North Arlington Means Community Unity and Timeless Tradition
North Arlington is a New Jersey town full of distinct character. With views of the nearby Meadowlands, it evokes a sense of wilderness whimsy, an urban-meets-suburban essence, and a tight-knit connection. Blossoming alongside the Garden State’s growth, it was developed during the 19th and 20th centuries as a residential hub for commuters heading back and forth to economic epicenters.
Today, the town is teeming with tradition, community unity, and a thriving diversity. A mix of dining and shopping options offers locals variety while parks, recreation programs, and sports fields invite people out into the East Coast sunshine (for those looking for more excitement, the Big Apple is just a car or train ride away). Flocked to by people seeking a practical, down-to-earth dogma, strong neighborly connections, and a variety of activities without feeling lost in the crowd, this town is perfect for those who see the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Primitive Species, Leaping Lurkers, and Bothersome Beetles
North Arlington isn’t just popular with people; pests like it here, too. As in other nearby towns, tiny trespassers enter homes and buildings in search of food and shelter, or, on occasion, by accident.
Silverfish are pests that especially prosper in New Jersey due to the state’s high humidity, dense vegetation, and ample housing options. These small, wingless creatures exhibit wiggly, squirmy movements (like fish out of water), shiny bodies, lifelong molting patterns, and an exceptionally long history. They go back over 400 million years, existing long before most modern menaces like flies and even predating the dinosaurs. While they don’t bite or spread disease, they can damage your things, particularly papers, books, clothes, and blankets stored in basements and crawl spaces, as well as pantry foods.
Fleas have jumped into the record books because of their leaping ability; they can bound distances up to 200 times their body length. If humans could jump in a similar fashion, we’d be able to casually hurdle the Empire State Building or jump an entire city block. They don’t just use their muscles to do this; they use a spring-like protein called resilin. Other species also use resilin, though not always to jump. Some ants use it to snap their jaws shut quickly and forcefully, and mosquitoes use it to fly.
Stink bugs are known for their odorous reputation. This odor is emitted from specialized glands that release chemicals when they’re threatened, disturbed, or defensive. Similar to boxelder bugs, stink bugs overwinter in North Arlington homes and become active as the weather warms. Even outdoors, they can be a nuisance; they damage crops and fruit.
Weevils aren’t as evil as their name insinuates, but they are harmful to plants, pantries, and food storage facilities. A type of beetle with a long snout, they can chew through thin packaging, allowing infestations to spread like a weevil wildfire. Like all beetles, weevils are common across the globe; there are over 60,000 known species, including rice weevils, grain weevils, and flour weevils.
