⚫⚪ Fun Fact Friday: Bald-Faced Hornets! 🐝

Did you know that bald-faced hornets aren't actually true hornets? They're a type of aerial yellowjacket wasp known for their striking black-and-white markings and their impressive paper nests!

🏡 By late summer, a single bald-faced hornet nest can grow larger than a basketball and house hundreds of workers. While they help control other insect populations by preying on flies, caterpillars, and other pests, they're also very protective of their nests and can become aggressive if disturbed.

If you spot a bald-faced hornet nest on or around your home, it's best to admire it from a safe distance and let the professionals handle the rest.

🐜 A Hidden World Beneath Your Feet!

Check out this incredible photo our service technician, Tom, captured during a routine termite bait station inspection.

This underground ant colony decided to make one of the bait stations its home! The white, rice-like objects you see are the colony's developing brood (larvae and pupae)—a sign of a thriving ant colony.

While these aren't termites, routine termite bait station inspections do more than monitor for termite activity. They also give us a fascinating glimpse into the hidden world beneath the soil and the many insects that call it home.

Regular inspections are an important part of keeping your termite protection system working properly and ensuring your home stays protected year-round.

🚨🔴 Lehigh Valley Alert: Spotted Lanternflies Are Back! 🔴⚫

If it seems like you're seeing spotted lanternflies everywhere lately... you're not imagining it! They're one of the most talked-about pests in the Lehigh Valley right now as adults begin emerging across the area.

While they don't bite or sting people, these invasive insects can damage:
🌳 Trees
🍇 Grapevines
🌼 Ornamental plants
🌿 Other valuable vegetation by feeding on sap

💡 What should you do if you see one?
✔️ If it's safe to do so, squash it.
✔️ Check your vehicles, outdoor furniture, grills, and equipment before traveling—they're excellent hitchhikers!
✔️ Keep an eye out for large groups gathering on tree trunks, fences, and other outdoor surfaces.

🛠️🐝 Tech Tip Wednesday: What To Do When Wasps Move In!

Wasps can be helpful outdoor predators, but when they decide your home is the perfect place to build a nest... they can quickly become unwanted guests! 🏡😬

Here are a few tips from our team to help keep you and your family safe:

✅ Stay calm and avoid swatting — waving your arms or trying to hit a wasp can make it feel threatened and increase the chance of being stung.

✅ Watch where they’re coming from — if you notice wasps repeatedly entering and exiting the same area, there may be a nest nearby.

✅ Keep food and drinks covered outdoors — sugary drinks, fruit, and leftover food can attract hungry wasps during outdoor gatherings.

✅ Seal up entry points — check around siding, soffits, vents, and gaps around windows where wasps may find a place to build.

✅ Don’t disturb an active nest — some wasp species can become aggressive when their home is threatened. It’s best to leave removal to trained professionals.

🐝 Yellow Jacket Activity Caught on Camera! 🐝

Check out this video captured by our service technician, Mark, showing yellow jackets flying in and out of a nest located inside an exterior wall of one of our client's homes.

Yellow jackets are known for building nests in hidden locations like wall voids, attics, ground openings, and other protected areas. While they may appear calm while entering and exiting the nest, they can become very defensive when their nest is disturbed.

If you notice increased yellow jacket activity around your home, especially near siding, soffits, or openings in your exterior walls, it could be a sign of a hidden nest nearby.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A cockroach has officially been promoted to field reporter. 🪳🎤

A KTLA reporter recently went viral after a cockroach landed on her during a live broadcast... and somehow she finished the entire report without missing a beat. We can't decide what's more impressive—the reporter's composure or the roach's confidence! 😳😂 The incident quickly spread online, with viewers praising her professionalism.

Here's your friendly reminder:
🪳 If a cockroach shows up uninvited, it's probably not looking for its 15 minutes of fame—it may be looking for food, water, or shelter.

Thankfully, your home doesn't have to become the next viral story.

🎥 Would you have stayed calm... or would your live report have turned into an Olympic sprint? Be honest—we won't judge! 😂👇

“Trying to steal my thunder,” reporter Rachel Menitoff joked about the creepy critter.

🐜 Monday Pest Spotlight: Ants! 🐜

📣 The feedback is in... every single one of our technicians has been seeing and treating ant activity lately!

So, why are ants suddenly everywhere?

🌡️ This time of year, hot temperatures and dry conditions drive ants to search for food and, more importantly, water. Once one ant finds a reliable source inside your home, it leaves a scent trail for the rest of the colony to follow—which is why a few ants can quickly turn into hundreds!

💡 Pro Tip: Don't just spray the ants you see. The real problem is the colony, and surface sprays rarely eliminate it.

If ants have started marching through your home, give Quest Termite & Pest Management a call. We'll find the source and help stop the invasion!
