What does summer smell like? Fresh cut grass, burgers on the grill, corn on the cob?Memorial Day is literally right around the corner so we’re gearing up for our annual BBQ with friends, family, food and fun. What are your weekend plans?

The weather is heating up and flowers are in bloom. You may notice an increased number of bees buzzing around your yard, pollinating your plants. There are about 20,000 species of bees in the world!

Use caution this weekend when playing outdoors and always wear your shoes! Ground bees, such as solitary bees, wasps or yellow jackets, make nests in the ground and will sting when aggravated. Another type of bee, the Carpenter bee, is a wood boring insect, drilling holes through soft wood in order to lay eggs and protect their larvae. Keep an eye out for them around your deck as they could harm the structure.

Have you noticed either of these types of bees at your house? Don’t let them ruin your Memorial Day BBQ! Call Catseye Pest Control today to protect your home and your family.

Let Catseye detect the Carpenter Ant colonies in your home. Colony detection is an important step in eliminating the worker ants and finding the Queen. You see, the Queen will continually lay eggs, producing worker ants to grow her colony. Once she and all of her eggs are eliminated, the colony will suffer. The key is to detect the colony before any major structural damage has occured.

That’s right. When the weather heats up, you may notice Carpenter Ants. Carpenter Ants inside your house may indicate that a colony is present within the walls of your strucure. Call Catseye today for a full inspection.

Carpenter Ants engage in an excavation or “mining” process to construct a nesting site inside your home. This process causes structural damage. Once the process has begun, Carpenter Ants need to be eradicated from the home. From this point Exterior Protection is recommended to prevent the problem from occuring again.
