Fall & winter don’t stop bed bugs—they just move indoors with you. Unlike many pests, bed bugs stay active year-round in heated homes.

They hitchhike on luggage, clothing, secondhand furniture, and even coats, then settle into mattress seams, headboards, and clutter. Pittsburgh ranks among the higher-infested cities, and holiday travel plus thicker bedding can raise the risk.

Our guide shares 12 practical prevention tips for travel and home, including:

- Inspect hotel rooms (headboard, mattress seams, furniture) before unpacking
- Prefer washable duffel bags over hard-sided suitcases
- Wash and high-heat dry everything after trips
- Use quality mattress/box spring encasements
- Vacuum regularly and seal the contents
- Scrutinize secondhand and even new clothing
- Reduce clutter near sleeping areas
- Freeze items you can’t heat-treat
- DIY has limits—these pests are expert hiders.

🚨 Pittsburgh Tick Alert 🚨

Tick activity in Pennsylvania is exceptionally high this year, and Pittsburgh-area homeowners should take it seriously.

Researchers are reporting up to 2.5x more ticks than last year, while emergency room visits for tick bites are at a multi-year high. Experts are warning that 2026 could be a record or near-record year for tick-borne diseases.

Your yard is where your family, kids, and pets should be able to relax — not where ticks take over.

Pestco Professional Services offers professional tick treatments for Pittsburgh homes to help reduce tick activity around lawns, fence lines, wooded edges, play areas, and outdoor living spaces.

🌼 Spring has sprung in Pittsburgh… but so have the pests! 🐜

As the flowers bloom and temperatures rise, keep an eye out for these common spring invaders around your home:

• Carpenter ants marching along foundations
• Termite swarmers near the soil line
• Mosquitoes breeding in standing water
• Spiders on window sills and eaves
• Boxelder bugs & brown marmorated stink bugs sunning on south-facing walls
• Yellow jackets and paper wasps starting nests under eaves
• Ticks hiding in tall grass

Early detection is key — small signs now can prevent big headaches (and expensive damage) later!

Pittsburgh friends, just a heads-up: door-to-door pest control season is back.

Before signing anything at the door, make sure you read the full agreement. Low intro prices can sometimes come with follow-up charges, longer commitments, or cancellation terms people did not expect. Pennsylvania’s Attorney General has previously taken action against Aptive over sales and cancellation-related practices.

Take your time. Ask questions. Do not let anyone pressure you.

At Pestco Professional Services, we believe in honest inspections, straightforward pricing, and real local service. No pressure, no gimmicks, just help when you need it.

Stay safe out there, Pittsburgh.
