If it feels like wasps are building nests everywhere right now... you’re probably right. 😅🐝

Summer is peak nest-building season throughout the Pacific Northwest, and wasps are actively searching for places to establish colonies.

Some of their favorite spots include:

🏠 Eaves and rooflines
🌿 Shrubs and trees
🛠️ Sheds and play structures
☀️ Covered outdoor areas

They’re also attracted to:

💧 Water sources
🍔 Outdoor food and drinks
🗑️ Open trash cans
🌸 Flowering plants

The good news? Finding a nest early is much easier than dealing with a large one later in the season.

If you’re spending more time outdoors this summer, keep an eye on areas where wasps frequently travel back and forth, that’s often a sign a nest is nearby. 👀

Because in the PNW, summer isn’t just patio season...

It’s wasp season too. 🐝😬 ...

Summer in the Pacific Northwest is all about getting outside ☀️🌲

Whether you’re hiking, camping, grilling, or spending time by the water, there’s one thing many summer activities have in common...

🐜 Pests.

Here’s who tends to show up:

🥾 Hiking → Ticks
🏕️ Camping → Mosquitoes
🍔 BBQs → Ants, flies, and wasps
🌳 Backyard gatherings → Spiders and stinging insects
🏖️ Lakes and rivers → Mosquitoes looking for their next meal

The good news? A little awareness goes a long way.

✔️ Wear insect repellent
✔️ Check for ticks after outdoor activities
✔️ Keep food covered
✔️ Eliminate standing water around your property

Don’t let pests ruin your favorite season. Get outside and enjoy everything the PNW has to offer! 🌲😎

After storms in the PNW, it might feel like you suddenly see more bugs… and there’s a reason for that 😅🌧️

Storms don’t just bring rain.... they disrupt pest habitats and force them to move 👀🐜

Here’s what’s really happening:

💧 Flooded ground = displaced pests
Insects and rodents get pushed out of soil, burrows, and outdoor hiding spots

🏠 Dry shelter becomes priority #1
Your home, garage, and crawl spaces suddenly look very attractive

🌬️ Moisture drives activity indoors
Ants, spiders, and other pests follow humidity and water sources

🌿 Debris creates new hiding spots
Storms leave behind clutter, wood, and damp materials pests love

So it’s not that storms “create” pests… they just force them to relocate 😬

That’s why you often notice an increase right after heavy rain or wind events 👀

Staying ahead with sealing entry points and reducing moisture around your home makes a big difference 💪🌲

Pointe Pest Control is here to help keep post-storm pests from moving in. ...
