Ant Control Passaic County


Ant Control Passaic County
It is officially spring and the days of baseball, warm weather, and the revival of plant life will soon be upon us.  However, did you know that spring is one of the worst times in the year for ant infestation?  You might think your house is sealed up tight from any outside guests, but ants have a knack for finding a way inside somehow.    In most cases, the answer lies not in store bought products, but the expertise of a Passaic County ant control expert.  For members of the community, ALCO Animal & Pest Control is here to help.

New Jersey is home to a wide variety of ant species and this can make picking a control method challenging, even for experts.  Each species possesses different characteristics and is therefore deterred in a different way.  The Passaic County ant control items you may find in the store do not always address this problem and will be less effective as a result.  Because our experts have dealt with this issue many times before, they will be able to identify the ants invading your home and create a long term removal plan that is guaranteed to work.

Alarm systems do not protect against all home invasions because ants and other pests can still get in.  Let us help you completely protect your home by drawing on our years of experience helping families like yours.  To learn more about ant control in Passaic County, call ALCO Animal & Pest Control today at 973-540-9944.  We look forward to assisting you.

Bed Bugs Bergen County


The resurgence of bed bugs in Bergen County has been a real problem in recent years, although it does not have to be. If you have spotted a bed bug in your home or business, call ALCO NJ Pest Control. Our safe and humane methods have been helping Northern New Jersey with their pest and animal control problems for years.

We understand that if you have problems with bed bugs in Bergen County, that you would like them eliminated immediately. That is why we provide same day services, as well as special 24 hour emergency services.

It is often tough to be sure that you are infested with bed bugs until it is too late. You need to see the actual insect. And since bed bugs are nocturnal, it is unlikely that you will see one until there are very many. This usually takes about two months.

Another problem is that it is difficult to catch the bed bug in the act of biting you. Not only are you likely asleep when they are active, but bed bugs inject an anesthetic while feeding. After a while, the red marks begin to itch, but at that point the bed bugs are long gone.

There are some signs that bed bugs may leave to indicate their presence. They often leave a linear three bite pattern on their victims. Bed bugs may also leave blood stains on your sheets and leave behind an odor resembling rotting raspberries.

If you find bed bugs in your home or business, do not hesitate to call us. It is near impossible for an amateur to control the problem. For more information or a free inspection, call us at 201-261-7566.

Bed Bugs Hudson County


Bed bugs have been all over the news in recent years. Most recently, a Hudson County Administration building needed to close for the afternoon when a man appearing to the drug court infested the courthouse with the blood sucking parasites. Different witnesses accounted different things. An attorney reported that the man was “covered in bed bugs” while another Superior Court employee said there was only one. Whatever the number may be, one bedbug is too many and the courtroom needed to be evacuated and fumigated for bed bugs in Hudson County.

ALCO NJ Pest Control can eliminate bed bugs in Hudson County. They can be a very big problem but we are equipped to remove them all from your home or business. A problem with bed bugs is that they are tough to spot until it is too late. Because they are nocturnal and feed before dawn and inject an anesthetic when biting, they are not usually seen until they have reproduced and are everywhere.

We have been providing animal and pest control services to homes and businesses throughout Northern New Jersey from many years. We only use humane methods in the case of any animal removal. We understand that these situations call for swift action. Because of this, we offer same day services along with 24 hour emergency services.
