New Jersey pest control professionals warn that the wet weather will bring an onslaught of unwanted pests to your New Jersey home or business. Different types of pests are on the move as they seek shelter when the wet weather threatens their environment. Heavy storms and even regular rain can drive a variety of ant species indoors. Once they establish themselves inside, they can be difficult to eliminate without the help of a New Jersey pest control expert.
The warmer spring and summer temperatures and the wet weather are prime breeding grounds for mosquito populations warn New Jersey pest control professionals. There are 175 known mosquito species within the United States. These shrewd bloodsucking pests are attracted by heat, movement, and carbon dioxide. When outdoors, it’s hard to avoid mosquitos because they can smell their target meal from an impressive 50 meters away.
Mosquitos need stagnant water in order to lay their eggs. Many homeowners don’t realize that there are items around their home that make for perfect breeding grounds for mosquitos. Bird baths, children’s toys, flower pots, buckets, clogged gutters and wheelbarrows can be a mosquito haven. Protecting yourself from mosquitos can be tricky. Consumers have the choice of slathering themselves in insect repellant that contains pesticides such as DEET, Picaridin, or IR3535. Although effective, they must be used with care, and reapplication is necessary. There are also alternatives to chemical based mosquito repellents available, but those have mostly proven to be short-lived and ineffective solutions.
