Pest Control in Collins, NY
Why do Collins homes get so many mice?
Collins is a rural town of farms, woodlots and hamlets along the Cattaraugus Creek valley. Mice live in the fields and outbuildings all summer, and when the cold arrives they look for a way into the house through gaps at the foundation, sill plate and utility lines.
We find the gaps they are using, seal them with materials mice can’t chew through, and monitor until activity stops. See our guide on keeping mice out of an old house.
What stinging insects show up around Collins?
Paper wasps under eaves and porch roofs, yellowjackets in lawns and wall voids, and bald-faced hornets in trees and shrubs are common around Collins, along with ground-nesting bees in yards, fields and old stumps. Yellowjackets get most defensive in late summer, when people are spending the most time outside. See our stinging insect ID guide.
Can you treat barns, garages and outbuildings?
Yes. Rural properties often have pest activity in outbuildings before it reaches the house. We include those structures in the inspection and plan when you want them covered.
Do bats get into Collins homes?
Yes. Attics, soffits and chimneys give bats places to roost. The NYS Department of Health advises against excluding bats during maternity season, from late May to mid-August. We plan exclusions for spring or late summer and fall. Read when bats can be excluded in New York.
Do you serve Collins businesses?

Food service establishments are inspected by the county health department. Learn more on our commercial and rental pest control page.
