⚠️ What Homeowners Should Know: Signs of a Hidden Nest

Not all stinging insect nests are immediately visible. In many cases, homeowners first notice:
🐝 Increased flying activity
🏠 Insects entering small openings
🔊 Buzzing sounds in walls or ceilings
🌿 Activity near decks, soffits, or siding

What starts as small activity in June can quickly grow into a much larger nest later in the summer.

The earlier activity is identified, the easier it is to address before populations increase.

⚠️ What Homeowners Should Know: Don’t Disturb Active Nests Yourself

As yellow jacket and wasp activity increases throughout the summer, attempting DIY nest removal can quickly become dangerous. 🐝

Stinging insects become highly defensive when nests are disturbed — especially around:
🏠 Siding and soffits
🌿 Landscaping
🪵 Decks and sheds
🌱 Underground nests

What may seem like a small nest early in the season can grow rapidly as temperatures continue rising.

The safest approach is identifying activity early before nests become larger and more aggressive later in the summer.

🐾 Tick Tip #3: Pets Can Bring Ticks Indoors

Dogs and outdoor pets can easily pick up ticks while spending time outside in:
🌿 Tall grass
🌳 Wooded areas
🍂 Landscaping
🏡 Backyards and trails

As tick activity continues to rise this season, checking pets regularly after outdoor activity becomes even more important. 🕷️

The sooner ticks are spotted, the better.

⚠️ What Homeowners Should Know: Where Yellow Jackets Commonly Nest

Yellow jackets often build nests in hidden areas homeowners may not notice early in the season. 🐝

Common nesting locations include:
🏠 Soffits and siding
🌿 Landscaping and shrubbery
🪵 Decks and outdoor structures
🏚️ Sheds and garages
🌱 Underground ground nests

As temperatures continue rising throughout NEPA, nesting activity becomes more active and noticeable during the summer months.

The earlier nests are identified, the easier they are to address before activity increases later in the season.

🚨 NEPA Tick Alert: Have You Heard of the Lone Star Tick?

For years, most tick conversations in our area focused on deer ticks and dog ticks. Now, another species is getting attention across Pennsylvania: the Lone Star tick. 🕷️

The female Lone Star tick is easy to recognize thanks to the single white spot on its back. ⭐

Why does this matter?

As tick populations continue to expand and more people spend time outdoors during the summer, awareness becomes increasingly important for homeowners, families, hikers, and pet owners throughout NEPA.

You may encounter Lone Star ticks in:
🌿 Tall grass
🌳 Wooded areas
🏡 Property edges
🥾 Walking trails and outdoor recreation areas

The good news? Knowing what to look for is the first step in staying protected.

As outdoor activity continues this summer, remember to check yourself, your children, and your pets after spending time outside.

Stay aware. Stay proactive. Stay protected.

🕷️ Tick Tip #2: Ticks Aren’t Just Found in the Woods

Many homeowners think ticks only live deep in wooded areas — but that’s not always the case.

Ticks are commonly found around:
🌿 Backyards
🍂 Leaf piles
🌳 Landscaping
🏡 Property edges
☀️ Shaded outdoor areas

As tick activity continues increasing throughout the NEPA area, awareness becomes especially important for families and pets spending more time outdoors this season.

🌿 Tick Tip #1: Tall Grass Creates Tick Hotspots

Ticks commonly wait on tall grass and vegetation before attaching to people or pets passing nearby. 🕷️

As temperatures rise throughout NEPA, we’re continuing to see increased tick activity around:
✔️ Overgrown lawns
✔️ Wooded edges
✔️ Landscaping
✔️ Shaded outdoor areas

Keeping grass trimmed and reducing heavy vegetation can help reduce tick pressure around your property this summer. ☀️

🚨 Your inspection says “entry points for pests”… now what?

The good news?
That doesn’t always mean you have an active infestation. 👇

Small gaps, cracks, and open vents around a home can simply mean there’s potential for future pest activity if left unaddressed. 🏠🐜

Common entry points like these allow pests to:
• Search for shelter
• Access moisture sources
• Move indoors as seasons change

The best part?
These are often some of the easiest issues to correct before they become bigger problems later on. ✅

Preventative sealing and exclusion work can go a long way in helping reduce future pest risks and protecting your home long-term.

👉 Staying proactive now is always easier than dealing with a larger issue later.

🦟 Mosquitos don’t need a pond to become a problem.

In fact, standing water as small as a bottle cap can quickly become a breeding area during spring and summer. 😳

Common mosquito hotspots around homes include:
✔️ Gutters
✔️ Flower pots
✔️ Kids toys
✔️ Bird baths
✔️ Tarps
✔️ Patio furniture
✔️ Low drainage areas

With warmer temperatures and frequent spring rain, mosquito populations can increase fast this time of year.

The good news?
Small prevention steps now can make a major difference before peak summer season arrives. ☀️

👉 Eliminate standing water regularly and stay proactive with outdoor treatments before mosquito activity gets worse.

👊 Behind every pest treatment is preparation, inspection, and prevention.

Spring is one of the busiest seasons in pest control because warming temperatures and moisture create ideal conditions for increased activity.

A lot of what we do happens before major infestations occur:
✔️ Monitoring activity
✔️ Identifying entry points
✔️ Inspecting vulnerable areas
✔️ Addressing moisture conditions
✔️ Helping homeowners stay proactive

At Pestcor, we believe good pest control is about more than simply reacting to problems — it’s about helping homeowners protect their property long-term. 🏠

Thank you to our team for continuing to put in the work every day this season. 👏
