The First Day Of Spring Awakens Many Pests

A little bit of warmth and…wham!  Somehow, from somewhere, insects both big and small begin to emerge.  Turn your porch light on at night and don’t be surprised to see moths flying around and insects on the windows peeping indoors.  Indoors and outdoors there are already spiders on the hunt ready to eat any tiny bugs that they happen to come across.

The awakening of insects means trouble for home and business owners report Monmouth County, NJ pest control experts.  It won’t take long before pavement ants will begin their march along the sides of buildings, sometimes making their way indoors.

Odorous house ants prefer to nest outdoors but will head inside on a hunt for something sweet to eat.  They will arrive in mass and scatter throughout a kitchen covering the floor, counter, pet food dishes, trash can, and any crumbs or unwashed dishes they can find.  They are well known for their ability to make their way into boxes of cereal, cookies, crackers, or other types of human food, causing them to become contaminated.

The Pharaoh ant can be difficult to see as they are very tiny measuring only about 1/16th of an inch.  These pesky critters also have a sweet tooth as they seek out solid and liquid sweets in the human environment.  Pharaoh ants cannot withstand the cold temperatures of New Jersey report Monmouth County, NJ pest control professionals.  Pharaoh ants are extremely difficult to control as they can have up to 200 queens within a colony.  Once they invade a building, the colony will split into many different satellite colonies making eradication impossible by the average person.  Once they find their way into a building, they are there to stay until they are eliminated by a licensed pest control professional.
