Perched on the western shore of Lake Champlain and near the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, Plattsburgh's diverse geography creates a challenging pest control landscape. The cold winters drive outdoor pests indoors, while the lake provides consistent moisture, attracting a variety of insects and rodents to residential and commercial properties.
Cockroaches in Plattsburgh primarily seek warmth and moisture indoors, especially during the long, cold winters. They often infiltrate homes through utility openings, cracks in foundations, or even hitchhike on groceries or deliveries. Once inside, they rapidly establish populations in kitchens, basements, and laundry rooms, posing hygiene concerns and potential health risks.
Termites pose a moderate, though often underestimated, risk in Plattsburgh. While severe freezes can reduce their activity, subterranean termites can still thrive in areas with consistent moisture, such as basements, crawl spaces, and wood-to-soil contact points. Homeowners must remain vigilant for mud tubes or damaged wood, as early detection is crucial to mitigate extensive structural damage.
