Professional Termite Control Made Easy For Valley Stream Homes
One of the most destructive bugs around is termites. It can be devastating when these wood-hungry insects get into older homes and modern constructions. It's critical to schedule an annual termite inspection for your home to detect these pests. When colonies go unnoticed and untreated for months or even years, termites can eat away at the structural integrity of your property.
Pied Piper Pest Control recognizes homeowners' significant problems when they have a termite infestation. In Valley Stream, termites can sneak into homes through foundation cracks or wherever soil touches wooden elements. Moisture and fungi-damaged wood in a home are also attractive to these bugs. Good ventilation, sealing entry points, and reducing moisture help deter these pests.
Subterranean termites can be quite a nuisance for residents. Other types of termites may also be a burden. When these insects damage your home, you may see mud tubes, excavated tunnels, or piles of termite frass.
Pied Piper Pest Control offers unique termite control and treatment prevention packages. We can apply live bait or drilling and trenching treatments to exclude termites. For repairs, we are more than happy to recommend quality contractors to preserve your home.
Protect your home from terrible termites and their destruction. Call Pied Piper Pest Control to inspect and treat your home for termites.
How To Tell If It's Valley Stream Ants In Your Home
When you live in Valley Stream, it's common to have unwanted visits from ants. However, more than one type might become a pest. Learning to differentiate between ants, termites, or other similar insects is vital. Many ants linger around rooms with plenty of moisture and food sources.
Pied Piper Pest Control has the experience and tools to provide optimal ant control for homes. Excluding ants is a pain because these tiny bugs can hide in narrow, dark crevices and cracks out of sight.
Seeing a single ant around your home may not be cause for concern, but multiple ants are a sign that a colony has begun nearby. Ants are social creatures and live in large groups. They often send out scouts to find nearby sources of food and water. An ant in your home one day can easily turn into a trail of ants the next.
Ants are attracted to food, moisture, and sheltered areas. When you have ants, these insects may hang around your bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, or near entrances.
If you are noticing an increase in ants in or around your home, consider signing up for our Rest Easy or Rest Easy Plus service packages. These provide quarterly servicing of your home's exterior, free re-services, and cover ants and other pests.

The Trick To Keeping Roaches Out Of Your Valley Stream Home
Cockroaches in Valley Stream are skilled invaders and can easily slip inside the smallest cracks around your property. If you want to keep roaches out of your Valley Stream home, the trick is to make your property as cockroach-proof as possible.
The first step into cockroach-proofing your home is sealing cracks that appear around windows, doors, and the foundation. Reinforce this by utilizing weatherstripping and sturdy window and door screens to ensure roaches stay on the outside.
Other easy cockroach deterrent steps include storing leftover food properly and sealing trash bags to prevent the odor from attracting roaches—clear outdoor areas of long grasses and debris piles where roaches like to hide. Also, eliminate moisture issues and humid conditions that might attract this pest.
For more information on keeping roaches far away from your Valley Stream home, contact Pied Piper Pest Control.

The Damage And Disruptions Crickets Can Cause In Your Valley Stream Home
It's amazing the different types of insects that can invade your home. One fascinating pest is none other than the cricket. These bugs will jump around, chirp, and are difficult to exclude without the help of a professional pest control company. Cave crickets don't chirp but are frequent pests for residents in Valley Stream.
Pied Piper Pest Control knows how tough it is to get crickets out of your house. There are so many places for these insects to hide. Cave crickets love to hang out in dark, damp spaces like basements and crawl spaces. If your home has a lot of clutter and food sources for these pests, you may need professional exclusion services.
Homeowners are right to be concerned about possible damages or problems if they have an infestation. Crickets can do the following:
- Large populations may chew and leave holes in clothing, fabric, paper, or plants.
- Some crickets may chirp and keep you up at night.
- Like any pest, left untreated cricket populations will grow and become more and more of a nuisance over time.
Get help with pesky crickets that refuse to leave your home by calling Pied Piper Pest Control for a cricket control treatment.
