Nestled near the Hudson River and bordering the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, West Glens Falls offers a landscape rich in natural beauty but also ripe for pest activity. The wooded areas and abundant waterways create perfect habitats for insects and rodents, which often migrate into homes seeking shelter, food, and warmth, especially as seasons change.
Cockroaches: West Glens Falls experiences cockroach infestations, primarily German and American varieties, driven indoors by fluctuating temperatures and available resources. They seek out damp, dark areas in kitchens, basements, and bathrooms, contaminating surfaces and food. Their rapid breeding cycles demand prompt professional treatment to prevent widespread infestations.
Termites: West Glens Falls is in a moderate risk zone for subterranean termites. The presence of numerous wooded lots and older homes provides ample opportunities for these pests to establish colonies. They relentlessly forage for cellulose, consuming wood silently from within, often leaving homeowners unaware of the damage until it becomes extensive and costly to repair.
