Pests are more than just a nuisance, they can affect your home’s cleanliness and your family’s comfort. While most pests are simply inconvenient, certain insects and rodents can carry contaminants or allergens that may contribute to mild health concerns if left unchecked.

New Jersey is among the states with a consistently high number of tick-related illness reports. For example, ticks are especially common in warmer months. Taking precautions like using repellents and doing quick tick checks after outdoor activities can help minimize risk. Simple, proactive steps go a long way in keeping your environment safe.

Seasonal changes, whether it’s the heat of summer or the chill of winter, can drive pests to seek more suitable environments. In colder months, rodents, spiders, and cockroaches often move indoors for warmth and shelter, nesting in attics, basements, and wall voids. During warmer seasons, increased humidity and food sources attract ants, flies, and other insects to kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. These conditions, especially when combined with poor ventilation or moisture buildup, create ideal environments for germs and allergens to spread. Left unaddressed, infestations can lead to health issues and a decline in overall indoor air quality.

There are simple measures you can take, like sealing up entry points, storing food properly, and keeping indoor and outdoor areas clean and dry. However, oftentimes no matter what you do, you’ll still experience uninvited guests that might compromise what was once a healthy environment.
