Ronkonkoma's central Long Island location, with its proximity to **Lake Ronkonkoma** and surrounding wooded residential areas, creates a diverse environment where pests thrive. As pests seek water and shelter, they frequently infiltrate homes, especially during extreme weather.
Cockroaches: Ronkonkoma sees its share of German and American cockroaches, often drawn to moisture sources common in suburban homes. They infiltrate kitchens, bathrooms, and basements through cracks in foundations or gaps around pipes. Look for:
- Small, dark droppings resembling coffee grounds
- Musky odors in enclosed spaces
- Live sightings, especially at night near food or water
Termites: New York, including Ronkonkoma, falls into a moderate to high-risk zone for termites. Subterranean termites are the primary concern, silently eroding wooden structures from the inside out. Regularly check your home's foundation and crawl spaces for mud tubes or discarded wings.
