Throughout the year, we use our website blogs to help educate our customers about the pests and nuisance wildlife that live in and around their homes. Most are harmless to people; some can be a bit more dangerous.
It is that time of year!
The nights are getting cooler and the sun is setting earlier. These are signals for pests and nuisance wildlife to begin to look for shelter for the winter. Bats, cluster flies, and squirrels, just to name a few.
How are pests and nuisance wildlife getting into my home?
In most cases when responding to a call about ants, squirrels, bats, flies, or other pests and wildlife, we will find the source of entry.
On a recent blog post on cockroaches, we discussed entry point concerns:
Entry points and hiding places? Don’t give them an opportunity to enter.
- Make sure windows and doors are snugly fit and close properly.
- Look for entry points where appliances plug in.
- Use caulk to fill any gaps around the bathtub and sink.
- Check drains and disposals for evidence of roaches.
- Eliminate water sources- fix any leaky pipes.
- Eliminate yard debris and keep firewood outside and far away from the home.
When our technicians come to inspect and treat a home or business for pests and nuisance wildlife, we focus on discussing treatment plans, structural repairs, and exclusion services.

Just a simple hole in the foundation?
A homeowner in Schenectady, NY called regarding an unusual hole in her foundation close to the front stairs of her home. Upon inspection we found a large number of chipmunks living under the stairs, preparing for winter, and significantly compromising her foundation, staircase, and structural support. We began treatment to remove the chipmunks and once treatments were finished we repaired the masonry and closed the source of entry for the wildlife.
