is essential after any infestation.
Rodents contaminate food preparation surfaces, utensils, and stored food with droppings and urine. Norway rats in particular can carry leptospirosis, which is transmissible to humans and pets through contaminated water and surfaces.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth trimmed. Electrical wiring inside wall voids is a frequent target. Chewed wire insulation is a leading cause of house fires with no obvious ignition source. If you hear rodents in walls, act immediately.
Mice and rats chew through insulation, drywall, vapor barriers, plumbing lines, and HVAC ductwork. A large infestation can cause thousands of dollars in damage over a single winter season inside an unmonitored structure.
Rodents carry fleas and ticks into structures. A mouse infestation that resolves on its own or through improper treatment often leaves behind a secondary flea infestation as the pest population collapses and fleas seek new hosts.
Rodents nest in attic and crawlspace insulation, contaminating it with droppings, urine, and pathogens. Heavily contaminated insulation must be professionally removed and replaced — not just treated. We can advise on remediation options.
