Rodent Droppings: The Hidden Health Risks You Can’t Ignore townandcountrysolutions.com/rodent-droppin…

The Town & Country team had the absolute best time hanging out with an amazing local Home School Co-Op! We had a blast talking all about insects and learning exactly what they’re looking for when they wander indoors (hint: they usually just want a snack and a break from the chilly Rochester weather, just like us!). We also shared our team's gameplan for how we keep those unwanted bugs outside where they belong, so our homes stay comfy and pest-free. It’s always a great day when we get to step out of the trucks and share our passion with our neighbors. A huge shoutout to these bright young students for being such fantastic listeners! Have questions about the critters trying to share your home this season? Drop them below or give our friendly team a call for a no-pressure chat at 𝟱𝟴𝟱-𝟰𝟮𝟲-𝟱𝟬𝟮𝟰! 📞👋

The Science of Squeaks: Understanding the House Mouse townandcountrysolutions.com/understanding-…

Happy Galentines Day!" 🩷 We understand that self-care is important and nobody wants to deal with stinky bugs this weekend. We've come up with some helpful tips to keep those creepy crawlies away. Which "love bug" do you think is worse the Stink Bug or the Kissing Bug? 🙅‍♀️ Here is the reality for the Finger Lakes region: 1️⃣ The "False Thaw" is Coming: The temperature spike this weekend will trick overwintering Stink Bugs into thinking spring has sprung. They are about to emerge from your walls looking for heat. 2️⃣ The "Kissing Bug" Myth: Don't let the headlines scare you. True Kissing Bugs (Triatomines) are tropical blood-feeders that can't survive the deep freeze we just had. The bug crashing your party is a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug . It’s a herbivore, not a vampire. 3️⃣ The Golden Rule: Do not squish them. If you crush them, they release a defense pheromone that smells like rancid cilantro (and attracts more). The Fix: Use a dry vacuum hose. Suck them up, then empty the canister outside immediately. 🔍 Need a Pro? If the vacuum isn't keeping up and the stink bugs keep swarming, your home needs treatment! 👇 Get on the Spring Schedule: 📞 Call: (585) 426-5024 #galentinesday2026 #galentinesday #stinkbugvskissingbug #stinkbug #kissingbug #chagasdisease #rochesterny #townandcountrypest #buffalony #syracuseny

Keep Critters Out: How to Pest-Proof Your Home in 5 Steps townandcountrysolutions.com/keep-critters-…

We got "bugged" on this one. 🤔 Correction: The pest in a previous post was Beetle Larvae, not a Book Louse. Why the mix-up? In the Finger Lakes region, these two are the "lookalike" champions of the pest world. But the treatment is totally different: Lice = Fix the moisture.  Larvae = Find the food source. When we learn something new—or get corrected by a sharp viewer—we pass that knowledge straight to you. Spotted something weird? Snap a pic and send it over. We love a challenge!

Are you an avid bookworm? 📚🪱 Well, Drew "literary" found one. Our pest technician came across this book that had a particular small hole inside. After turning a few pages, he discovered that booklice or psocids, were living inside their cozy little novel to stay snug for the winter. Older pieces of literature were known for having large margins inside the covers. This makes it the perfect home for these harmless critters. Have you come across a bookworm in real life?

We hope you have a peaceful and inspiring day. 💙

If you are setting traps in Rochester or the Finger Lakes this weekend, leave the cheddar in the fridge. ⛔️🧀 The Science: Mice trying to survive a New York winter don't care about calcium... they are desperate for CALORIES. They need high-fat fuel to stay warm. 🌡️ Why Cheese Fails: It dries up quickly in the dry winter air (thanks to your furnace). It snaps off the trigger easily, giving the mouse a free meal. Why Peanut Butter Wins: It is packed with fat and sugar. It is sticky. It forces the rodent to "commit" and pull on the trigger to get the bait. 💥 Don't feed them. Catch them. #mousetrap #pestcontrol #rochesterny #fingerlakes #rodentcontrol #bestmousebait #winterpests

🏙️ In multi-unit housing, if you don't find the ONE apartment causing the problem, you will never stop the spread. ⛔️ You can treat the neighboring units all day, but until you clear the hoard in the Source Unit, bed bugs will keep you from sleeping tight. 💪 Clearing and treating the "Source" is the only way to stop the liability. #bedbugs #rochesterNY #pestcontrol #hoardingcleanup #propertymanagement #satisfyingcleaning
