The Day a Century-Old Mansion Faced an Unexpected Invasion

When Michael got the call, it wasn’t your typical pest problem. The owner of a stunning century-old mansion in Scarsdale, built in the early 1900s, had noticed something odd. Scratches in the walls, strange odors, and… small droppings near the antique cabinetry. But the final straw came when a family heirloom—a meticulously carved wooden chest—had been gnawed through.

This wasn’t just an inconvenience—it was an emergency. The mansion had survived two world wars and generations of history, but now it faced an invasion of pests that could literally chew through its legacy. That’s when DLS Pest Solutions stepped in.

What set DLS Pest Solutions apart was Michael’s deep understanding of both the delicate structure of old homes and the aggressive nature of pests in Westchester County. From Scarsdale to Yonkers, pests don’t care if it’s a humble suburban home or a historic mansion—they find a way in. And in homes like these, quick fixes aren’t an option. Michael knew that blasting the place with chemicals could ruin more than just pests—it could damage the very structure of this historical gem.

Instead, DLS Pest Solutions took a surgical approach. Using advanced Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Michael’s team inspected every nook, from the ornate crown molding to the cellar’s cobbled floor. They didn’t just remove the pests—they uncovered the root cause of the infestation. Sealing off hidden entry points, DLS Pest Solutions focused on exclusion techniques, keeping future invaders at bay while maintaining the integrity of the home’s precious materials.

Westchester homes, whether in Scarsdale or Yonkers, often face unique pest problems. But with Michael and his team at DLS Pest Solutions, they’re not just fighting pests—they’re protecting the history that these homes hold. One thorough inspection, one targeted solution, and that century-old mansion? Pest-free, and safe for generations to come.

So, when you think your home is safe from pests, remember: even the most beautiful properties have their battles—and with DLS Pest Solutions, the war is already won.
