Pest Control Done Right The First Time
Most exterminators treat and leave. We inspect, treat, seal, and verify, because in Buffalo, the sealing is what makes the result permanent.
Real Inspections
Every job starts by mapping activity and entry points, not by guessing where to place bait.
Targeted Treatment
Locked stations and precision trapping on actual runways. Everything is family safe and label compliant.
Permanent Exclusion
We seal entry points with steel and cement based materials rodents cannot chew through.
Verified Results
Follow up visits and monitoring confirm zero activity before we call the job done.

Signs You Need Pest Control
Pests and rodents leave evidence long before most people see them. Any of these signs means it's time to act:
- Ant trails or roaches in kitchens and bathrooms
- Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night
- Gnaw marks on wood, wiring, or food packaging
- Droppings in cabinets, attics, or basements
- Wasp or hornet nests under eaves and in sheds
- Itchy bites or rust colored spots on bedding
Recognize any of these? Read our guide to the 7 signs of mice in your home or call 716-347-5858 today.

Where Pests and Rodents Get Into Buffalo Buildings
Every infestation starts at an opening: roof lines and attic vents up top, doors, windows, pipes and utilities in the middle, foundation gaps and crawl spaces at the bottom. Rats need half an inch. Mice need a quarter inch.
That is why our method never stops at treatment. Every job follows the same pipeline, and the exclude step is what makes results permanent. Learn more about rodent proofing and entry point sealing, or see the full rodent control guide for Buffalo.
Common Rodents In Buffalo
Norway Rat
The most common rat in Buffalo. It burrows along foundations, alleys and under porches and slabs, and enters through gaps about half an inch wide.
House Mouse
The usual indoor invader, especially in winter. It fits through a gap about a quarter inch wide and travels wall voids, pipe chases and basements.
Roof Rat
Uncommon here, but possible in upper floors and attics. It climbs well and nests high, so exclusion focuses on the roofline.

Why Buffalo Homes Get Pests and Rodents
Long winters push rats and mice toward heated buildings, and Buffalo's older doubles and stone basements give them easy ways in. Warm, humid summers bring ants, wasps, spiders and roaches, and shared walls in apartments and rentals spread bed bugs and roaches between units. Freeze and thaw cycles keep cracking foundations that were already worn.
That is why we pair treatment with sealing. Removing the animals without closing the openings only resets the clock. Read how it works in our guide to what actually works against Buffalo rats, learn to spot trouble early with the warning signs guide, or read the Buffalo rodent control guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from Buffalo technicians. Have a different question? Call 716-347-5858, we pick up.
When are your phone lines open?
We take calls 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM ET, every day, across Buffalo and Erie County. Call 716-347-5858 and we will schedule a visit that fits your day.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use locked, tamper resistant stations and place traps only where children and pets cannot reach. Trap only programs are available on request.
Do you handle both rats and mice?
Yes, and they need different programs. Norway rats burrow and enter at the foundation; mice travel wall voids and pipe chases. Our inspection identifies the species before anything is placed.
What happens after treatment?
Programs include follow up visits until monitoring confirms zero activity, and entry points are sealed and photographed for your records.
What pests do you treat in Buffalo?
We treat ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, spiders, yellow jackets, wasps and hornets, mosquitoes, house flies, termites, rats and mice for homes and businesses across Buffalo and Erie County. We do not treat squirrels, chipmunks, woodchucks, raccoons, honeybees, snakes, lizards, mites, lice, gnats, fruit flies, drain flies, maggots or lawn pests.
When do mice move indoors in Buffalo?
Buffalo's first hard freezes in October and November, often with early lake effect weather, are when mice start moving into basements, garages and kitchens. Sealing gaps in late summer or early fall, before the first hard freeze, gives the best result.
How do I know if I have rats or mice?
Look at droppings, noise and location. Small droppings and scratching inside walls point to mice. Larger droppings, burrows beside the foundation and gnawing on outdoor items point to rats. Our rat versus mouse guide has a side by side comparison.
Do you serve villages and the countryside outside Buffalo?
Yes. Our service area includes rural Erie County towns such as Alden, Akron, Angola, Eden, Elma, Marilla, Holland, Springville and Boston, plus country properties, farms and barns. Call to confirm your address.
Is there a pest control company near me?
If you are in Buffalo, the inner or outer suburbs or the surrounding villages, yes. Call 716-347-5858 and give us your ZIP code, and we will confirm coverage and schedule a visit.
Who is responsible for pest control in a Buffalo rental?
In rental homes, keeping mice and rats out is generally the owner's responsibility under New York's warranty of habitability (Real Property Law Section 235-b) and local housing rules, though leases and local codes differ. Our landlord and tenant guide explains the steps to take.
Do you service restaurants, hotels and bars?
Yes. We build documented programs for restaurants, bars and breweries, hotels, grocery and food production, healthcare, schools, offices, warehouses and property portfolios, with service timed around your hours.
