## Frequently asked questions
- What pests do you treat in Buffalo? We treat ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, spiders, wasps and hornets, termites, rats and mice for homes and businesses across Buffalo and Erie County. Wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons and bats, birds, snakes and fumigation are outside our scope.
- What is the difference between pest control and rodent control? Pest control usually means insects and spiders, such as ants, roaches, bed bugs and termites. Rodent control means rats and mice, and it relies on trapping, bait stations and sealing the openings they use. We handle both, and one inspection can cover the whole picture.
- What happens during a pest or rodent inspection? A technician walks the inside and outside of the property, identifies the pest, finds where it is coming from and how it gets in, and explains the findings in plain language before any treatment begins.
- What attracts rats and mice to Buffalo homes? Food, water and shelter. Open trash, pet food, bird seed, clutter along foundations, damp basements and small gaps around pipes, doors and vents all invite them in, and Buffalo winters push them toward heated buildings.
- What do mouse droppings and rat droppings look like? Mouse droppings are small, dark and pointed, about the size of a grain of rice. Rat droppings are larger and capsule shaped. Fresh droppings are dark and soft, and old ones are gray and crumbly.
- What does exclusion mean in pest control? Exclusion means physically closing the openings rodents and insects use, with materials they cannot chew through such as steel mesh, hardware cloth, metal flashing and cement based patching. It is what keeps the problem from returning.
- What should I do before the technician arrives? Clear access to the kitchen, basement, attic or the area where you saw activity, put food away, and note where and when you noticed signs. Do not use store bought sprays or bait right before the visit, since they can scatter the pests.
- What should I do if I find a dead mouse or rat? Wear gloves, avoid stirring up dust, place the animal in a sealed bag, clean the area with a disinfectant and wash your hands well. If there is a smell but you cannot find the source, call us and we can trace it.
- When is pest season in Buffalo? Ants, wasps and spiders are most active from late spring through early fall. Mice move indoors as nights turn cold in October and November, and rodent calls stay high through winter. Bed bugs and roaches are a year round problem in apartments.
- 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.
- When should I call about rats? Call as soon as you see burrows, droppings indoors, gnaw marks or a rat during the day. Daytime sightings often mean a larger population, and rats breed quickly, so waiting makes the job bigger.
- When are your phone lines open? We take calls 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM ET, every day of the week. Call 716-347-5858 and describe what you are seeing.
- When do termites swarm in Western New York? Termite swarms usually appear in spring and early summer, often on warm days after rain. Winged insects indoors near windows or light fixtures are a reason to call for an inspection.
- When is the best time to seal a home against rodents? Late summer and early fall, before the first freeze. Check again at the spring thaw, since freeze and thaw cycles widen cracks in foundations and around utility lines.
