10/12/2022 0 Comments Why Fall Pest Control Is Important Even though it's getting colder, getting rid of pests should still be a top priority. Even though some bugs and rodents are more common in the summer, pest control should be done all year long. In New Jersey, there are many bugs, like bedbugs and termites, that could come into your home in the fall and winter. Of course, this could make your home environment uncomfortable. Some pests can also be dangerous, so keeping them away or getting rid of them can keep your family safe. Here are some good reasons to get rid of pests in the winter and some easy ways to do it.
WHICH BUGS ARE AUTUMN INSECTS? Termites are a common problem in the fall. Most people see these bugs in the spring and summer. But some types of termites are active in the fall and lay eggs that hatch in the winter. Subterranean termites often attack homes in New Jersey. They have clear wings and yellow backs. Termites eat wood and can do a lot of damage to the foundation of your home. Repairs for this can cost a lot of money. As the weather gets cooler, cockroaches can move into your home. In the fall and winter, these bugs look for food and warmth. Most of the time, they are in the kitchen and dining room. Roaches can also make their homes in warm, dark places inside the house. Inspect these areas of your property to make sure roaches are not infesting your property. Watch out for bedbugs if you travel in the fall or winter. You can find them in airports and hotels. Because they are so small, you might not even realize they are on your sheets or clothes. TIPS FOR PEST CONTROL IN THE FALL One of the best ways to keep fall pests out of your home is to keep food covered and stored correctly. Use air-tight containers for all food that is not being refrigerated. If you have pets, make sure their food is stored properly after each meal, and wash their dishes well. If you find there are bed bugs in your home, calling a professional right away is best. In New Jersey, these bugs are common and can be found on bed sheets, luggage, and clothing. Without an exterminator, it can be hard to get rid of bed bugs. Pests can also be kept out of your home by putting trash in cans with tight lids and sweeping up crumbs. During the fall in New Jersey, there are a lot of roaches. These insects can carry food-borne illnesses, so keeping them off your property is best. Sealing up any holes or cracks around your doors and windows is another good way to keep pests out in the fall. You can do this yourself with a caulking gun, or you can hire a contractor. GETTING RID OF FALL PESTS Making an appointment with an exterminator is often all it takes to make sure your home is free of fall pests. In addition to insects, rodents can also get into your home. Ask your pest control person to look for rats and mice in the walls and other openings in your home. You can also have a professional look at any rodent droppings you find on your property.

 Fall is officially here when the weather gets cooler, football season starts, and everything tastes like pumpkin spice.
Everything about fall is nice, except for one thing: bugs. Here’s everything you need to know about Fall Pest Control. When it gets cold, why do bugs come inside? When it gets cold, bugs come inside to find food, water, and a place to stay. Many people think that summer is the most bug-filled time of year. But did you know that when summer ends and temperatures drop in the fall, annoying animals love to move into your house? Like people, bugs want to be warm, eat, and drink, and they will do almost anything to get what they need. When bugs come out in the fall When fall comes, bugs and rodents come into our homes looking for food and warmth. These pests are not only annoying, but they also cause damage to our homes and pets and pose serious health risks to our loved ones. Taking the steps to protect and fortify your home against bugs will help keep it clean and give you peace of mind, just in time for cozy nights in front of the fireplace. Read on to find out how to keep them from finding what they need in your home or business this fall. How to keep pests out of your house this fall STEP 1: Make sure your house has a tight seal. Pests can fit into places that are very small. In fact, cockroaches can get through the quarter-sized hole. Your windows and doors need to be well sealed so that bugs can't get in through even the tiniest cracks. How to make it right: Fill in cracks and gaps between window panes with caulk. Put weather stripping around doors to keep them from letting in air or water. You should also look at other interesting things around the outside of your house. All of the following should be caulked and sealed: dryer vents, plumbing holes, basement screens, and attic vents. STEP 2: Keep your house clean. Bugs like to lay eggs in places that are dirty, wet, and warm. Vacuum. Vacuuming under beds, sofas, and other places that are hard to see will help keep pests out of places you don't see often. Clean your sink and kitchen. Insects and other pests like to hang out in your kitchen. Don't put dirty plates in the sink. Keep countertops clear of stuff and wipe them down with a cleaner that kills germs. You should also keep the cabinet space under your sinks. Check for leaks. Small leaks and seal breaks on the walls that face the outside can be missed, giving insects a nice new home that you don't even know about. STEP 3: Set up a schedule for regular pest control This fall, the best way to protect your home from bugs and rodents is to hire a professional pest control service once a month or once every three months. The best person to handle the right insecticides and treatment methods is a professional. Crawl spaces, attics, basements, and other hard-to-reach places are dangerous places to work, especially if you have kids or pets. Pest control experts are well-trained and know how to get rid of pests without hurting your family's health or safety.

You're not the only one who thinks that ticks will start to go away in a few days. In fact, many people in New Jersey, including Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, and beyond, think that ticks aren't a big problem or health risk in the fall. That is not the case, though. Some ticks in New Jersey are a problem all year, not just in the spring and summer. What kinds of ticks are active in New Jersey in the fall?The American dog tick, the brown dog tick, the Lone Star tick, and the black-legged tick, also called a deer tick, are the most common types of ticks in the Garden State. Dog ticks and the Lone Star tick will stop moving when it gets colder, but this is not true of deer ticks. In fact, these biting pests are getting worse and will continue to be a problem as long as the ground temperature stays above 45°F and the air temperature stays above freezing. Also, nymphs will grow into adult deer ticks during the fall and winter months and start feeding. During this time, tick eggs will also hatch, and the ticks will look for small animals to feed on. After the first frost, do ticks die?On average, New Jersey gets its first frost in early October. Even though the frost may kill mosquitoes and take out what's left in your garden, it won't kill deer ticks. Like George Washington did in 1776 when he ran away from New York, ticks will run away when it freezes for the first time, but they won't give up the fight. Where do ticks hide when fall comes? Ticks will hide in the leaf litter when it's too cold outside. They'll stay there until it's warm enough to go back out. That is why it is so important to keep wooded and brushy areas free of leaves, mulch, and other organic debris. Is it possible to get Lyme disease in the fall? Lyme disease is a risk whenever deer ticks are out and about. The autumn months are no different. The CDC says that the Lyme disease bacterium can only be passed on by deer ticks that have been attached for 36 to 48 hours or more. With this information in mind, we cannot stress enough how important it is to check your whole body, including your arms, legs, groin, armpits, scalp, etc., for these disease-spreading bugs after spending any time outside. How likely is it to get Lyme disease? Michigan State University says that deer ticks in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and North Central states cause more than 95% of Lyme disease cases in the U.S. Also, 20–30% of black-legged tick nymphs and 50–60% of adult female ticks in these areas are infected. What can I do to avoid getting Lyme disease and other diseases that ticks carry?You are less likely to get sick from ticks if you get rid of them as soon as you find them, ideally within 36 hours of when they are first attached. Other ways to avoid getting bitten by a tick are:
What should I do if I see a tick?Here's what the CDC says you should do to get rid of a tick:
