Summer Pests: Essential Tips for New Jersey Residents

• Ants: These tiny invaders are often seen marching through kitchens and pantries, searching for food. Carpenter ants can cause structural damage to your home if left unchecked.

• Mosquitoes: Known for their itchy bites, mosquitoes are not just a nuisance but can also carry diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus.

• Ticks: These pests thrive in wooded areas and tall grasses, posing a risk for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.

• Stinging Insects: Wasps, bees, and hornets become more active in the summer and can pose a serious threat, especially to those allergic to stings.

• Rodents: Mice and rats seek shelter in homes, particularly during hot weather, and can carry diseases and cause damage to property.

Tips to Keep Your Home Pest-Free

1. Seal Entry Points

Inspect your home for cracks and gaps in windows, doors, and foundations. Sealing these entry points can prevent pests from finding their way inside. Pay special attention to areas where utilities enter your home, as these can be common access points for rodents and insects.

2. Keep Your Home Clean

Regularly clean kitchens and dining areas to eliminate food sources. Store food in sealed containers and dispose of garbage promptly. Crumbs and spills can attract ants, roaches, and other pests, so keeping your home clean is a key step in pest prevention.

3. Eliminate Standing Water

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so it’s important to remove any stagnant water around your property. Check gutters, flowerpots, birdbaths, and other containers that might collect water, and empty them regularly.

4. Maintain Your Yard

Keeping your lawn mowed and trimming back bushes and trees can reduce hiding spots for pests like rodents and ticks. Overgrown vegetation can also serve as a bridge for pests to enter your home, so it's important to maintain your yard throughout the summer.

5. Properly Store Firewood

Keep firewood at least 20 feet away from your home to deter rodents and insects. Stacking wood directly against your house provides a convenient hiding spot for pests, so it’s best to store it off the ground and away from your home.

6. Use Screens

Ensure that windows and doors have screens to keep pests out while allowing fresh air in. Repair any holes or tears in screens to prevent insects like mosquitoes from entering your home.

7. Consult Professionals

If you notice signs of an infestation, contact a pest control professional promptly to address the issue before it worsens. Professional pest control services can help you identify the source of the problem and implement effective solutions to keep pests away.
