No, we’re not talking about the tourists or visitors that come to the beaches and the city each summer. When our exterminators at Parkway Pest Services talk about occasional invaders, they are talking about the pests that visit our homes periodically throughout the year. Most occasional invaders are simply a nuisance although some prove to be quite difficult to get rid of which is why our Long Island and NY pest control pros recommend prevention in order to avoid these occasional pests altogether.

Helpful Pest Control Tips For Occasional Invaders
Since most occasional invaders are not going to cause harm to you, your family, or your home, there is no need to panic if you do find them. But since some like box elder bugs or lady bugs, for example, tend to infest in rather larger numbers, it is best to try to prevent them from invading your home altogether. How is this possible? Here are a few pest prevention tips from our Long Island exterminators on how to prevent occasional invaders from being a nuisance in your New York home.
Inspect the exterior of the home. Are there any cracks, holes, or other openings along the foundation? How about the window or door frames? If so, make sure to seal off these openings with caulking or a screen in order to keep the critters outside. Next, check for areas that are excessively damp, perhaps the bathroom or basement. Go ahead and repair any leaky pipes or even install a de-humidifier to help reduce excess moisture as well as the pests that thrive in moist environments.
