That single worker is part of a colony that has been growing since spring — and by this point in the season that colony is at its largest, its hungriest, and its most aggressive.

Late summer and fall is when wasps shift from foraging to surviving. Food sources dry up. The colony starts to collapse, with the remaining workers typically dying off while the queen survives the winter. And every worker still flying is desperate & unpredictable.

Gaps in siding. Aging window seals. Foundation cracks. Eave openings. Wasps find them all this time of year.

Fall treatment is the right time and Craig handles it safely and completely across Wright County and the West Metro.

This nest was tucked underneath the deck, in a protected opening near the foundation.

Places like this can be easy to overlook—but once you disturb the area, you could find out what’s living underneath.

As we head toward fall, stinging insect activity can become especially noticeable.

As temperatures begin to drop, mice start searching for food, shelter, and a cozy place to nest.

Your garage, basement, and storage areas can quickly become their favorite hiding spots. Before fall arrives, take a quick walk around your property:

🔎 Check gaps around doors and garage openings
🔎 Seal cracks near your foundation
🔎 Keep food and pet supplies stored properly

Prevention starts with knowing what to look for.

That little red-and-black bug outside your house? It can turn into a LOT of bugs very quickly.

Boxelder bugs are especially noticeable as we move toward fall, when large groups begin gathering around homes, foundations, rocks, trees, and other sunny areas.

This is one of those pest problems that’s much easier to get ahead of before you’re dealing with hundreds around your windows and doors.

📍 Locally owned. Locally operated. Proud to serve Rockford Minnesota and the surrounding Wright County communities.

Every September like clockwork — the Asian lady beetles show up.

And if you’ve lived in Minnesota for any amount of time you already know what that means. Clusters of orange beetles on the sunny side of your house.

These are not your friendly garden ladybug. Asian lady beetles are an introduced species that bites, stains surfaces when crushed, and overwinters inside the wall voids of Minnesota homes in large numbers.

The best time to treat for Asian lady beetles is approaching — sealing entry points and treating exterior congregation areas now is significantly more effective than trying to deal with them once they are already inside for the season.

Craig handles Asian lady beetle treatments across Wright County and the West Metro every fall. One call gets you ahead of it before it becomes a winter problem.

If you’ve never seen a boxelder bug situation up close — welcome to late summer in Minnesota.

What looks like a minor nuisance early in the season turns into THIS as temperatures start to shift. Boxelder bugs congregate in massive numbers on the warm sides of homes, trees, and structures as they begin searching for somewhere to spend the winter.

The ones you see on the outside are looking for a way in. Gaps around windows, door frames, siding seams, utility entry points — boxelder bugs will find every single one of them and use it.

And once they’re inside the walls they are significantly harder to deal with.

The window to get ahead of a boxelder problem is right now — before they make the move from outside congregation to inside your home for the season.

Wright County and the West Metro, Argus Pest Control can help you get ahead of it.

Here’s something worth knowing as we head into fall.

When pests start showing up inside a home — on basement walls, along baseboards, near windows and doors — the bug itself is only half the story.

The more important question is always: how did it get in and what conditions are making your home attractive in the first place?

Moisture. Gaps in the foundation. Cracks around windows. Aging caulk lines. Landscaping pressed against the siding. These are the things Craig looks at. Treating the bug without addressing what invited it in is a temporary fix at best.

This time of year as nights get cooler, insects and rodents start actively looking for warm shelter. Your home has everything they need.
