Why Suffolk

Why Suffolk Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Crop processing and on-farm storage set the pattern. Peanuts, corn and soybeans are dried and held here in volume, and stored-product moths and beetles that build up in that material travel out with feed, seed and equipment into houses and outbuildings well away from the plants themselves.

Distance shapes the rest of it. Properties out here sit surrounded by field rather than by other gardens, so when land is harvested or turned there is nowhere for the resident rodents to go except the one building in sight, and outbuildings absorb the first wave before the house does.

Common Questions

Suffolk Pest Questions, Answered

Small moths in the pantry and the feed room.
Those are stored-product species, and in a farming area they have more starting points than in town. Track down the infested sack or packet rather than treating the room, bin it, vacuum the shelf seams and move what is left into containers that actually seal. Cardboard will not stop them.
Everything arrives at once after harvest.
That is exactly what happens on isolated ground. Cover disappears in a couple of days and there is one building in sight. Getting the outbuildings treated and the house sealed before the machinery runs is worth more than anything done afterwards.
Should the barn be treated as well as the house?
Out here, yes, and usually first. The barn holds the food and the shelter, so it carries the population; the house only receives what spills over. Treating the house alone means repeating the same job every year.
Wasps in the equipment shed every summer.
Open sheds are close to ideal for them, and they return to sites that have worked before. Clearing nests in late spring while they are small is far safer than dealing with a full colony in August around machinery.
Termites this far from the coast still?
Yes. The whole coastal plain here holds moisture, the water table is high and the soil rarely dries out properly, so subterranean colonies stay active for more of the year than they would in the Piedmont.
