All other ants are considered nuisance ants, although some species are known to contaminate food supplies or spread disease. Northern New Jersey ant species are small and often look alike to the untrained eye. A trained pest control professional can determine the species of ant that has invaded your home and the proper method of elimination.

Easily spread, bed-bugs and their sticky microscopic eggs can be transported on clothing, used furniture and bedding, suitcases, backpacks and moving boxes. Once established, bed bugs spread quickly through homes, apartments, condominiums and office buildings via wall voids, electrical and plumbing conduits, heating ducts and even shared laundry rooms.

Bees & Wasps - Protect Your Family from Stings
Don't become a hostage in your own home when stinging insects set up house in your yard or property. Bee and wasp stings are painful and usually raise an itchy, red hive. People who are allergic to the venom can go into life-threatening anaphylactic shock. In the U.S., insect stings kill 50 to 100 people every year and hospitalize 500,000. While many bees and wasp species attack only in defense, some, notably yellow jackets and hornets, are extremely aggressive, particularly at the end of summer, and will attack without provocation. Wasps and some types of bees have strait stingers that allow them to sting repeatedly, posing a serious health threat, even to people who are not allergic to their venom.
