Bed bugs can hitchhike home in more than just the clothes you wore—even unworn items in your suitcase may be at risk. A simple habit can help keep laundry separate: seal worn clothes in a bag, and keep your luggage off beds and upholstered furniture. But what should you check before unpacking at home?

Found mouse droppings? Poison isn’t your only option—and cleanup matters just as much as trapping. Before cleaning, ventilate the space for 30 minutes, then wet droppings before collecting them to help avoid stirring up contamination. Pair careful cleanup with removing food and water sources and sealing entry points. But what if fresh signs keep appearing after you’ve set traps?

A pest sighting in a restaurant doesn’t have to turn into a crisis—but the first steps matter. Keep people away if needed, protect exposed food, alert a supervisor, and document where and when the pest appeared. Then look beyond the spot itself: recurring clues near drains, storage areas, or worn door seals may reveal what’s attracting pests—or how they’re getting in.

Clearing away a spider web may not solve the problem—some spiders can rebuild in the same spot within 24 to 48 hours. The key is to tackle what keeps inviting them back, from clutter and entry gaps to the insects they feed on. Even a web’s appearance can offer a clue about whether it’s still in use—but what should you look for?

Not one, but TWO yellow jacket nests!

Our technician Allen had his hands full tackling these two massive yellow jacket nests for a customer!

Yellow jackets are more than just a backyard nuisance. They're highly defensive of their nests, and disturbing one can quickly turn into a dangerous situation.

And here's something worth remembering: Just because the temperatures are dropping doesn't mean yellow jackets are done causing trouble!

Thankfully, Allen was on the job, taking care of the problem and helping restore peace of mind for another customer.

Big nests. Big problems. The Assassin Advantage.

Have you spotted yellow jacket activity around your property? Leave the nest removal to the professionals.

A termite inspection usually takes just 45 to 60 minutes—and in most cases, inspectors won’t open your walls. Instead, they check accessible areas for clues like mud tubes, discarded wings, damaged wood, and moisture that could invite termites. Even a small sign can point to a spot that deserves a closer look. What else might an inspector discover in the places you least expect?

A rat can squeeze through an opening about the size of a quarter—so even a lid that looks closed may leave an easy way in. A tight-fitting lid with a secure latch helps, but the can’s base, food residue, and everyday storage habits matter too. Find out what to check beyond the lid to make your trash less inviting to rats.

Cold Weather Doesn't Mean Pest-Free Weather!
When winter settles into Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio, some pests go quiet, but others are just getting comfortable!
While mosquitoes and many outdoor insects slow down, plenty of unwanted guests are still active, and your warm, cozy home might be exactly what they're looking for.
Here are a few pests that DON'T take a winter break:
Mice & Rats: Cold temperatures send rodents searching for warmth, food, and shelter. Once inside, they can damage insulation, chew wiring, and contaminate surfaces.
Cockroaches: These unwelcome guests thrive in heated buildings and remain active all winter long.
Bed Bugs: Winter weather doesn't bother these pests when they're living comfortably indoors.
Spiders: Many species remain active inside homes, especially in basements, crawl spaces, and other sheltered areas.
Overwintering Pests: Stink bugs, lady beetles, and boxelder bugs may already be hiding in your walls and attic, occasionally making surprise appearances on warmer winter days.
The bottom line? Pest control isn't just a warm-weather service!
At Mosquito Assassin Pest Control, we understand the seasonal pest challenges homeowners and businesses face in our region. Our year-round pest management plans help protect your property long after the first frost.
Don't give pests a free winter stay. Experience the Assassin Advantage!
Because protecting your home shouldn't be seasonal.

House centipedes can look like something you’d rather not find sprinting across the floor—but they usually flee from people, and bites are rare and typically mild. Here’s the surprising part: these unsettling visitors also hunt other household pests, while repeated sightings may hint that those insects are around. So when is a centipede just an unexpected helper, and when is it a sign to look closer?
