🐝 Pest Spotlight: What Attracts Yellow Jackets?

Ever wonder why yellow jackets always seem to show up at the cookout? 🍔🥤

They're attracted to many of the same things we enjoy during the summer, including:
🍉 Sweet foods
🥤 Sugary drinks
🍔 Grilled meats
🗑️ Open trash cans
🐾 Pet food left outside

Keeping outdoor areas clean and food covered can help reduce unwanted visitors while you're enjoying time outside.

Summer is for making memories—not sharing your lunch with yellow jackets.

🚨 Mosquito Alert for NEPA

The Luzerne Conservation District has confirmed mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus in both Wyoming Borough and West Pittston Borough.

While mosquito activity is common throughout the summer, this serves as an important reminder to take preventative steps to protect yourself, your family, and your pets.

Here's how you can help reduce mosquito activity around your home:
🦟 Eliminate standing water from bird baths, buckets, flowerpot saucers, tires, and clogged gutters.
🦟 Avoid prolonged outdoor activity during peak mosquito hours, especially around dusk and dawn.
🦟 Wear long sleeves and pants when possible, and use an EPA-registered insect repellent when spending time outdoors.

Mosquitoes can breed in even small amounts of standing water, so taking a few minutes to inspect your property can make a big difference.

Stay informed, stay proactive, and enjoy your summer safely.

🐝 Pest Spotlight: Why Are Yellow Jackets So Aggressive?

If you've noticed more aggressive yellow jackets lately, you're not imagining it.

As summer progresses, yellow jacket colonies continue to grow. With larger colonies comes more competition for food and a stronger instinct to defend their territory.

That's why activity often feels more noticeable during July and August.

The best approach? Stay aware of increased activity around your home and avoid disturbing areas where yellow jackets may be active.

🦟 Mosquito Spotlight: When Are Mosquitoes Most Active?

Planning to spend the evening outside? Mosquitoes are too.

Mosquito activity is typically highest:
🌅 Around sunrise
🌇 Around sunset
💧 After periods of rain
🌳 In shaded, humid areas

If you've noticed mosquitoes becoming more active during evening cookouts or relaxing on the patio, there's a reason.

Knowing when mosquitoes are most active can help you better prepare before heading outdoors this summer.

🐝 Pest Spotlight: Why Do Yellow Jackets Love BBQs?

If you've ever had yellow jackets crash your backyard cookout, you're not alone.

Summer gatherings naturally attract them because they're searching for easy food sources like:
🍔 Grilled meats
🥤 Sweet drinks
🍉 Fruit
🍰 Desserts
🗑️ Open garbage

A few simple habits—keeping food covered, cleaning up spills, and sealing trash bins—can help reduce activity around your next gathering.

Enjoy the barbecue... and leave the uninvited guests outside the menu. ☀️

🦟 Mosquito Spotlight: Why Do Mosquitoes Always Bite Me?

Ever feel like you're the one mosquitoes always find first? You're not imagining it.

Mosquitoes are attracted to a combination of things, including:
🫁 Carbon dioxide from your breath
🌡️ Body heat
💧 Sweat and body odor
👕 Even darker-colored clothing

While some people naturally attract mosquitoes more than others, reducing standing water around your property and staying proactive can help make your outdoor spaces more enjoyable this summer.

Looks like mosquitoes really do have favorites. 😅

🐝 Pest Spotlight: Yellow Jackets

Think you've spotted a yellow jacket? Here's how to tell.

Unlike honey bees, yellow jackets have:
⚠️ Bright black and yellow markings
⚠️ A smooth, shiny body (not fuzzy)
⚠️ A narrow waist
⚠️ Fast, direct flight patterns

They're often mistaken for bees, but knowing the difference can help you better understand the activity around your home this summer.

As temperatures continue to rise throughout NEPA, yellow jackets become one of the most commonly seen stinging insects around homes, patios, and outdoor spaces.

The more you know, the better prepared you'll be.
