    Pest-Free Basements in Albany: Your Guide to Preventing Unwanted Guests in the Capital Region

    Is your basement a cozy hideout for unwanted critters? From scurrying mice to creepy crawly spiders, basement pests can turn your lower level into a nightmare. Let's explore how to keep your Albany home's foundation free from these uninvited guests.

     

    Common Basement Pests in the Capital Region

    Albany homeowners often face these persistent invaders:

    • Ants: Potential structural damage
    • Mice: Insulation and wiring destroyers
    • Camel crickets: Fabric fiends

    Creating a Pest-Proof Basement

    Seal the Deal: Entry Point Prevention

    • Inspect your foundation thoroughly
    • Use steel wool and caulking to close gaps
    • Check openings for wiring and piping

    Outdoor Deterrents

    • Keep the area around your house clean and clear
    • Minimize:
      • Debris piles
      • Thick foliage
      • Mulch near the foundation

    • Install a dehumidifier
    • Reduce humidity to make your basement less appealing
