Maplewood’s Creative, Welcoming Spirit

Maplewood is a town of approximately 30,000 people, conveniently situated in southeastern Essex County. Twenty miles from New York City, it’s home to commuters, professionals, families, and long-time Garden State residents. Strong schools, safe streets, and direct rail service to Manhattan attract folks of different strokes. Like many nearby cities, it began as a farming community, blossoming as railroads ushered America into a new era.

Eclectic and diverse, the borough is buoyed by a vibrant and walkable downtown, a thriving arts and culture scene, and outdoor opportunities, with hiking trails, woodlands, and mountain views a stone’s throw away. It’s creative, welcoming, and friendly, and locals enjoy frequent festivals, outdoor concerts, farmers’ markets, and holiday celebrations. Entrepreneurs and dreamers are especially drawn to the area, inspired by its imaginative and inclusive nature, while those with a hankering for history enjoy the town’s impressive collection of pre-war, Colonial Revival architecture.

Pantry Perturbers, Grain-Loving Beetles, and Wily Rodents

A diverse spectrum of Maplewood menaces are commonly encountered in homes and businesses. Many species lurk in walls, under floorboards, and in crawlspaces or attics for weeks or longer before they’re noticed.

Pantry moths don’t need to invade because they’re brought in unwittingly. They infest flour, cereal, birdseed, dog food, crackers, rice, nuts, and other dried goods, and end up in kitchens after trips to the grocery store. Although they’re pests with short life cycles, infestations become problematic due to their rapid reproduction.

Weevils are also pantry nuisances, brought in from the market. A type of beetle, they have a taste for grain and lay their eggs inside the kernels. Baby weevils stay inside the kernels, only emerging as adults. You may then find them strolling across your pantry shelves, crawling on nearby cans and boxes, or hiding in cracks and crevices. They’re more visible than larvae, but they never venture far.

Crickets are good omens when they pop into garages or basements as singletons; in swarms, they’re potentially as destructive as locusts. They’re accomplished leapers; although they’ll lose to fleas in the Insect Olympics, they jump many times their body length. They’re not picky eaters, which adds to their resilience; they feast on everything from fabric and glue to crumbs, sweaty clothing, and paper. They’ll even eat their fallen friends (Gilbert was a great violinist and a delicious late-night snack!).

Rats enjoy city life, though they’re not opposed to suburban living and invade Maplewood homes when given the opportunity. They’re highly intelligent, intuitive, and athletic creatures that fit through gaps as small as a quarter and remember routes, learn from one another, and have a highly honed sense of smell. These tiny geniuses smell about four times more acutely than humans (for comparison, dogs smell roughly 50 times more acutely).
