Bugs, Bugs, and more Bugs

My advise to anyone is please do not waste your time and money purchasing over the counter sprays or anything from your local stores that promise to relieve your bed bug problem. Hire a professional who is a license expert , you will thank me in the long run. I guarantee that their is not one product available in your local supermarket, Pharmacy, or convenient store that effectively gets rid of bed bugs or any bugs for that matter. When you hire a license professional you are given permanent relief of your bug problem ,  that's apart of your service contract,and not a quick fix,.

Are These Bed Bugs or Am I Sleeping With a Vampire ?

Over the past five years bed bugs have become an extreme problem for the Tri-state area. Working for a pest control company I find myself doing bed bug treatments more and more; something I treated once a month has now become a service I do daily. The bed bug epidemic has grown substantially, although great for me financially it's not great for those living with this nuisance of an insect. Many people ask how do I prevent bed bugs ? I tell them don't take the bus, don't go outside, don't allow your kids to go to school, don't stay at hotels, don't have visitors, pretty much conceal yourself within your homes; seriously there is no way to prevent bed bugs . Realistically, the following are  simple things you can do to help  reduce your risk for bed bugs :
1. Wipe your feet when you enter your home because eggs can hide in between the creases of the bottom of your shoe.
2. Vacuum floors frequently and discard vacuum bags. Eggs like to hide in carpets
3. The second you expect bed bug existence in your home contact a pest control expert and schedule a free inspection.

Alvin and The Chipmunks

This summer season New Jersey homes have been experiencing a slue of chipmunks. Chipmunks although cute, are known to cause extensive damage to your home Central AC Units. Homes that have been affected by chipmunk damage will normally find baseball size holes in the dirt around the foundation and under the AC unit. Most recently I found several residents that I treat on a regular basis have complained about chipmunk boroughs underneath their home AC Units. The Chipmunks chew through the wiring of the AC Units which forces the homeowner to have to spend hundreds of dollars in repairs. I believe chipmunks are drawn to this area due to the extreme heat we have experienced this summer season. Chipmunks borough holes under your AC unit in order to build a cool and comfortable rest place/ temporary home, as your ac runs it cools the chipmunk.

TIP : Check around your outdoor central units for evidence of Chipmunk boroughs.
