What to tell us about your property.
Tell us the basics and we can bring the right materials. The list below is the short version of what the dispatcher wants to hear.
- The type of siding and the condition of the trim.
- Whether bushes touch the walls.
- Whether leaves pile up against the foundation.
- Whether a stone wall runs near the house.
Weather clues worth watching.
A household that is away on weekdays gives mice a quiet building. A quick weekend check of the pantry, the cellar corners and the attic hatch catches early signs before they grow.
Seed spilled under a bird feeder keeps feeding animals long after the birds have gone. A tray, a daily sweep and a locking bin cut the draw without ending the hobby.
Inspect, trap, seal, check.
We name the animal first, then set traps, then close the gaps with mesh, flashing and hard sealant. A return visit checks the traps and tests the seals. Cleanup and repair follow as separate, priced stages.
Materials matter. Steel mesh, metal flashing and cured sealant take the place of foam and rags, which rodents chew through. We explain what we use before we use it.

Dial (888) 686-4821What the place label means for a call.
There is no village office to consult for Verplanck, and no need. A rodent visit does not involve the municipality, only your property and the animals using it.
Hamlet addresses often carry another place name on the mail. If yours does, give us both, and we match the street to the right page without any fuss.
Emergency timing, plainly.
Weekend calls get a staffed line. Visits depend on technician availability, and we say plainly what is possible.
If something has died in a wall and the smell is strong, call. The dispatcher can book a visit and give tips for keeping the air moving meanwhile.
Before you call: dust and your lungs
Think of this as a checklist for the hour after you spot droppings.
- Reach for a spray bottle, not a broom.
- A room sealed for weeks needs a cross draft and a half hour of patience first.
- Wear gloves from the first minute, because unwashed hands carry waste to the mouth, and finish with soap and water.
- Keep spraying until nothing looks dry, then leave the room for a few minutes.
- Pick up a dead animal through a barrier and drop it straight into a bag.
- For a few weeks, keep an eye on how you feel, and tell your doctor about flu-like symptoms or hard breathing.
