Ants enter homes seeking food, water, and shelter. And once a scout finds a reliable source of any of these, the chemical trail it leaves behind brings the rest of the colony.
Exterior treatment certainly helps. Most pests start outdoors, so if you control the population there, fewer will be around to reach your home, but that does not make outdoor pest control a full solution on its own.
Whether annual pest control is worth it depends on which pests you deal with. On Long Island, mosquitoes and ticks are seasonal. Other pests, ants, spiders, and rodents seek winter shelter, so if you have a problem with those, the answer is likely yes.
Yes. Mosquitoes strongly prefer shaded, humid, sheltered areas with dense vegetation. These are the spots that stay cool and damp during the day while they rest between feeding periods.
Coastal homes often deal with more mosquitoes. Salt marshes are some of the most productive mosquito breeding habitats in the region.
To control mosquitoes, you need to both tamp down on their breeding and treat the areas where they are resting. Neither action alone will help enough once you have a serious mosquito problem.
Barrier treatments last for about 21 days at a time. Regular reapplication is what makes it possible for mosquito treatments to work all season. A typical season will require between seven and nine treatments.
Because these treatments solve completely different problems, needing both depends entirely on the pests you are facing. A mosquito and tick barrier specifically targets the biting insects in your yard, and general pest control goes after ants, spiders, and other common household invaders.
Yes, mice don't leave your home just because winter is over. If they moved in during the colder months, they'll stay as long as they have food, water, and shelter.
The Northeast and Upper Midwest are the highest-risk regions, and Long Island is one of the most heavily affected areas in the country. New York consistently ranks among the top states for total Lyme disease cases reported each year.
Ticks don't require forests. They can thrive anywhere that has shade, ground-level moisture, leaf litter or ground cover, and wildlife hosts. That includes most Long Island yards.
