While there are some other types of insects that can cause damage to various trees that exist on the east coast, there are three primary wood destroying insects that homeowners should be aware of that can cause damage to their properties.\u00a0 Carpenter bees<\/a> and carpenter ants<\/a> can find their way to New Jersey homes at any time report exterminators in Monmouth County, NJ.<\/p>\n

The damage caused by carpenter bees is unseen and can happen over time from generation to generation.\u00a0 Female carpenter bees are the ones that dig holes into sound wood in order to create galleries for them to lay their eggs before they die.\u00a0 Although these bees are considered to be solitary creatures, each entrance hole can be shared by many female bees.\u00a0 Each bee will use previous established galleries and will excavate farther into the wood to suit their own needs.\u00a0 Over time, this constant enlargement of the wood galleries will cause significant damage to the infested wood.<\/p>\n

Carpenter ants are opportunistic feeders.\u00a0 These omnivores survive by eating both live and dead insects, but they are also attracted to human food, especially sweets.\u00a0 They adore honeysuckle, which is a sweet sap-like secretion produced by other insects such as aphids.\u00a0 Carpenter ants are attracted to wood that has been damaged by moisture.\u00a0 Carpenter ants do not eat wood.\u00a0 Instead they burrow into wood so they can create galleries for the queen\u2019s offspring, food storage areas, and tunnels for which they travel through.\u00a0 Carpenter ants cost homeowners millions of dollars in damages which is why a Monmouth County, NJ exterminator should perform a pest control inspection.<\/p>\n

A Monmouth County, NJ exterminator<\/a> like Allison Pest Control can help to keep both of these pests out of your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
