Know your pest before you fight it

Five service guides for East Hampton homes, one for each pest covered on this site. Each explains identification, why the pest thrives here, prevention that fits local houses, and the point where professional treatment makes sense.

Rats & Mice Termites Ants Ticks Cockroaches
Service 01 · Rodents

Rat & mice control

Rodents need warmth, food and a gap the width of a pencil. This guide walks the whole job the way a good technician would: confirm the species, find the entry points older coastal homes tend to have, seal them with materials that hold, and trap what's already inside.

  • Identify house mice vs Norway rats from the signs they leave
  • Map the entry points foundations, crawl spaces and garages hide
  • Exclusion materials and trapping order that actually hold

Service 02 · Wood-destroying

Termite control

Termites work silently for years before anyone notices. This guide covers the signals that surface first — mud tubes, spring swarmers, shed wings, softened trim — and why an early inspection is the cheapest termite decision a homeowner can make.

  • Tell swarmers from flying ants in under a minute
  • Spot mud tubes and damaged wood before the damage spreads
  • Understand what a professional inspection and treatment involve

Service 03 · Kitchen invaders

Ant control

Wiping the trail never works for long, because the colony stays put. This guide separates pavement ants from carpenter ants, explains why bait beats spray every time, and covers the moisture fixes that make a kitchen boring to ants.

  • Tell pavement ants from carpenter ants, and why it matters
  • Use the bait-first approach that reaches the colony
  • Fix the damp wood that invites carpenter ants back

Service 04 · Yard pests

Tick control

Deer ticks quest at the edges of lawns and woodland — exactly where children and dogs play. This guide maps where they hide, how to reshape the habitat they need, and what a professional yard treatment actually involves.

  • Know the deer tick from the lone star tick, and the seasons
  • Reshape borders, woodpiles and play areas to push ticks out
  • Handle a bite correctly, with CDC guidance as the reference

Service 05 · Indoor pests

Cockroach control

Roaches follow water, warmth and crumbs into basements and kitchens. This guide covers the two species East Hampton homes actually see, the hiding spots that matter, and why sanitation plus gel bait beats foggers every time.

  • Tell German from American cockroaches, and read the signs
  • Remove the water, food and shelter triangle they run on
  • Place gel bait and monitors where they actually work
