A small village in Cortland County farm country
McGraw is a compact rural village east of Cortland, with older village housing and working farmland close on every side. It is small enough that the whole village is effectively at the field edge, which sets its pest profile without much complication.
Straightforward, seasonal, exterior
The annual cycle is agricultural: cluster flies off the surrounding ground in late summer, rodents from October, overwintering insects on sunny walls, and carpenter ants anywhere water has softened wood in the older housing.
The good news is that a predictable problem is a manageable one. A timed exterior treatment in late summer and proper exclusion at the foundation and sill handle most of what a McGraw property faces, and neither is complicated — they simply have to happen before the season rather than during it.

McGraw pest control — FAQs
Do you serve McGraw?
Yes. McGraw and the surrounding rural Cortland County area are within our service area.
Why do cluster flies invade my McGraw home?
The surrounding dairy-country fields are prime cluster-fly habitat. A timed late-summer exterior barrier is the effective fix.
When should we schedule if we only do one treatment a year?
Late summer, before the cluster flies and overwintering insects gather on the walls. That single timed exterior application, paired with sealing the foundation and sill, addresses the largest share of what a property here sees. Calling in October is a season late.
