"Goodnight, Sleep tight, Alco Pest Control Helps me sleep right!"

The cliche goes "Good night, Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite." Nobody ever thinks twice before saying it but does anyone know what an actual bed bug is? Bed Bugs in NJ are small, brown and flat insects that are a quarter of an inch long. They lack wings, therefore, they do not fly but are capable of moving on vertically and horizontally inclined surfaces. Bed bugs usually come out at night due to their dislike for light. They tend to feed just an hour before sunrise and are attracted to warmth and carbon dioxide, two things that we humans have. They, also, hatch eggs which can lead to infestations therefore Bed Bugs Pest Control in NJ is vital. One may determine if there is a Bed Bug Infestation in NJ by able to find a sample of the actual bed bug.Some may say that looking at a bug bite mark is the way to go but medical professionals cannot make a positive diagnosis with just a bite alone. However, if you are waking up in the morning with bug bites and having symptoms, it would be best to call a professional who is certified to give a proper identification. If you are looking for those qualified professionals or if its too late and you need Bed Bugs Extermination in NJ then look no further than Alco NJ Animal and Pest Control.

Raccoon Removal NJ

As the weather becomes warmer, those pesky raccoons are going to come out and play in NJ. Raccoon Animal Control in NJ is going to be very important. The common raccoon that usually resides in NJ can usually be seen with a facial black mask and a black striped tail.  They have short round eyes, black eyes and surprisingly even though they can  grow up to be three feet long and weigh to thirty pounds they still are very skilled climbers. They  look like cute little furry animals and that makes human interaction almost unavoidable but those "cute little furry animals" can be quite dangerous. Due to the public's fascination with animals, the aquisition of rabies has become much more of a threat that previously once was. 

     Another important point to consider about raccoons is Raccoon Nest in NJ. It is precisely at spring time when female racoons tend to search for areas to nest. They tend to look for dark corners that are not active. To a raccoon, basements, attics and crawl spaces in barns, sheds and houses in NJ are prime real estate. A mother raccoon will do anything in their power to protect her babies and are known to bite, scratch, claw and even screech their adversaries, which include household pets as well as humans.

Spider Control in Passaic County

Most of us suffer from arachnophobia, or the fear of spiders, but since the spider is such a common insect in North Jersey, running across one is inevitable. When the spiders become a serious and recurring problem, then it's time to hire a trained team to help you with spider removal in NJ.

Alco Animal and Pest Control eases your fears of these creepy creepers by offering same day service to reduce and remove the intruding spiders.

Spiders are actually very beneficial, trapping flies and other bugs that we are usually swatting away. They will crawl into your house when they are looking for new places to spin webs, and this becomes more prominent after spiders hatch from their eggs, looking for a fresh start away from the larger, established spiders.

As a spider control company in Passaic County, Alco gets to work on the outside of your house or condo first, where the spider problem started. After reducing and controlling the spider population with humane and effective pesticide, we will begin to manage the spider invaders on the inside of your home, condo, or office.

Our experienced and reliable pest control technicians will get rid of your spiders, satisfaction guaranteed!

North Jersey Ants are On the Move

With this recent batch of early warm weather, Northern New Jersey ants are becoming more active. Flies and spiders are out, and birds are hunting them down while preparing to nest.

Soon the ground will warm up too, releasing a swarm of carpenter ants, beetles, and other pests.

The first thing that these insects will seek out will be food: scraps of leaves, fruits, and unfortunately, crumbles from your kitchen. At Alco Pest Control, we offer comprehensive ant removal services for all types of ants, including carpenter, that are safe and sure to be effective.

Carpenter ants can be especially quarrelsome for homeowners, as they can cause structural damage to houses similar to the work of termites, burrowing through damp and decaying wood to build their nests. Our ant pest control services help to minimize this damage.

Alco Pest Control has always offered a fully guaranteed pest control service, so whether ants, termites, or any other pest is bugging you this spring, make Alco your first line of defense!

Raccoon Removal NJ: Pest Control by the Season

It's the end of February and with the change of seasons comes the threat of reawakened animals seeking a place to start their new families.  Between March and May, raccoons start their house hunting.  Crawl spaces, rarely used sheds, attics and basements; these are all perfect places for female raccoon to keep their newborns safe from predators in a cool, dark corner.  What brings a raccoon to settle on your garage for shelter?  An environment safe from people and animals is priority.  If they can easily slink in and out of the space, are out of the elements and near a source of food, raccoon will happily call your rarely used space their home.  Enough about the behavior of the raccoon, though; how do you get rid of them?

NJ raccoon removal can be done the easy way, and of course the hard way.  In this case, the hard way is also the very dangerous way.  Some people may think it's cheap, entertaining and maybe even empowering to try trapping a raccoon on their own.  While some may be successful, consider your own safety.  Raccoon can carry a host of diseases and are known for being very protective of their young.  Capturing a raccoon on your own can expose you to nasty bites, scratches and a high-pitched screeching sound (it's something like a war-cry for the raccoon).  

Don't be a hero!  Let a professional North Jersey raccoon removal specialist deal with your pest problem.  Not only do they have training and expertise in handling wild animals like raccoon, but some (like Alco NJ Animals & Pest Control) use humane methods.  That means, although you don't want the raccoon family redecorating your shed, you want to ensure the family is moved into nature rather than killed.  While NJ raccoon removal experts like the staff at Alco can't promise you the raccoon will enjoy their tree in the forest as much as they enjoyed your attic, they can promise you humane, affordable and satisfying service.  That's the easy way!

The Purple Squirrel & Squirrel Control in Morris County NJ

On a daily basis many of us would not be shocked, or even interested, in the usual gray-colored, bushy-tailed squirrels that scurry around trees and bushes.  However, squirrels with nutty colors have been popping up in the local area and drawing media attention. One lucky little critter dressed in purple made his Twitter and Facebook debut last week. A purple squirrel, found by a couple near their Jersey Shore home, made headlines in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  The purple squirrel easily gained over 3,000 Facebook fans and 350+ followers on Twitter on accounts set up for the new spotlight darling.

One fan even wrote on the wall of the purple squirrel, "I love you Purple Squirrel!"  For this squirrel, life is good and people love the purple squirrel.  Had the purple squirrel been a home intruder, however, the story may not have been so joyous.  In New Jersey alone, squirrels of gray and black have been known to find their way into attics and other neglected spaces inside of homes.  Squirrels are often seeking out a place to start families.  Just like people, squirrels prefer a settled in space to call their own rather than hop from place to place.  What squirrels want more than shelter is a source of food.  If you have a bird feeder or some blossoming fruit trees in your yard, you may be expecting the inevitable squirrel season quickly approaching.

You're in luck!  Squirrel Control in Morris County is a call or click away.  Fear not for the safety of the purple squirrel; a service like the one provided by Alco NJ Animal & Pest Control is cruelty-free, capturing and releasing squirrels through the use of one-way enclosures.  When the squirrels return to the nest they've created on your property they step into a one-way trap, unable to exit.  Morris County NJ Squirrel Control services provided by Alco NJ Animal & Pest Control are available at all hours of the day, reachable by phone at (973) 540-9944 and online at NJPest.com for same-day assistance.
