🔍 SPOT THE SIGN: Do you know what this means?

Look closely at that ductwork. Those aren't random smudges. They're prints and greasy trails left behind by something moving through the attic on a regular path.

The clues:
🖐️ Marks that look almost like little handprints
🛢️ Dark, greasy smears where oily fur rubs the same route again and again
🧗 Torn or flattened insulation and damaged ducts along the way
🌙 Noises overhead at night: heavy footsteps, scratching, thumping

Put it together and you've got a raccoon. They get into attics through roof gaps, soffits, and vents, then set up a travel route you can literally see once the dust builds up.

This is more than a nuisance. Raccoons chew wiring, shred ductwork and insulation, and leave droppings that can carry parasites and disease.

Seeing marks like these or hearing movement overhead in North Houston? Let us find how they're getting in and shut it down.

When you have a ton of things to get done for the Power of Pink CTX events, and your office staff agrees to bring their glue guns, this is what happens, LOL. Bra Pong at The Wagon Wheel Just getting started.

🕷️ PEST ID OF THE WEEK

If you've walked face-first into a web on your porch this month, there's a good chance this is who built it.

Big round abdomen, hairy legs, hanging dead center in a perfectly round web that seems to reappear every night across your doorway or eaves. As the season turns, these get large and very noticeable, which is why they suddenly seem to be everywhere.

The good news: it's harmless. Not aggressive, not dangerous to you or your pets, and it spends all night eating the mosquitoes and gnats you'd rather not have around anyway. Mostly it's just startling. Nobody loves a surprise web to the face on the way to the car.

So what is it? This is an orb weaver, the classic fall spider in North Houston.

If the webs around your doors and windows are getting out of hand, that's usually a sign of what they're feeding on nearby. We can treat the perimeter and cut down the bugs drawing them in.

THE UNDERTAKER — This potato came to bury your hunger.

It's peak wasp season in North Houston, and the nests are as full as they'll get all year.

That quiet nest under your eave in May could be housing well over 100 wasps right now. 🐝

Why it matters this month:

🔺 More wasps per nest means more defenders if one gets disturbed
🪜 Nests are tucked in high-traffic spots: door frames, patio covers, playsets, grills
🌡️ Warm weather keeps them active and foraging into the fall
🏡 One bumped nest near the patio can turn a backyard cookout into a scramble inside

Paper wasps aren't out to get you, but they will defend the nest, and this is the time of year when there are the most of them to do it.

If you're seeing steady wasp traffic to one spot around the house, don't wait it out. Let us handle the removal before someone gets stung!
