Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
Exclusion sealing all entry points is fundamental. Snap traps placed along travel routes and in active areas. Bait stations with naturally-derived rodenticides in secured locations. We identify and seal entry points. Habitat modification removes attractants. For Albany's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do mice get into my house?
Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime (1/4 inch). Common entry points include gaps around pipes and wires, foundation cracks, garage doors, dryer vents, and where siding meets foundation. They climb walls and enter at roofline too.
Are mice dangerous beyond being a nuisance?
Yes, mice pose real health risks. They contaminate food with droppings and urine, spread diseases including hantavirus and salmonella, trigger allergies and asthma, and cause fire hazards by gnawing electrical wiring. Prompt control is important.
Are your mice treatments safe for Albany farms?
Yes. We use botanical and natural methods that are safe around livestock, crops, and stored feed. Our IPM approach protects Albany's agricultural operations while eliminating pest problems.
