Pest Control Morris Township NJ

Ticks and gnats may be small, but they can cause big problems if they invade your yard or home. Knowing the signs of these pests can help you catch an infestation early, and our Morris Township pest control team is here to provide an effective yard protection program to keep them under control.

Ticks can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, making them a serious health risk for both humans and pets. These pests are sneaky and often go unnoticed until they’ve already bitten. Here’s what to watch for:

• Tick Bites: One of the clearest signs of ticks is finding a tick attached to your skin or your pet’s fur. Tick bites are usually painless at first, but they can leave behind small, red welts.
• Increased Wildlife Activity: Ticks hitch rides on animals like deer, rodents, and birds. If you notice more wildlife activity around your home, it could mean ticks are lurking in your yard.
• Tick Sightings: Ticks tend to hide in tall grass, dense vegetation, and shaded areas. You might spot them while walking in these areas, especially during the warmer months.

On the other hand, gnats are tiny flying insects that can quickly become a nuisance. Here’s how to recognize an infestation:

• Swarming Gnats: If you notice small flies hovering around your face, food, or plants—especially indoors—it’s likely you have a gnat problem.
• Plant Damage: Gnats often lay their eggs in the soil of houseplants. You might notice wilting, yellowing plants, or tiny larvae in the soil as a sign of their presence.
• Standing Water: Gnats are attracted to moisture, so you may find them near sinks, drains, or any standing water in your home.

Though gnats don’t pose serious health risks, they can be incredibly annoying, especially when they swarm indoors or around food.
