Tuckahoe experiences a transitional climate, with warm, humid summers and cold, wet winters. These seasonal shifts directly influence pest activity throughout the village. As summer temperatures rise, insect populations surge, often seeking cooler, damp indoor environments. Conversely, the colder months drive rodents and overwintering insects into homes and businesses, where they find warmth and shelter.
Cockroaches are a common problem in Tuckahoe, especially German and American species. German cockroaches thrive in kitchens and bathrooms, quickly establishing hidden colonies within residential properties. American cockroaches, often found in sewers and drains, infiltrate basements and ground-floor units, particularly when seeking moisture or warmth. Their rapid breeding makes prompt intervention critical.
Termites present a moderate risk in Tuckahoe, particularly for homes with wooden foundations or direct wood-to-soil contact. Subterranean termites are the most common and destructive species, silently tunneling through the soil to access and consume wooden structural elements. Their activity increases during warm, humid periods, necessitating regular inspections to prevent significant damage.
