⚠️ Yellow jacket season is in full swing!
Imagine coming home and finding this in your closet wall…
These aggressive wasps build their nests from a paper-mâché-like material by mixing saliva with chewed wood fiber (and sometimes drywall).
Colony size: Nests hidden in structural walls can explode during summer, housing 5,000+ workers by late season.
Common culprit: The German yellow jacket (Vespula germanica) loves enclosed spaces like wall voids, attics, and crawlspaces.
The “breakthrough” risk: As the colony grows crowded in late summer, they may chew straight through sheetrock or ceilings and pour into your living space.
If you suspect a nest in your walls — don’t seal the hole and don’t try to handle it yourself. Call a professional right away.

It’s that time of the year again, we have seen a massive increase in rodent activity this season! 🐀 🐭 Is your home protected from rodents?

Rodent Infestations in New England: Norway rats, house mice, and Deer mice flourish in New England's cold winters. In older homes, they exhibit rapid breeding patterns (5–10 litters annually). They invade homes for warmth, thereby posing structural damage and health risks.

Contact us today, protect what really matters your family’s health and home.

(Pictured below, a mouse navigating above my head during a service recently, look closely, rodents live in a world of pheromones, communication with sebum trails, every move thought out and strategic as it crosses a cable to another part of the basement).

Amazing creatures!

Insect of the week- Carpenter Bees 🐝

Worried about carpenter bees? 🐝 These solitary bees look like bumblebees but have shiny hiney, as well, hairless abodmens. They bore into wood (not eating it!) to build nests, which can damage decks, siding, and other wooden structures over time.

While males are harmless, females can sting if provoked. Plus, their presence can attract woodpeckers, leading to even more damage! Keep an eye out for perfectly round holes in your wood. They are quite territorial and can be intimating.
