Why is tick pressure so extreme in Ridge near the Long Island Pine Barrens?+
Ridge is entirely surrounded by Long Island Central Pine Barrens protected ecosystem - over 100,000 acres of woodland with massive deer populations. Properties adjacent to preserved forest face the highest deer tick density on Long Island. Professional spring and fall barrier spray programs targeting the yard perimeter and wood-line edge are absolutely essential for Ridge families.
Are carpenter ants especially destructive in Ridge pine barrens homes?+
Ridge extensive pine and oak forest creates outstanding carpenter ant pressure, with large outdoor colonies in stumps and pine forest debris sending satellite colonies into homes. Homes bordering the pine barrens face among the highest carpenter ant exposure in all of Suffolk County. We treat with targeted baiting and perimeter spray addressing the complete colony.
What stinging insects are most dangerous in Ridge pine barrens border properties?+
Bald-faced hornets build very large aerial nests in Ridge trees in late summer, while yellow jackets create extensive ground nests in sandy soil lawn areas near woodland borders. Both species are extremely aggressive when disturbed. Our technicians safely treat colonies at the source with residual product for complete elimination.
Do mosquitoes from pine barrens wetlands create problems in Ridge?+
Pine barrens freshwater wetlands and ponds throughout the Ridge area breed aggressive mosquito species throughout summer. Barrier spray programs applied every 3-4 weeks dramatically reduce adult mosquito populations in yard vegetation.
