You know what’s easier than getting rid of a wasp nest in July? 🐝

Stopping it in June. 🚫

Right now, many wasps and hornets are just beginning to build nests around homes, decks, barns, and garages. Catching them early can prevent a much bigger issue later in the summer.

If you’re already seeing increased wasp activity, now’s the time to act.

Nuisance wildlife is one of those things most homeowners never think about… until they hear scratching in the walls at 2am.

Squirrels, raccoons, bats, skunks, and other wildlife can cause major damage once they find their way into attics, crawlspaces, garages, and sheds.

The good news? The earlier you address it, the easier (and less expensive) it usually is to solve.

What pests are most active in the Finger Lakes in June?

🐜 Ants — especially around kitchens, patios, and foundations
🕷 Spiders — garages, basements, sheds, and corners
🐝 Wasps & hornets — starting to build nests under decks and eaves
🦟 Mosquitoes — standing water = breeding grounds
🐭 Mice — yes, even in summer
🦝 Raccoons & squirrels — especially around attics and garages

If you’re noticing more activity around your home, you’re not imagining it. June is when many pests really ramp up for the season.

You can wait until pests become a problem… or you can stop them before they move in.

Summer in the Finger Lakes means ants in kitchens, wasps around decks, and spiders finding their way inside. Preventative pest control helps stop infestations before they start — saving you time, stress, and often money in the long run.

The best time to treat pests? Before they settle in and get comfortable.

🛠 DIY pest control can help with small problems — but recurring infestations often need a professional eye.

If you’re constantly battling the same pests over and over, it may be time to address the source instead of the symptoms.

Cute? Absolutely. Harmless? Not so much. 🐿️

Our team recently removed EIGHT flying squirrels from a single trap during a nuisance wildlife job. And while these little guys are undeniably adorable, they can cause serious damage once they move into your attic or walls. Chewed wires, insulation damage, strange noises at night, and unwanted messes are all common signs of a wildlife issue.

The good news? These flyers are being safely relocated… after enjoying a well-earned apple snack first. 🍎

If you’ve been hearing scratching, scurrying, or bumping around in your home, don’t ignore it. Custom Pest Control can help safely and humanely handle nuisance wildlife before small problems turn into costly repairs.

❌ Myth: Clean homes don’t get pests. This is tempting to believe, but it's simply not true.

Even spotless homes can develop pest problems. Weather, moisture, nearby construction, landscaping, and seasonal changes all play a role.

👀 You’d be surprised where pests hide. Behind refrigerators. Inside grills. Under dog bowls. Even inside outdoor decorations. What’s the strangest place you’ve ever found a bug or critter?

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Their sacrifice is the reason we enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted - from quiet country roads to time spent with family, friends, and community.

From all of us at Custom Pest Control, thank you to those we’ve lost, and the families who carry their legacy forward.

We are wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

We hope to see you for this great community tradition! 🇺🇲

We hope to see a great community turnout for the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 25 at 10am, followed by a ceremony at Seneca Street Park. This type of community gathering is part of that makes small town living so special.

The route steps off at the school, proceeds down Water and Main Streets, a left on Hollister Street, a left on Bell Street, and a left into Seneca Street, concluding at the park.
