Advanced Pest Control

Just an ordinary day!!!

It's that time of year again! As soon as the first spring flowers start poking out of the ground (crocuses, tulips, and daffodils), the first round of pollinators start to wake from their winter slumber. These include digger bees, miner bees, bumble bees, and sweat bees. These small bees are incredibly important pollinators. Although they might appear in large numbers, these mainly solitary bees are very docile and pose very little threat to people and pets. It is recommended to not treat or use any chemicals, as they will disappear after about a month, having done their jobs.

If you haven't heard or seen anything already about the Joro Spider "invading" the East Coast this is a great short read on why we shouldn't be scared.
P.S. They eat Stink Bugs

Opinion | The most annoying thing about joro spiders is part of why they're actually great They are bright yellow, blue and red, can grow to 3 inches wide and can weave webs that are nearly 10 feet deep. They are also totally harmless.

It's amazing what nature can produce, this beautifully crafted nest. Unfortunately, also can be very dangerous hanging in a tree near a walk way, play area or where you mow. Bald Faced Hornets are aggressive and very protective of their nest, guards are always on the look out for potential threats.

How lovely thank you for the kind words

Spring is around the corner, with the warmer weather you may start to see a few Stink Bugs, Conifer Seed Bugs, Boxelder Bugs in and around the house. They are just waking up from their overwintering spot with the intention of getting back to their trees/plants. Not an infestation, just a nuisance.

It seems the stinks bugs are aware of the weather change. This time of year they try to find a place to over winter. They are considered a nuisance not an infestation since they do no harm. They are not nesting, again just looking to survive. It can be in a wall void which is why you might see one inside (which is not where they want to be).
