The usual advice sounds sensible. You find the gap where yellow jackets slip into your siding, you hit it with a can of spray or push caulk into it, and the nest dies behind your wall where you never have to look at it.

A completed rodent seal isn't a chemical treatment you schedule again and again. It's a specific set of openings, physically closed, that a technician traced back to the routes rodents were actually using at your house, rather than guessed at from the driveway.

The kettle clicks off, you reach for a mug, and something tickles the back of your wrist.

As April showers bring May flowers across the Farmington Valley, we’re thrilled to launch our new 3-part Farmington Valley Spring Mice Series at Green Pest Control.

Ants create hidden satellite nests and communicate instantly via pheromones—making store-bought sprays often ineffective at reaching nests at the rates required for colony collapse.

Look for long ant trails along baseboards, small piles of dirt (mounds) near foundations, or tiny black or brown ants in pantries. Pavement ants leave sandy trails on sidewalks, while odorous house ants smell like coconut when crushed.

Spring rains in the Farmington Valley create moist conditions that ants love, drawing them from outdoor colonies into homes through tiny cracks around foundations, doors, and windows.
