Greenlawn experiences distinct seasonal changes, including cold, damp winters and warm, often humid summers. These fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels drive pests indoors as they seek stable environments. During winter, rodents and insects invade homes for warmth, while summer humidity attracts moisture-loving pests and encourages breeding.
Cockroaches: Greenlawn's homes often encounter German and Oriental cockroaches. These resilient pests infiltrate kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, primarily seeking food scraps, moisture, and warmth. Because they breed rapidly, a small problem quickly escalates. Look for:
- Small, dark droppings resembling coffee grounds
- Foul, musty odors in affected areas
- Visible roaches scurrying at night
Termites: Greenlawn falls within a moderate risk zone for Eastern Subterranean Termites. These destructive pests thrive in damp wood and soil contact, silently eroding structural integrity. The humid summers on Long Island create ideal conditions for swarms and continued activity. Prevention focuses on managing moisture around foundations and eliminating wood-to-soil contact.
