Some pests however might appear to be dormant because you can’t see them, but they are actually up to their sneaky ways and attacking New Jersey homes in massive quantities. Termites are a year-round pest that is found throughout the United States report NJ Pest Control professionals. The eastern subterranean termite causes the most damage to homes in the United States each year.
Eastern subterranean termite colonies can range from 60,000 to over a million termites. More than 600,000 homes in the United States will suffer significant structural damage each year because of these pests. Over $5 billion will be spent on the property damage caused by subterranean termites, of which, not a penny will be reimbursed by any insurance company!
The subterranean termite is the only termite that you will find in New Jersey. As the warmer days return to New Jersey, termite activity becomes more noticeable. Termites will typically be found swarming in New Jersey on a warm day just after a rain fall. Termites are not good flyers. Once they reach the surface, the winged reproductives take flight and drift with the wind. After finding a mate, they land, drop their wings and begin their trek underground to develop a new termite colony. Termite swarms can number into the thousands. Thankfully, some termites fall victim to birds and other prey during the swarming process.
Termites are not a do-it-yourself type of pest. They will attack your home quietly causing extensive and expensive structural damage. Allison Pest Control offers expert termite pest control services in New Jersey. Call us today for service in Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex Counties.
