  • Bees – There are a variety of bees to be aware of in New Jersey as well. Some of these are more dangerous than others. For people who are allergic, it can be lethal.

  • Termites  – Termites can also be a challenge because they work in a colony. There is one particular species which can only be found in New Jersey.

A pest control company has the experience to deal with all the correct methods.
  •  Rodents – Outside of the home, it is not uncommon to find rodents. A mouse, for example may seem cute running around on the patio, but it can do a lot of damage. They may build burrows in the lawn. They like to keep warm in the shed and there is chance that they will spread diseases. The rat can also carry a lot of diseases. Some of them burrow under the garage or logs of wood. There are traps available for these rodents, which often work very well.
  • Wildlife – There are a lot of animals which can also do a lot of destruction in the garden as well as around the home. Many of these animals have sharp teeth and can easily do damage to the roof as well as to other wooden materials. They can also become more dangerous when people are around as well as with children who want to pet a squirrel, for example. These animals carry diseases, so kids need to be made aware of these issues. Cats and dogs have been known to be bitten by snakes.

There are pest control companies who can help deal with a situation like this. It can be easier to eliminate one or two cockroaches in the home. However, dealing with chipmunks or snakes is something that you want to leave to the experts. The wilder animals are transferred somewhere else where they have freedom and they are able to remain in their own habitat away from the suburbs. Pest control companies also use various repellents which will sanitize the home and the garden. This will keep the wildlife from returning.
