Sources and Editorial Standards
We write about rules that affect real people, so we keep the claims narrow and point to where they come from.
How we write
- Local rules, deadlines and penalties are taken from city, county and state agency pages, and we link them.
- Where rules change, we tell you to check the source for the latest wording.
- Treatment and sealing advice comes from field practice and from integrated pest management guidance.
- Safety and pesticide information is checked against public agency pages such as the CDC, the EPA and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
- Our guides are general information. They are not legal advice.
Public sources we use
- New York State Attorney General
- City of Buffalo
- Erie County
- CDC: Rodents
- EPA: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Principles
- EPA: Controlling Rodents
