Three New Jersey Pests to Look our for this Winter

Winter temperatures and snowy weather can make it hard for pests to survive outdoors. This can cause some of them to look for indoor places to go, which could include your home. You might have to rely on professional pest control services if you end up with any of the following winter pests.

House Mice

House mice are one of the most common pests in NJ, even during winter. These pests can contaminate your food, spread germs around your house and cause property damage. Some can even cause house fires if they chew on wiring. Tiny droppings, gnaw marks and damage to your food can all indicate a mouse problem.

German Cockroaches

German cockroaches are light brown in color, unlike black Oriental cockroaches or dark brown American cockroaches. German cockroaches can stick around your home if they’re able to find food and water easily. These pests can spread germs and ruin your food, but keeping your home crumb-free and leak-free helps prevent them.

Norway Rats

Norway rats are brown rats that are often found in basements or other sheltered areas where they build nests. These rats can spread diseases, contaminate food supplies and damage your home, so keep an eye out for them. You might find oily rub marks or droppings if they’re already in your home.
