Bed Bugs:

We use an eco solution that is safe for your loved ones and the environment. By applying this solution we rely on the carpenter ants themselves to carry it back to their nests effectively wiping out the colony. If you happen to notice an uptick, in activity there’s no need to worry, it simply means our treatment is working as intended. Multiple treatments may be needed for complete eradication, and we’ll advise on any necessary repairs to prevent future carpenter ant problems.

Following that we will develop a personalized strategy to eradicate the infestation and safeguard, against occurrences. We are confident our service will deliver you the tick-free yard you deserve.
Mosquitoes:
Albany’s abundance of waterways creates a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes. Even a small amount of water can quickly attract a large number of mosquitos. Our skilled technicians, who have experience in the local area are well versed in the hiding spots and breeding grounds favored by mosquitoes. We highly recommend a treatment to prevent these pests from overwhelming your yard but we also have effective solutions available if you’re already facing an infestation.

Rodents:
When it comes to dealing with mice or rats many individuals aim to get rid of them without causing harm. Our approach to removal focuses on relocating them humanely. We employ methods to encourage these creatures to vacate your premises allowing them and their offspring to relocate safely. Once they have gone we carefully seal off all entry points, gaps, wires, cracks and beams to prevent their return. After that we thoroughly clean the areas by removing droppings and ensuring an healthy environment, for your family or business.

Can secondhand furniture bring bed bugs into an Albany home or apartment?
Yes. Used beds, couches, chairs, and other furniture can carry bed bugs even when there are no obvious signs at first glance. Before bringing an item indoors, inspect seams, joints, folds, undersides, and other narrow hiding places for live bugs, dark spotting, shed skins, or eggs.
What should I look for if I suspect bed bugs in my Albany home?
Bites alone are not enough to confirm an infestation because people can react differently or show no visible reaction at all. Check mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, upholstered furniture, and nearby cracks for live bed bugs, dark spotting, shed skins, eggs, or reddish stains. Physical evidence is more reliable than trying to identify the problem from bites alone.
What does coarse, sawdust-like debris near woodwork in an Albany home mean?
Small piles of coarse debris around window frames, trim, porches, or other wooden areas can be associated with carpenter ant activity, although other wood-infesting insects can leave similar evidence. Carpenter ants remove material while excavating nesting galleries rather than consuming the wood itself. Recurring ant activity together with fresh debris is a good reason to examine the surrounding area more closely.
Does living near the Hudson River mean mosquitoes are breeding on my Albany property?
Not necessarily. Mosquitoes noticed around an Albany home may be developing in much smaller sources of standing water directly on or near the property. Clogged gutters, planters, birdbaths, buckets, tarps, toys, and other containers can all hold enough water to become breeding sites.
Why can mosquito problems increase around Albany homes after heavy rain?
Rain can leave water sitting in gutters, containers, pool covers, flowerpots, tarps, toys, and low areas around a property. Mosquitoes can develop in relatively small collections of standing water, so checking the yard after rainfall and removing water where possible can reduce nearby breeding opportunities.
Can ticks be a problem in Albany backyards, parks, and other urban green spaces?
Yes. Tick exposure is not limited to deep woods. Grassy or brushy sections of yards, parks, trail edges, leaf litter, and other vegetated spaces can provide suitable habitat. Shaded property borders and places where maintained lawns meet taller vegetation deserve particular attention.
Can pets bring ticks indoors after spending time in an Albany yard or park?
Yes. Pets may encounter ticks in grassy, brushy, or leaf-covered areas around Albany and carry them inside on their fur. After they have been outdoors, check common hiding spots such as around the ears, beneath the collar, under the legs, near the tail, and between the toes.
Why can mice enter older Albany homes and rowhouses through such small gaps?
Mice can squeeze through very small openings. In older buildings, gaps may develop around foundations, doors, utility lines, vents, siding, and connections between different building materials. Locating and sealing these openings is an important part of preventing mice from repeatedly getting inside.
Can rodents move between attached rowhouses or units in an Albany building?
Yes. Connected wall voids, ceilings, basements, plumbing openings, and gaps around electrical or utility lines can provide routes through a building. Finding rodents in one unit does not always mean their activity is limited to that space, especially when access points elsewhere in the structure remain open.
Why are basements and utility areas important when checking an Albany property for rodents?
Basements and utility spaces often contain pipes, wiring, foundation joints, storage areas, and other potential entry or hiding locations. Droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, damaged stored goods, or repeated activity around utility penetrations can help reveal where rodents are entering or moving through the building.
What Our Customers Are Saying
“I’ve been working with Enviropest for probably 12 to 15 years. I’ve always been very satisfied with the services they provide. The service man who comes to my house, is always pleasant and cheerful, and does a thorough job.” – Rebecca H.
“We back up to woods and have noticed a significant decrease in the number of bugs and pests since using EnviroPest over the past three years. Our tech Jordan is the best! It’s so nice to get to see the same trusted smiling face every visit! Thank you for the amazing service. I look forward to seeing you in the spring :)” – Cris M.
“Right from the start my experience with EnviroPest was exceptional. I sent a message to them online in the evening and immediately heard back. The gentleman asked if he could call me in the morning. By the morning I had forgotten all about it and was busy with my day when he actually called and followed through like he said. Our conversation was wonderful and I hung up the phone already impressed with the company. About a week later (at my request) Alonzo arrived at my house and he was just as friendly and professional as the man I spoke with on the phone. He took his time and went through my house inside and out while asking me questions and actively listening. I noticed an immediate decrease of bugs after he sprayed and within days had no bugs in my house or on my patio or deck. Just recently (1 month later) I noticed an ant here or there in my kitchen so I reached out to Alonzo, he responded immediately and scheduled a visit for the same week. I could not be happier with the customer service I have received. I recommend EnviroPest to everyone I know. Give them a call and see for yourselves.” – Desi Z.
