INSECTS & RODENTS
Hornets/Yellow Jackets/All Wasps
Bees are a common problem during spring, summer & fall often in the spring when they are seeking to establish a new hive in or around the residential or commercial premises. Wasps or yellow jackets, can attack as a group and may sting many times. Yellow Jackets usually nest in the ground, rocks, tree stumps, wall cavities and void areas. Wasps usually nest under eves, overhangs, decks and windows. Wasps and Yellow Jackets can become even more aggressive later in the season. Hornets build large paper nests in trees or houses.

Bed Bugs
Bed bugs have been on a drastic increase over the last 5 years. Bed bugs feed on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded mammals. They conceal themselves in tight cracks and crevices. They are often found in furniture and bed parts, such as mattresses ,box springs, bed frames, couches and furniture.
Distinguishing characteristics: The adult bed bug is oval and flat. They grow to only about a quarter of an inch long (approximately the size of an apple seed). Bed bugs lack wings. Bed bugs use a piercing, sucking beak-like mouth part to penetrate the skin of their host. Adults are brown, but appear reddish-brown when engorged with blood.
