⚠️ TICK SEASON IS HERE — AND HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE WARNING THAT 2026 COULD BE A BIG YEAR FOR TICKS AND LYME DISEASE!

Recent reports from health officials and the CDC indicate that tick activity is expected to be especially high this year, with an increase in tick bites and tick-borne illnesses being reported across many parts of the country. Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and even alpha-gal syndrome (a red meat allergy linked to tick bites) remain significant concerns.

Whether you're gardening, hiking, mowing the lawn, or simply enjoying time outdoors, it's important to take precautions:

✔ Wear long sleeves and long pants when possible
✔ Use an EPA-approved insect repellent
✔ Stay on cleared paths and avoid tall grass and brush
✔ Perform thorough tick checks after spending time outdoors
✔ Check children and pets carefully, too

Pennsylvania continues to be a hotspot for tick activity, making prevention more important than ever. Experts are also reporting higher-than-normal emergency room visits for tick bites this year.

What is a Termite Baiting System and How Does It Work?

Termites can cause serious damage long before you ever see them inside your home—that’s why prevention and early detection are so important.

A termite baiting system is a proactive, long-term solution designed to eliminate the entire colony, not just the termites you might see.

Here’s how it works:

We install discreet monitoring stations in the soil around your home. During routine inspections, if termite activity is found, that material is replaced with a specialized bait.

The termites feed on the bait and carry it back to their colony, sharing it with other termites—including those that never leave the nest. Over time, this process disrupts the colony’s growth and can lead to its complete elimination.

✔ Targets the full colony, including the queen
✔ Uses the termites’ natural behavior against them
✔ Ongoing protection with regular monitoring

If you see or suspect termite damage or activity in your home, give us a call today to schedule a free inspection with our inspector, Chris!

We’re here to help protect your home before small signs turn into big problems.

🐝 Bee Activity Can Turn Dangerous Quickly! 🐝

A recent news story highlighted how a routine landscaping project turned into a dangerous situation when a homeowner unknowingly disturbed an active bee colony hidden on the property. What started as yard work quickly resulted in numerous stings and an emergency response.

As temperatures warm up, bees, wasps, and hornets become more active around homes, sheds, trees, decks, and landscaping. While these insects play an important role in our environment, nests located near your home or in high-traffic areas can pose a serious risk to your family, pets, and visitors.

If you notice increased bee activity, insects entering and exiting the same area, or discover a nest on your property, don't wait until it becomes a bigger problem.

📞 Give us a call at 610-867-7378 and let our trained technicians safely inspect and address the issue.

Stay safe and enjoy your outdoor spaces this season! 🌞🐝

A man in his 70s was hospitalized after being stung by bees while trimming tree branches outside his home near downtown San Antonio.
