Hauppauge features a mix of housing, from older established homes to more modern developments. Older properties, often with basements, present classic entry points like foundation cracks and deteriorating window frames. Conversely, newer construction, frequently built on slab foundations, can still offer vulnerabilities through utility penetrations or small gaps in newer, less settled materials, allowing pests to invade.
Cockroaches: Hauppauge experiences issues with German and American cockroaches. German cockroaches specifically target kitchens and bathrooms, infiltrating small cracks and voids behind appliances. American cockroaches, larger and more mobile, often enter from exterior drains or sewer systems, seeking dark, moist areas in basements and utility rooms.
Termites: Hauppauge lies within an active Eastern Subterranean Termite zone. These destructive pests silently tunnel through the soil to access wooden structures. Both older homes with exposed wood and newer homes with wood-to-ground contact are vulnerable. Detecting their presence often requires professional inspection, as they conceal their activity within walls and foundations.
