Loch Arbour, NJ Exterminator and Pest Control

Where Problems Start
The beachfront properties collect moisture beneath their foundations, which termites and carpenter ants find irresistible. Older homes near the Asbury Park border have aging crawl spaces where rodents set up camp. Even the small commercial spots along Loch Arbour’s main roads get ant and roach issues when the weather warms up.

Foundation cracks are the biggest problem here, becoming the number one pathway into older coastal homes where many years of settling in the concrete has taken place. Gaps around pipe penetrations, deteriorated weather stripping (salt air gets through them quicker than most folks realize), and openings along the roof line round out the list. Once October rolls around and temperatures drop, mice treat these gaps like an open invitation.

Seasonal pest problems

Spring and summer:

– Carpenter ants will be building new colonies and searching for fresh wood to infest
– Termite swarmers emerge from the moist sands of coastal soils, typically around windows during hot, humid evenings
– Mosquitoes breed in every standing puddle left for three or more days
– Wasps nest under soffits and deck railings
– Ticks become active in most yards with natural perimeters.

Fall and winter:

– Mice and rats scurry through foundation gaps and garage door seals in search of somewhere warm
– Stink bugs gather on south-facing walls, then try to gain entrance through tiny openings
– Spiders follow other insects into warm rooms
– Cockroaches turn up in bathrooms and kitchens (anywhere damp and heated)

Year-round:

Bed bugs aren’t affected by seasonal changes. They travel in suitcases, used furniture, and clothes. Silverfish remain in damp basements and crawl spaces regardless of the season.

Our treatment process
