Late summer is prime time for wasp activity. Colonies are often at their largest, and wasps can become especially defensive when their nest is disturbed.

If you spot a nest, give it some space — and let Critter Ridders handle it!

🐜 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 “𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐬”
You may know them as sugar ants, but their real name is 𝐎𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐬!

They earned the “sugar ant” nickname because of their love for sweets, while their real name comes from the distinct odor they release when crushed, often compared to rotten coconut. 🥥

If you’re spotting trails of these tiny visitors around your home, Critter Ridders can help! 🐜

Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood but they do tunnel through it to build their nests. Over time, this can weaken wooden structures and lead to costly repairs.

Watch for signs like:
• Large black ants inside your home
• Small piles of sawdust-like wood shavings
• Rustling sounds inside walls
• Winged ants indoors

As temperatures rise, wasps become more active while building nests around homes, garages, decks, sheds, and eaves.

To help reduce your chances of an unwanted nest:
• Inspect your property regularly.
• Keep garbage cans tightly sealed.
• Clean up food and sugary drinks outdoors.
• Seal small gaps where nests may be started.

Termites may be small, but they can quietly damage the structure of your home over time.

Simple steps like reducing moisture, storing firewood away from your house, and scheduling routine inspections can make a big difference.

If you think termites may already be present, don’t wait.

Fleas can quickly become a headache for both pets and homeowners, but a few simple steps can help keep them away:

• Keep your lawn mowed and remove yard debris where fleas like to hide.
• Wash pet bedding regularly in hot water.
• Vacuum carpets, rugs, and furniture often.
• Keep pets on veterinarian-approved flea prevention year-round.
• Treat your yard if fleas become a recurring problem.
• Seal entry points to help keep wildlife—and the fleas they carry—away from your home.

If fleas have already made themselves comfortable, professional treatment may be the fastest way to eliminate them.

If you’re only treating the ants you can see, chances are you’re not solving the real problem.

Help prevent sugar ants by:
• Cleaning up sugary spills right away.
• Sealing cracks and entry points around your home.
• Fixing moisture issues like dripping faucets.
• Taking out the garbage regularly.
• Keeping food sealed and off countertops.

The ants you see are often just a small part of a much larger colony.
If they keep coming back, it’s time for a professional solution.

Wood-destroying beetles may be small, but the damage they leave behind can be significant. Tiny exit holes and fine, powdery sawdust are often the first clues that beetles have been hard at work inside your wood.

Watch for:
• Tiny round exit holes
• Powdery sawdust (frass)
• Damaged wood on decks, beams, trim, or furniture

Hornets play an important role in nature by helping control other insect populations, but their nests can become a serious safety concern when they’re built near homes, businesses, or areas with frequent foot traffic.

Here are a few things to know about hornets:
• They build large paper nests in trees, shrubs, under eaves, and other sheltered areas.
• Hornets become especially protective when their nest is disturbed.
• Their stings can be painful, and multiple stings can pose a serious risk to people and pets.

If you notice increased hornet activity or discover a nest on your property, it’s best to keep your distance and avoid attempting to remove it yourself.
