Pest Control In Jericho, NY

We’ve got a lot going for us here in Jericho. The golden sand of Jones Beach Island is right down the road, and the Milleridge Inn offers tons of family fun. On the flip side, however, Jericho pest control is no easy feat. Between the significant city pests like roaches and rodents, the high-humidity pests like mosquitoes, and the frigid winters driving pests indoors to escape the snow and cold, it can be tough to keep vermin out of your Jericho home. The good news is you don’t have to go it alone. With our same-day services and expert technicians, we can help keep both your residential and commercial properties pest-free here at Pied Piper Pest Control!

Unfortunately, rodents are one of the most common pests we deal with here. While it might be tempting to buy some mouse traps and call it a day, we highly recommend you call a professional for assistance with the rodents in your Jericho home. Below are some diseases you at risk for if rodents have invaded your home:

• Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCMV): All rodents are capable of spreading this disease. This can cause severe neurological problems in humans, and you can contract this by being exposed to rodent droppings, urine, saliva, or nesting materials.
• Salmonella: This is a common disease spread by all rodents. As these pests scurry across your counters or anywhere you store or prepare food, anyone who eats in your home can contract this disease. This is a severe food poisoning illness; symptoms include fever, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
• Hantavirus: This illness spreads in rodent urine and when feces turn to dust, eventually spreading particles in the air. By breathing these pathogens in, you can contract this virus. Symptoms include fever, chills, and aches and pains. If left untreated, Hantavirus can cause severe shortness of breath and can progress to kidney failure.

In addition to the physical damage rodents can do to your property, rodents are capable of causing some pretty severe damage to human health (see: The Bubonic Plague). At Pied Piper Pest Control, our technicians have the tools and treatments needed to exterminate these pests without anyone getting ill safely. Let us help you today!

Cockroaches are on par with rodents when it comes to the level of damage they can do to your health. These disgusting vermin are known or suspected to spread nearly four-dozen different pathogens because they hang out in some horrifying haunts. The places roaches love to hang out include the rotting flesh of dead animals, feces, and garbage.

When they come from these gross places into your pristine kitchen, they drag all the pathogens picked up with them (not to mention that they have no compunction about pooping in your food stores and on your food prep surfaces). That means a cockroach infestation can give you all kinds of food-borne illnesses that can be severe and even potentially deadly.  

Never fear, though, as we can defend you from these dangerous pests and many others – including spider crickets, termites, bed bugs, and many more – here at Pied Piper Pest Control!

Silverfish may look intimidating, with their pronounced antennae and slithering movements. However, these pests are not a serious health risk to Jericho homeowners at all. That said, there are still a few key issues that they can cause once they invade properties. The biggest issue that silverfish can cause, beyond being a nuisance, is their ability to eat cellulose materials. Silverfish are notorious for nibbling away at books, fabrics, furniture, and pantry items once they’ve invaded a property. Additionally, the presence of silverfish can attract other pests like earwigs, centipedes, and spiders that all feast on silverfish.

At Pied Piper Pest Control, we know that silverfish are attracted to moisture in varying amounts, which makes them very difficult to keep away. We include coverage for silverfish in our ongoing residential pest control programs because of this fact. Our expert technicians service homes on a quarterly basis and provide comprehensive inspections during this time to understand the ways that silverfish are interacting with homes. We use methods like laying granular bait, sealing up entry points, and applying perimeter barrier protection. If any silverfish appear between these regularly-scheduled visits, we’ll provide no-cost re-treatments until we’ve eliminated them entirely.

Termites are some of the sneakiest yet most damaging pests that can inflict themselves on your Jericho property. Each year, termites are responsible for billions of dollars in total damage across the country, which includes crops, buildings, homes, and other assets. Even though termites are responsible for so much destruction, they are actually able to go undetected for prolonged periods of time. Here are some of the important signs to look for that might indicate termite troubles:

• Termite swarmers, which are winged reproductive members that leave their colony to start new ones
• Ceilings that sink
• Wood that is blistered or swollen
• Walls that sound hollow when you tap them
• The presence of mud tubes or mazes on walls or foundations
• Windows that you can’t close and doors that jam
• Scratching sounds from inside of walls
• Piles of frass, which is termite excrement that resembles sawdust

If you notice any of the previously mentioned signs on your property, the best thing to do is call the pros at Pied Piper Pest Control. We customize our services to your exact needs, whether that involves eliminating termites or preventing them. For more information on our termite control services in Jericho, call us today.
