NJ Ants<\/a> survive the cold winter months quite well by spending their time underground where the temperatures do not freeze.\u00a0 At the first sign of spring, worker ants<\/a> will begin to emerge from their colonies, clearing the way for their nest-mates to come to the surface.<\/p>\n

Many types of ants in New Jersey are considered to be nuisance pests as they make large and small colonies throughout lawns, planters, pots, and garden areas.\u00a0 Unfortunately, many ants will eventually find their way into New Jersey homes.\u00a0 A spill or crumb that is left unattended is an open invitation for these unwanted houseguests.\u00a0 Once the scouts find food to bring back to the colony, they invite their friends to join the party as surely there will be more food to be found.<\/p>\n

All types of ant species are constantly on the hunt for food, water, and shelter.\u00a0 Some ant species prefer proteins, some prefer sweets, some prefer fats, but for the most part, any food substance that is available will attract ants to come indoors.\u00a0 Even cat and dog food is a delicacy for ants.<\/p>\n

Ants can gain easy access to homes during the spring when they find a tiny crack or crevice in the concrete, around a window sill, under flooring, and with firewood stacked up against a home.\u00a0 Limbs or bushes that are touching a roof or side of a home make gaining access to higher points much easier.<\/p>\n

Ant removal is not an easy job.\u00a0 Practicing good sanitation and keeping plumbing in good working order is essential.\u00a0 Even under the best of circumstances, it is always best to call a Monmouth County, NJ exterminator<\/a> like Allison Pest Control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
