Mice are moving in. Seal it before the first frost. ❄️

Every fall in Greater Portland, mice head for the same places: gaps around basement bulkheads, where siding meets the foundation, utility line entries, and under garage doors. A mouse only needs a dime-sized opening. Once the first frost hits, they're already inside the walls.

Our fall rodent exclusion service finds those entry points and seals them with copper mesh and sealant — like our technician is doing here on a classic Maine fieldstone foundation — and pairs it with monitoring so you know the problem is handled.

Pest facts: wasps & hornets 🐝

Late September is peak season for yellowjackets and hornets in Maine. Three things worth knowing:

FACT: Yellowjacket nests peak in September, with thousands of workers in a mature colony.
FACT: A wasp can sting more than once — unlike a honey bee, it does not lose its stinger.
FACT: In fall, wasps switch from hunting insects to chasing sugar, which is why they crowd soda cans, fallen apples and trash bins.

If a nest has shown up under an eave, in a wall void or in the ground near your Portland-area home, don't reach for the hardware-store spray — call (207) 770-0274 or visit robbinspest.com and we'll take care of it safely.

Fall rodent prep starts at the back door. 🐭

Mice and rats look for warm buildings the moment September nights turn cool, and a restaurant or office back entrance in the Old Port is exactly what they're after: a gap under a steel door, a dumpster corral, a crack in old brick. Here our technician is setting a tamper-resistant bait station and checking the door sweep at a Portland business — the kind of small fixes that keep a fall problem from becoming a winter one.
