Wasp and hornet activity is climbing fast across Georgia, and most homeowners do not notice the nest until it is already a problem.

By late May, paper wasp colonies that started small in April have grown. Yellow jackets are building underground or in wall voids. European hornets and bald-faced hornets are showing up around eaves and trees.

UGA Extension notes that colonies in Georgia grow large because of the long warm season, often reaching hundreds of workers by late summer. Nest disturbance is the most common cause of serious sting incidents.

Walk your property once a week through summer. Check eaves, soffits, vents, sheds, and around playsets. Anything larger than a golf ball needs professional removal, not a can of spray.

We cover identification, behavior, and safe removal in our pest library.

Miller moths are now showing up in Utah homes by the thousands.

You will see them clustering around porch lights, slipping in through screens, and battering windows at night. They are the adult stage of the army cutworm and pass through Utah for roughly four to five weeks each spring before heading into the mountains.

Miller moths cause zero damage. They do not eat clothes, bite, or sting. But the sheer numbers are unsettling.

Colorado State University Extension recommends sealing entry points, switching off outdoor lights at night, and using yellow bulbs where lighting is needed. For moths already inside, a vacuum or fly swatter works better than insecticides.

Once the population moves on to higher elevations, the issue resolves itself. Until then, prevention is mostly about closing the door behind you.

‘Miller moth’ is the term given to any type of moth that is abundant in and around homes. In Colorado, the Army Cutworm moth is prevalent. Learn more.

With Memorial Day weekend kicking off summer travel, this is the season bed bugs spread the most.

Bed bugs do not come from poor housekeeping. They are hitchhikers. They travel home in luggage, clothing, and secondhand furniture, which is why hotels, rentals, and public transit are common pickup points.

A few habits protect you. At hotels, check the mattress seams and headboard before unpacking. Keep luggage off the bed and floor. When you get home, wash travel clothes on high heat right away.

Bed bugs hide in tiny cracks and seams and reproduce quickly, so early detection matters. DIY methods rarely reach every life stage.

We cover how to spot bed bugs and why professional treatment works in our Utah pest library. Link in comments.

Roach activity is climbing fast across Georgia as the heat and humidity build.

Warm, damp conditions speed up the cockroach life cycle, letting populations grow quickly in crawlspaces, wall voids, and basements. Heavy spring rain also pushes outdoor roaches like Smokybrown and Oriental cockroaches indoors through foundation cracks and drain lines.

Here is the issue with DIY sprays: by the time you see one or two roaches, dozens more are hidden nearby. Store-bought products kill what you see but rarely reach egg capsules and nesting areas.

Roaches are not just unpleasant. They spread bacteria and trigger asthma and allergies, especially in kids.

We explain why Georgia roach activity spikes in summer and what actually eliminates an infestation in a recent blog post. Link in comments.
