PREVENTION AND SAFETY TIPS

Bees, wasps, and hornets typically build nests in eaves, trees, attics, sheds, and wall voids. To reduce the chances of stings or infestations, avoid disturbing nests and keep food and trash sealed when outdoors. Wearing light-colored clothing and avoiding perfumes can also reduce the likelihood of attracting them.

Inspect your home’s exterior regularly for small nests in early spring, when colonies begin to form. Early detection allows for quicker, safer removal before they expand. Avoid spraying nests yourself, especially if you are unsure about the species or are allergic to stings.

For best results, trust Touchdown Pest Control’s certified professionals to assess the situation and implement the safest removal solution possible—whether it’s a honey bee relocation or hornet extermination. Our team ensures complete elimination with minimal risk to your household and property.

Bed Bug Control and Professional Treatment Solutions

Bed bugs are persistent parasites that require professional intervention to remove completely. Chemical sprays alone are rarely effective unless directly applied to live bed bugs. Even then, eggs and hidden nymphs can survive. DIY sprays provide only temporary relief. For long-lasting protection, our approach includes both chemical treatment and non-chemical methods such as heat application, mattress encasements, and monitoring systems. Vacuuming and decluttering are critical during and after treatment to support full elimination.

BED BUG BITES & HEALTH RISKS

Unlike fleas or mosquitoes, bed bugs do not spread disease, but their bites can cause intense itching, welts, allergic reactions, and sleep disruption. Bed bug bites typically appear in clusters or lines, often on exposed skin such as arms, neck, and legs. Although bites are usually not dangerous, scratching can lead to secondary infections. In some individuals, repeated bites may result in heightened sensitivity, insomnia, or psychological stress. If symptoms worsen or spread, consult a healthcare provider. Other insect bites commonly confused with bed bugs include fleas, mosquitoes, mites, ticks, and lice.

IDENTIFYING STINGING INSECTS

Wasps and hornets are typically more aggressive than bees and are identifiable by their slender, elongated bodies and shiny, hairless appearance. Bees are generally more docile, rounder, and hairy, and may be seen pollinating flowers. Nests can vary—paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests, hornets create large ball-shaped structures, and bees form waxy hives in sheltered areas.

Where Nests Are Found

Nests can appear under eaves, in attics, trees, walls, sheds, or even underground. Early detection is crucial. A small nest in spring can grow into a large, aggressive colony by summer. If buzzing activity increases or you spot a visible nest, avoid the area and call for professional help immediately.

Signs of Nest Activity
  • Increased insect presence near doors, windows, or eaves
  • Visible nests under gutters, trees, decks, or attic corners
  • Buzzing sounds inside walls or around your property
  • Swarming behavior or insects entering and exiting holes or cracks
Reproduction and Nest Growth

Queen wasps and hornets start new nests each spring. As the colony grows, so does the risk of stings and aggressive behavior. Colonies may house hundreds to thousands of stinging insects by late summer. Without removal, these pests can return yearly or even expand into other parts of your property.

Why Professional Removal Is Necessary

DIY nest removal can be extremely dangerous. Touchdown Pest Control uses protective equipment, specialized tools, and expert techniques to eliminate nests safely. Our treatments are designed to neutralize active colonies and prevent regrowth. Whether it’s a beehive relocation or hornet extermination, we tailor our services to ensure complete safety and lasting protection.
