While bugs and other pests seem to be out and about all summer long, many take cover for the winter season. Some pests make nests outdoors, but others find their way inside homes when seeking food and shelter from the cold. These are some of the most common winter pests that you might need to contact Monmouth County pest control experts about.
German Cockroaches
German cockroaches are big brown bugs that are commonly seen in bathrooms and kitchens, where they search for food and water. These pests can spread germs, ruin food and irritate symptoms of asthma and allergies in humans.
House Mice
These mice typically make their nests in basements, attics and other dark, quiet areas. They can be a health hazard, since they’re capable of spreading Salmonella and other diseases to humans. Their gnawing and chewing can also cause property damage and raise the risk of electrical fires.
Brown Recluse Spiders
These spiders aren’t very large, but they have a venomous bite that can cause serious damage to humans. This makes it important to protect your home from these pests. They’re usually found in closets, basements and other dark areas, where they nest in boxes, clothes and other items.
