Stink bugs are the houseguests no one invited, largely because they bring their own nasty perfume.

As late summer turns toward fall, stink bugs may gather on sunny exterior walls and look for cracks, gaps and any other “ins.” Prevention is all about exclusion: seal around windows, doors, siding, chimneys and utility lines before these odiferous critters move indoors.

School is in session and routines are back. That means backpacks are suddenly living on floors and buses, in cubbies and bedroom corners, once again.

Bed bugs are hitchhikers, so it helps to build a simple habit: keep backpacks off beds, inspect seams and pockets regularly, and wash and dry school clothes on high heat.

Fall pests do not wait for pumpkin spice season to make plans. Stink bugs, boxelder bugs, cluster flies and other overwintering pests often start looking for entry points before the weather really cools down.

Now is the time to check window screens, door sweeps, siding gaps, attic vents and openings around pipes or utilities. Once pests get inside wall voids, they are a lot harder to evict politely.

We understand the instinct. You see wasps coming and going, grab a can from the garage and think, “How bad could this be?”

The answer may well be: very bad.

If wasps, hornets or yellowjackets are active near doors, decks, play areas or sheds, keep your distance and call in trained help. Nest location and species matter, and safe treatment starts with identification, so give us a call.

Fleas and ticks are small, but they know how to make a big entrance. Pets can bring them in, but so can wildlife passing through your yard.

Keep pets on veterinarian-recommended prevention, vacuum pet resting areas often, wash bedding and reduce brushy areas where ticks wait for a ride. If bites or sightings keep happening, the source may not be where you think it is.
