GOT A PEST PROBLEMIN BUFFALO?

Exclusion (sealing entry points) is more effective long-term than trapping alone for Buffalo rodent problems. Signs: gaps around plumbing penetrations, gnaw marks on wood trim, droppings near appliances.

Buffalo's damp basements and water-damaged wood attract carpenter ant colonies. Untreated, satellite nests spread. Signs: winged swarmers in spring, sawdust near deck joists, persistent ant trails from outdoor wood.

Lone star ticks in Buffalo can cause alpha-gal syndrome — a red meat allergy. Signs: small dark ticks attached to skin, sudden onset of meat sensitivity, hives 4–8 hours after eating beef or pork.

Stinging insect deaths are rare but serious — anaphylaxis risk is highest for Buffalo residents with bee/wasp allergies. Signs: nests in shrubs, sheds, or playground equipment, repeated stings from disturbing a hidden colony.

Invade Buffalo homes in large numbers each fall seeking warmth. Hard to eliminate without professional help. Signs: odor when crushed, clusters near windows and lights.

Bed bug infestations in Buffalo multi-unit buildings often require coordinated treatment across multiple apartments. Signs: bites only at night, bugs in headboard cracks, sweet musty odor in heavily infested rooms.
