Something's moving in the basement… 🎃 House centipedes look terrifying, but they rarely bite.

They hunt the other bugs down there. Seeing them every night means there's moisture and food. Free inspection:

Pale, humpbacked "spiders" that jump at you in the basement? Those are camel crickets, also called spider crickets or cave crickets. 🦗

Good news: they don't bite, they aren't venomous, and they can't even chirp. The catch is that unlike the crickets in your yard, camel crickets don't visit. They live in damp basements and crawl spaces all year and breed there, chewing through stored cardboard, paper and clothes.

✔️ Seeing them in winter? They live there. It isn't a seasonal thing
✔️ A dehumidifier (under 50% humidity) is your best DIY move
✔️ Skip the store sprays. They just push crickets deeper into the house

What they eat, what your count means, and how to get rid of them for good 👇

Those orange "ladybugs" covering the sunny side of your house this month? They're Asian lady beetles, and yes, they can pinch. 🐞

It feels like a pinprick and might leave a small red mark. They aren't poisonous, they don't carry disease, and they won't damage your home. The real problems are the numbers, the smell, and the yellow stains they leave if you crush them.

✔️ Vacuum them instead of squishing them
✔️ Skip the foggers. Most of the beetles are inside the walls, where sprays can't reach
✔️ Seeing them at your windows in winter? Same beetles. They moved in this fall

Here's how to tell them from native ladybugs, and what actually helps 👇

Hundreds of "ladybugs" on the sunny side of your house?

Look closely behind the head. A black "M" or "W" on the white patch means it's a multicolored Asian lady beetle, not the native ladybug you grew up with.

The good news: they don't breed indoors or damage your home. They're just looking for somewhere warm to spend the winter.

The bad news: they come in by the hundreds, and crushing them leaves a smelly yellow stain.

What to do right now:
√ Vacuum the ones inside (a knee-high stocking over the hose keeps the smell out of your vacuum)
× Don't squish or sweep them
× Skip the foggers.

They can't reach the ones in your walls.

Keeping them out works from the outside.

Our exterior barrier treatment covers the foundation, windows, doors, and soffits where lady beetles, stink bugs, and boxelder bugs get in.

Found one of these running across the basement floor?

That's a wolf spider, and this is their time of year. The good news: they're not dangerous. They don't build webs or nest in your house; most of the ones you see in the fall are males wandering in from outside.

But if you keep finding them, it's usually a clue. Spiders follow their food, and in September and October the insects they eat are gathering around your foundation. Spray the spider you see and more will follow.

Our spider control treats what they're following:
√ A full perimeter walk to find where they're getting in and what they're feeding on
√ An exterior barrier on the foundation, windows, doors, and soffits
√ Fewer spiders and fewer insects making it inside

Already seeing them indoors? We can still help. Free inspections and estimates.

A health inspector walks into your kitchen and asks for your pest control records.

Can you produce them in under two minutes?

Most Long Island businesses we work with have a pest control arrangement.

Far fewer have a documented plan that would actually hold up — with monitoring logs on-site, written activity thresholds, and corrective actions closed out.

Those are three different things, and inspectors check all three.

We wrote up what a compliant commercial pest control plan has to include in 2026 — plus a 10-point checklist you can run against whatever you have on file right now.

If you stall on three or more, your plan is a liability instead of a protection.

One thing worth knowing up front: sealing gaps and door sweeps are your maintenance team's job, not your pest control company's.

But your plan needs to name who owns each fix. That's the part inspectors actually look for.

Saw a roach in the middle of the day and figured it was a stray?

It almost never is.

Cockroaches are nocturnal — they avoid light and stay hidden.

When one is out in the open during daylight, it usually means the hiding spots behind your walls and under your appliances have gotten crowded enough to push it out.

In other words, the one you saw isn't the problem. It's the symptom.

We put together a guide to reading the signs — droppings, egg cases, shed skins, odor — and what each one actually tells you about how big the problem is and how fast it's moving.

Seeing shield-shaped bugs on your windows lately? That's the brown marmorated stink bug — and Long Island is one of the heaviest impact zones on the East Coast for them.

They don't bite or sting, but once they find a way into your walls or attic to overwinter, they're tough to get rid of — and they'll come back to the same spot next fall if the problem isn't handled right.

We put together a full guide: how to spot them (the shield shape + that cilantro-like smell are the giveaways), why Nassau County and Western Suffolk homes see such heavy pressure, and the licensed treatment window that actually stops them — mid-September is the deadline to beat.

Seeing crickets in your basement or crawlspace? It could be the start of a bigger problem.

Camel crickets, cave crickets, spider crickets, and field crickets are common throughout Long Island, especially in cool, damp areas like basements, crawlspaces, garages, and utility rooms.

While they don't bite, they can quickly become an unsettling nuisance when their numbers grow.

At Battle A Bug, we've been helping Long Island homeowners solve cricket problems since 1996.

Our experienced technicians don't just treat the crickets you see—we identify where they're hiding, locate entry points, and provide targeted treatments designed to eliminate the infestation and help prevent future problems.

√ Spider & Field Cricket Control
√ Cave (Camel) Cricket Control
√ Free In-Home Inspections & Estimates
√ NY State Licensed & Certified Technicians
√ Results 100% Guaranteed
√ Serving Nassau County & Western Suffolk County

If you've noticed crickets hopping across your basement floor or hiding in dark corners, don't wait for the population to grow.
