❄️ February Pests of the Month: Early Activity & Hidden Invaders
Action Termite and Pest Control – Protecting New Jersey Homes Year-Round
Warmer Winter = More Pests in February
February may be short, but it’s big for pest activity — especially when the weather is warmer than usual. Pests that typically stay hidden during the cold months start becoming active earlier than expected, and some never really left.
Whether you’re dealing with rodents in the attic or bugs in the pantry, Action Termite and Pest Control is here to stop infestations before they get worse.
