First Home & A Local NJ Business

IMG_7735.jpeg

We finally have a place to call home! After so much back in forth we finally found our home for now. We are so excited to finally get settled in to our new place and have our own space (I’ve been living out of boxes for the last 9 months!). There is nothing like having your own kitchen, living room , and best of all CLOSET SPACE! With warmer weather, we are happy to start having bbqs and hosting poeple over once this whole pandemic is over.

With our first official weekend at home, it was time to clean and finish unpacking. you never realize how much stuff you own until you move and let me tell you we have so much of it. While setting everything into place on Saturday I came across my worse nightmare: BUGS. I noticed it and so did my hubby. It was the first warmest day of the year and the number of ants and bugs in certain parts of the house we’re insane. I am TERRIFIED of any type of bugs.

As usual I freaked but my husband was calm and knew what he had to do. I mean i know bugs come out of hiding this time of year but why come to my house! We began our research on the best sprays and what not until we can get a exterminator. We came across many exterminator who were all professionals but one company caught my eye. Surf Termite and Pest Control ! The are a family owned business located in Neptune, New Jersey (so for all my south jersey peeps in Ocean and Monmouth county, look no further). The owner Steve Wrzesnewski has been in business for over 30 years with some major name companies. That’s something my husband likes to see before picking anyone to work with especially when it comes to anything with our home. Neptune City Exterminator is a no BS company that wants to actually help you with your termite and pest problems and won’t try to sell you additional work. Everyone hates those types of business! Am I right?

What makes Surf Térmite a great pest and termite control? They will come out to your home, inspect it, and offer you the best plan and treatment. Not many companies out there will take the time and come out to offer a FREE no obligation quote! They offer two types of plan which allows flexibility and allows you to get the best protection against these critters.

The Home protection plan (HPP) gives you four yearly visits where they inspect and helps prevent any damage to the interior and exterior of your home. The pest covered by HPP is:

  • Ants

  • Bees

  • Boxelder beetles

  • Carpet beetles

  • Centipedes

  • Clover mites

  • Crickets

  • Earwigs

  • Ground beetles

  • Hornets

  • Ladybugs

  • Mice

  • Millipedes

  • Mites

  • Pantry pests

  • Pill bugs

  • Rats

  • Roaches

  • Silverfish

  • Spiders

  • Springtails

  • Sowbugs

  • Wasps

  • Yellow jackets​

Best part of this plan is the free emergency call that it gives you! Something that could’ve came in handy for me this weekend when the bugs came out of hiding. This plan is great for anyone who hates any type of bugs in their home!

The second plan is HPP Plus which covers everything in the HPP plan plus carpenter ants and bees, cicada killers, digger bees, and fleas.

Why Should We Get Out Homes Inspected?

Termites, Carpenter ants, and other pest can cause thousands and thousands of dollars in structural damage to someone’s home. According to the national pest management associations, termites cause 5 billion dollars worth of damage each year. Most times you won’t find out the damage they are making until it’s too late. The quicker you can get a home inspection the better.

There is nothing better than working with local companies and supporting them especially with everything going on in the world right now. They have so many SPECIALS going on right now such as 10% off seniors and military, $100 off termites and bed bugs, $75 mosquitos or ticks, and $25 off the HPP plan, Still need some convincing? Check out all their amazing testimonials and reviews!

It’s bug season and every critter is coming out of hiding because of the warm weather. They make their way into our homes and if you’re like me, I panic whenever I see one. It’s time to get someone into to your house and take care of this problem. Plus the earlier you get your home taken care off, the less damage some of these bugs can do!!
