With vacations just around the corner for many of us, here’s a quick reminder for when you first check in before you start relaxing.

Before you unpack or get comfortable, take a few minutes to inspect your room:

Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers and can easily travel home with you from hotels, resorts, or short-term rentals. A quick inspection can go a long way in preventing an unwanted souvenir from your trip!

If you ever suspect bed bugs, early detection and professional treatment are key.

Safe travels and happy vacation season! 🌴✈️

🐝 Bee Activity Can Turn Dangerous Quickly! 🐝

A recent news story highlighted how a routine landscaping project turned into a dangerous situation when a homeowner unknowingly disturbed an active bee colony hidden on the property. What started as yard work quickly resulted in numerous stings and an emergency response.

As temperatures warm up, bees, wasps, and hornets become more active around homes, sheds, trees, decks, and landscaping. While these insects play an important role in our environment, nests located near your home or in high-traffic areas can pose a serious risk to your family, pets, and visitors.

If you notice increased bee activity, insects entering and exiting the same area, or discover a nest on your property, don't wait until it becomes a bigger problem.

📞 Give us a call at 610-867-7378 and let our trained technicians safely inspect and address the issue.

Stay safe and enjoy your outdoor spaces this season! 🌞🐝

A man in his 70s was hospitalized after being stung by bees while trimming tree branches outside his home near downtown San Antonio.

🪲 Tick Season 2026: What Pennsylvania Residents Need to Know

As tick activity continues to rise across Pennsylvania this season, researchers at the Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab are reminding residents to stay alert and take simple but important precautions when spending time outdoors.

According to recent findings highlighted by WHYY, ticks are not just a nuisance — they can carry multiple diseases including Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and other serious infections. One of the biggest concerns is how quickly transmission can occur, making prevention and early detection especially important.

Experts note that many tick encounters happen close to home — in backyards, during yard work, gardening, or while spending time with pets. That’s why routine tick checks after being outdoors are one of the most effective ways to reduce risk.

✔️ Check yourself, children, and pets after outdoor activity
✔️ Wear protective clothing when possible
✔️ Use EPA-approved tick repellents
✔️ Remove ticks promptly and safely if found

The Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab continues to provide valuable support through testing and identification services, helping residents better understand potential exposure risks.

With tick populations active across the state, awareness and prevention are more important than ever this season.

📞 Call us at 610-867-7378 to help protect you and your family from ticks this season and learn more about our prevention and treatment options.

Stay safe, stay alert, and enjoy the outdoors responsibly!

The director of Pennsylvania’s Tick Research Lab offers guidance on tick hotspots, emerging pathogens — and what to do if you’ve been bitten.

🐝🔍 Check out this nest that our service technician, John, recently treated and removed for one of our one-time corrective service clients!

Stinging insect nests can grow surprisingly large before homeowners even realize they're there, especially when they're tucked away in hard-to-see areas around the home.

Take a close look at the second photo—can you spot where the insects were getting inside? 👀

Small openings and gaps around a home's exterior can provide the perfect entry point for wasps, bees, and other pests. That's why routine inspections can make a big difference in catching issues before they become major problems.

If you've noticed a wasp nest, bee activity, or any other stinging insects on your property, give us a call! We're happy to inspect the area and help determine the safest and most effective solution before the problem gets any bigger.

🕷️ Tick Season Is Here — And Lyme Disease Remains Pennsylvania's Biggest Threat

Recent reports have highlighted concerns about the Lone Star Tick and the illnesses it can carry, including alpha-gal syndrome (a red meat allergy). However, Pennsylvania health experts continue to stress that Lyme disease remains the most significant tick-borne threat across our state.

As tick populations continue to grow throughout Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region, it's more important than ever to take preventive measures when spending time outdoors. Experts recommend:

✅ Wearing long sleeves and pants in wooded or grassy areas
✅ Using EPA-approved tick repellents
✅ Performing thorough tick checks after outdoor activities
✅ Checking pets regularly for ticks
✅ Removing attached ticks as soon as possible

At Quest Termite & Pest Management, we know that protecting your family starts outside the home. If you're noticing increased tick activity around your property, we're here to help identify risk areas and discuss treatment options.

📞610-867-7378 Give us a call today to learn how you can help reduce tick populations around your home and enjoy your outdoor spaces with greater peace of mind.

Experts in Pennsylvania warn Lyme disease continues to pose the greatest tick-related health risk despite growing attention on lone star ticks.
