Why Setauket and East Setauket Homeowners Shouldn’t Wait to Call Pest Control

As fall settles in across Suffolk County, Long Island, cooler nights send pests scrambling indoors for warmth and food. While you’re getting cozy, mice, rats, roaches, spiders, and crickets are doing the same — only in your walls, attics, and basements.

Each October, Pestify Pest Control sees a major increase in calls from both homeowners and business owners who discover that pests have already made themselves at home.
Here’s how to stay one step ahead with proactive fall pest control in Suffolk County, Long Island before winter hits.

Rodents Are Looking for Shelter

October marks the start of rodent season in Suffolk County, Long Island. As temperatures drop, mice and rats look for shelter anywhere warm, dry, and safe. Once they find an opening, they can:

• Chew through wires, insulation, and packaging
• Contaminate food and surfaces
• Reproduce rapidly — one pair can produce up to 200 offspring in a season

Prevention Tip:
Inspect your home’s foundation and garage doors for cracks or gaps. Seal openings around pipes and vents, store pet food in sealed containers, and schedule a professional rodent inspection before temperatures drop further.

🪳 Roaches Thrive on Warmth and Moisture

Even clean homes and businesses attract cockroaches when the weather turns cool. They thrive in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas — anywhere they can find moisture, warmth, and food crumbs.
For restaurants and commercial kitchens, this time of year can be especially risky, as roaches multiply quickly behind appliances and drains.

Prevention Tip:
Keep surfaces dry, eliminate grease buildup, and empty garbage regularly. If you manage a restaurant or office building, schedule an after-hours commercial treatment to prevent infestations before the holiday rush.

🕷️ Spiders and Crickets Are Moving In

As leaves fall and temperatures dip, spiders and crickets move indoors to escape the cold.
Spiders weave webs in corners, basements, and attics, while crickets settle into damp, dark areas and can quickly become a noisy nuisance.

Prevention Tip:
Vacuum corners regularly, declutter storage areas, and seal gaps under doors and windows. Professional fall pest treatments can keep spiders and crickets from turning your basement into their winter hideaway.
