Why Rodent Removal is Urgent
Rodents aren’t just annoying — they’re dangerous and destructive:
-
Health Risks: Mice and rats spread diseases through droppings, urine, and nesting materials.
-
Property Damage: Chewing wires, insulation, and wood can lead to costly repairs or even fire hazards.
-
Fast Breeding: One mouse can have up to 10 litters a year. Infestations grow quickly.
Even if you’ve only seen one mouse, chances are many more are hiding. The sooner you act, the easier and less expensive it is to solve the problem.

Common Rodents in Upstate New York
There is no shortage of rodents in New York, including here in Albany and the Capital District, the Adirondack, and the Hudson Valley regions. Here is a list of common upstate New York rodents we are concerned about because they get into homes and businesses and cause all sorts of problems:
How To Keep Rodents Out Of Your Home
Did you know that a mouse can fit through a hole the size of a dime, and some rats can fit through holes the size of a quarter? Rodents are opportunistic, and they will make their way into your home if they have an opportunity. The key to rodent-proofing your home is to make it less attractive and inviting for them. Be proactive! Here are some rodent prevention tips:
- Start with an inspection. Walk around the outside of your upstate New York home and look for small spaces rodents may use to gain access into your home (e.g., cracks in your eaves, foundation, and windows).
- Seal potential entry points. This includes cracks and holes on the outside of your home, including areas where utilities and pipes enter the home. Use caulk, steel wool, or a combination of both.
- Cover all other openings around your home. This includes screen vents and openings to chimneys, installing door sweeps on exterior doors, and repairing any damaged screens.
- Eliminate all moisture sites. This includes clogged drains and leaking (good breeding sites). Plus, keep attics, basements, and crawl spaces dry and well-ventilated.
- Clean up any debris on your property. This includes storing firewood at least 20 feet away from your home. Also, make sure outdoor trash cans are sealed.
- Prune trees and landscaping. Tree branches and shrubbery located close to your roofline provide easy access for rodents. Make sure you trim back tree branches and bushes.
- Keep your house clean. This includes regularly disposing of garbage, keeping food tightly sealed in containers, wiping down counters, and sweeping and mopping floors.
