\"\"<\/a>The winter months bring about a definite calm when it comes to annoying household pests.\u00a0 There are not endless amounts of spiders creeping around, the mosquitos appear to be dead and gone, the flies are gone, yellow jackets appear to have died off, and ticks are all in hiding\u2026just to name a few.<\/p>\n

Many types of ant species have also disappeared over the chilly winter months, but don\u2019t be fooled by those pesky critters report NJ pest control<\/a> professionals.\u00a0 Ants have the ultimate survival skills.\u00a0 You may not see them marching in your yard, porches, or walkways, but you can rest assured that all types of ant species are awaiting the arrival of spring to make their presence known once again!<\/p>\n

Carpenter ants<\/a> are one of the largest and most costly ants that a home or business owner can deal with.\u00a0 Carpenter ants are typically black, but can also be different colors.\u00a0 Unlike their arch enemy the termite, carpenter ants do not eat any wood substances.\u00a0 They eat what humans eat, preferring sweets and proteins.\u00a0 In addition, they are always on the hunt for moisture as they need it for survival.\u00a0 Carpenter ants contaminate food surfaces and substances when they eat and travel from place to place and leave their droppings along the way.<\/p>\n

Like termites, carpenter ants are considered to be a serious threat to homeowners because they can cause tremendous structural damage if left to their own devices.\u00a0 These pests damage wood by tunneling their way through it and creating galleries for their young.\u00a0 Because of their elusive behavior, carpenter ant nests often go unnoticed for an extensive period of time.\u00a0 A tale-tell sign of a carpenter ant infestation is the sawdust that they leave behind that they push out of the nest.<\/p>\n

Carpenter ant infestations<\/a> should be taken very seriously.\u00a0 Contact Allison Pest Control at the first sign of any carpenter ants in Monmouth, Ocean, or Middlesex County, New Jersey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
