🐜 Pest of the Week: Carpenter Ants
Think every insect in your wood is a termite? Think again.

Carpenter ants don't eat wood—they excavate it to create tunnels for their colonies. Over time, this can weaken decks, window frames, trim, and other wooden structures, especially where moisture is present.

Signs you may have carpenter ants:
🐜 Large black ants inside your home
🪵 Small piles of sawdust-like material (called frass)
💧 Activity around damp or decaying wood
🪽 Winged ants emerging indoors

Unlike termites, carpenter ants leave behind sawdust as they tunnel. Knowing the difference can help you choose the right treatment.

If you've noticed signs of carpenter ants—or you're simply unsure what you're seeing—our licensed technicians can help.

Protect your home before minor damage becomes a major repair.

🦟 Why are there so many mosquitoes in your yard?
The answer might surprise you.
Mosquitoes don't need a pond to breed—they can lay eggs in as little as a bottle cap of standing water. Bird baths, clogged gutters, buckets, flowerpot saucers, and even children's toys can become breeding sites after it rains.
Mosquitoes also love shady, humid areas where they can rest during the day, like overgrown shrubs, tall grass, and dense landscaping.
Here are a few simple ways to reduce mosquito activity around your home:
✔ Empty standing water weekly
✔ Keep your lawn mowed
✔ Trim bushes and shrubs
✔ Clean your gutters
✔ Refresh bird bath water regularly
If mosquitoes are keeping you from enjoying your backyard, Protex can help. Our mosquito treatments target the areas where mosquitoes rest and breed, helping reduce populations around your home all season long.

Did you know the most destructive wood-destroying insect in New Jersey often works completely out of sight?

Eastern Subterranean Termites live underground and feed on wood around the clock. By the time visible damage appears, they've often been active for months—or even years.

Keep an eye out for:
✔ Mud tubes on your foundation
✔ Swarming termites in spring
✔ Hollow-sounding wood
✔ Bubbling paint
✔ Doors or windows that suddenly stick

The good news? Early detection can prevent expensive repairs.

At Protex Termite & Pest Control, our licensed technicians provide thorough inspections to identify active termite activity, previous damage, and conditions that could put your home at risk.

🏡 What Is a Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspection?

A Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspection is a professional inspection that checks your home for termites and other insects that can damage its structural wood.

At Protex Termite & Pest Control, our licensed technicians thoroughly inspect accessible areas like basements, crawl spaces, foundations, garages, attics, and other structural components for signs of:

🐜 Active infestations

🪵 Previous wood damage

💧 Conditions that may attract wood-destroying insects

We inspect for some of the most common wood-destroying insects in Central Jersey, including:
• Subterranean termites
• Carpenter ants
• Carpenter bees
• Wood-boring beetles

After the inspection, we can provide an official WDI Inspection Report, often required during real estate transactions by homebuyers, sellers, lenders, attorneys, and real estate professionals.

But WDI inspections aren't just for buying or selling a home. Many wood-destroying insects work silently behind walls and under floors for months—or even years—before they're discovered. Regular inspections can catch problems early and help prevent costly structural repairs.

At Protex, we're committed to providing honest, thorough inspections so you can protect one of your biggest investments with confidence.

That’s why most of our maintenance services focus on the exterior of your home—because that’s where the battle starts.

Whole Home Protection Plans start as low as $50/month and include year-round protection from over 30 common household pests.

Because the best pest control happens before pests get inside.

Think ticks are only a problem if you’re hiking through the woods? Think again.

One of the biggest misconceptions about ticks is that they only live in forests. The truth is, many people pick up ticks right in their own backyards. This summer has been especially active across New Jersey, and we’re seeing more ticks in neighborhoods, parks, and landscaped yards than ever.

Whether you’re mowing the lawn, gardening, letting the dog outside, or watching the kids play, it’s always a good idea to do a quick tick check afterward. Catching one early can make all the difference.

Enjoy your yard this summer—but don’t forget that ticks are enjoying it too.

If ticks have become a problem around your home, Protex can help reduce their population so you can spend more time outside with peace of mind.

A week of rain can change more than just the weather.

Prolonged rainfall leaves behind excess moisture that many pests depend on to survive. Damp soil, saturated mulch, overflowing gutters, and standing water create ideal conditions for termites, carpenter ants, mosquitoes, earwigs, and other moisture-loving pests.

Even after the rain stops, the effects can last for days. As the ground begins to dry, insects often become more active around homes in search of food, shelter, and new nesting sites.

Understanding how weather affects pest activity is one of the best ways to stay ahead of seasonal infestations. A little awareness now can help prevent much bigger problems later.

It’s 101° in New Jersey today, but don’t expect the pests to take the day off.

When it gets this hot, many insects and rodents start looking for water and cooler places to hide. That often leads them straight to your home.

Today is a good day to keep an eye out for:
• Carpenter ants around decks, patios, and foundations
• Wasps building nests under eaves and overhangs
• Mosquitoes gathering in shaded areas before coming out at dusk
• Cockroaches looking for cool, damp spaces
• Rodents searching for reliable water sources

A few simple things can help:

Fix leaking hoses and outdoor faucets
Empty standing water
Keep vegetation trimmed away from the house
Make sure trash cans stay closed

If you’ve noticed more pest activity lately, you’re not imagining it. Heat like this changes pest behavior, and we’re already seeing it across Central New Jersey.

If you need us, give Protex a call.
