Struggling With Wildlife or Pests?
I’m Michael Ryder — your local pest & wildlife expert. No big-company rates. No red tape. Just honest, affordable, hands-on help. Proudly protecting Catskills & Hudson Valley homes, farms, and businesses — fast.

Our Process
Inspect
I conduct a detailed check of visible and hidden areas, documenting everything we find.
Diagnose
I identify the exact pest species, entry points, and environmental factors causing the problem.
Plan
I share safe, cost-effective options and create a customized treatment plan together.
Treat & Exclude
I apply targeted treatments, set traps if needed, and seal entry points to keep pests out.
Follow-Up & Prevent
I return for scheduled checks, seasonal maintenance, and prevention tips to stop future infestations.
I follow a clear, step-by-step process so you always know what’s happening and why:
Pest challenges change with the seasons. Here’s how I protect your property year-round:
Spring
Start strong with perimeter inspections, early termite checks, and nest prevention.
Summer
Stay bite-free with tick and mosquito treatments plus standing-water elimination.
Fall
Seal up before the cold with rodent-proofing and attic checks.
Winter
Watch for wildlife in attics and eaves — and schedule termite inspections for spring readiness.
