What we treat
Stink Bugs, Termites and Bed Bugs Along the Genesee River
Brown marmorated stink bugs
Cornell says these bugs enter wall voids in fall through gaps around windows, doors, outlets and light fixtures. Adults wake around April and leave. Crushing or vacuuming releases a strong odor, and handling crushed bugs can irritate skin. Sealing gaps is the key step; vacuums and glue-board light traps reduce what is already indoors.
Termites
Cornell describes long, narrow strings of dry mud on foundation walls and posts as termite tubes. Wood touching soil, cracked concrete cellar floors and framing near furnaces, chimneys and water heaters are vulnerable. Winged swarmers appear from February to May. Probe soft wood with a screwdriver, and inspect foundations inside and out each year.
Mosquitoes
Cornell lists Culex mosquitoes as West Nile carriers in New York, feeding at dusk, night and dawn. They breed in small pools of stagnant water, and a bottle cap holds enough. Clean gutters early in spring, empty tarps, tires and recycling bins, and apply Bti where water cannot be dumped.
Bed bugs
Cornell says bed bugs feed only on blood, cause itchy welts and are not known to transmit disease. They hitchhike on belongings into homes, offices and public places, a real concern in a city of mostly rental homes. Note young bugs, fecal stains or eggs, and be careful with pesticides, since improper use can pose more risk.
Norway rats
Cornell names the Norway rat among rodents that gnaw wires, door edges and dumpster lids and burrow in ways that undermine sidewalks. Droppings and urine can contaminate food and trigger asthma. Remove food, water and clutter, seal openings, and use traps where you can retrieve them, since bait alone is not recommended.
Spotted something?
Stink bugs start looking for winter shelter, and Cornell says they enter through gaps at windows, doors and light fixtures. Caulk and screen before the first cold nights. Rodents also look for food, water and shelter indoors as temperatures drop.
Snow cover seals buildings and keeps indoor guests hidden in wall voids. Check basements and furnace areas, where Cornell says termites often work. Swarmers can appear as early as February, so winged insects indoors deserve a close look.
Stink bugs wake and leave structures around April. Clear gutters early so mosquitoes cannot use them, and inspect foundations after snowmelt for mud tubes or soft wood. Spring is a good time to trim shrubs back from siding.
Culex mosquitoes breed in stagnant pools and tiny containers, so empty buckets, saucers and recycling bins. Change birdbath water twice a week, and keep window screens tight. Wear loose, light clothing outdoors at dusk and dawn.

They are seeking winter shelter. Cornell says brown marmorated stink bugs enter wall voids through gaps around windows, doors, outlets and light fixtures. Sealing those gaps is the key prevention step. Vacuum any inside rather than crushing them, because crushed bugs release a strong smell.
Termite damage is a concern wherever wood meets damp soil. Cornell advises yearly foundation checks, watching for mud tubes and winged swarmers between February and May, and probing soft wood. A termite inspection can document what shows around the foundation. Request a free estimate online.
Confirm them first. Cornell says to look for young or adult bugs, fecal stains and eggs, and notes they travel on belongings between homes. Pesticides misused can pose more risk than the bugs, so ask for a bed bug treatment estimate before spraying anything yourself.
Cornell says Culex mosquitoes spread West Nile virus in New York and bite at dusk, night and dawn. Empty containers, tarps and gutters, repair screens and use Bti where water must stay. Treat the yard first, because these mosquitoes stay close to where they hatched.

Rochester sits on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, with the Genesee River running through the middle of town. About two thirds of households here rent, so what happens next door often matters as much as what happens in your own unit.
Rochester held 211,328 residents in the 2020 census and serves as the seat of Monroe County. The Genesee River bisects the city, and its three cataracts, including the 80-foot High Falls, drew the founders for water power. An Erie Canal aqueduct crossed the river in 1823. Elevation runs from 230 feet at the lowest point to 702 feet at the highest.
Wikipedia describes a humid continental climate with cold, cloudy winters, about 102 inches of snow a year and roughly 35 inches of precipitation. About two thirds of households rent, with 66.9 percent renters in 2020. Dense rental blocks, river dampness and cold seasons give bed bugs, wood-damaging insects and fall invaders room to work.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Rochester property
Unique to Rochester
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Rochester details that shape every plan we write here.
Walk the foundation first. Look for mud tubes, soft wood at sills, and damp corners where soil touches framing. Keep soil sloped away, stack firewood off the ground and fix leaking downspouts. If winged insects show up between February and May, collect a few for identification before you call anyone.
In a shared building, treat the walls as common property. Report bites or stains to the landlord in writing, keep luggage and used furniture off the bed until inspected, and store food in lidded containers. Seal gaps around window frames, then vacuum stink bugs instead of crushing them.
