How you store your firewood can make a big difference when it comes to pest prevention.
Wood piles can become hiding places for:
🕷️ Spiders
🐜 Ants
🐭 Rodents
🐛 Other moisture-loving insects
To help keep pests away:
✔️ Store firewood at least 20 feet from your home when possible.
✔️ Keep it elevated off the ground.
✔️ Only bring in the wood you’ll use that day.
✔️ Check logs before carrying them inside.
A little extra effort now can help keep unwanted guests outdoors where they belong.
One of the most satisfying parts of a pest control service? De-webbing! 🕸️✨
Removing spider webs isn’t just about making your home look cleaner, it’s an important step in reducing pest activity around your property.
Here’s why our technicians de-web during service:
🕷️ Removes existing spider webs and egg sacs.
🏡 Improves your home’s curb appeal.
🐜 Eliminates areas where insects can become trapped and attract even more spiders.
🔍 Makes it easier to spot new spider activity between visits.
In the Pacific Northwest, spiders become especially active as late summer transitions into fall, making routine de-webbing even more important this time of year.
And let’s be honest... watching years of cobwebs disappear in seconds is oddly satisfying. 😮💨✨
Your home deserves to look just as good as it feels, and we’re here to help keep it that way.

Despite their name, bald-faced hornets are actually a type of yellowjacket, not true hornets! 🤯
These black-and-white stinging insects build large, paper-like nests that are often found:
🌳 In trees
🌿 Shrubs
🏡 Under rooflines
🛝 Around playgrounds and sheds
Unlike bees, they can sting multiple times and become very defensive if their nest is disturbed.
If you spot a large aerial nest around your property, it’s best to keep your distance and leave removal to the professionals.
Wasps have quite the reputation.... but not everything you’ve heard is true. Let’s bust a few common myths! 👇
❌ Myth #1: All wasps are aggressive.
✅ Most wasps are focused on finding food and protecting their nest. They typically become aggressive only when they feel threatened.
❌ Myth #2: Knocking down the nest solves the problem.
✅ If the queen survives or returning wasps are still active, the problem can continue. Proper treatment is the safest and most effective solution.
❌ Myth #3: Wasps only build nests in trees.
✅ In the Pacific Northwest, nests can also be found under eaves, inside wall voids, beneath decks, in sheds, and around playground equipment.
As summer winds down, wasp colonies are at their largest, making late summer one of the busiest times for wasp activity in the PNW.
If you notice increased wasp traffic around your home, give them plenty of space and avoid disturbing the nest.
Remember... the only buzzing you should hear this weekend is your lawn mower, not a wasp nest over your front door. 😂🐝
Spiders might not be everyone’s favorite houseguest... but they actually play an important role outdoors! 🌿
They’re natural predators that help keep populations of insects like:
🦟 Mosquitoes
🪰 Flies
🐜 Ants
🪳 Small crawling insects
The problem starts when spiders decide your porch, garage, or basement makes a better hunting ground than your backyard.
Keeping insect populations under control is one of the best ways to reduce spider activity around your home.
Less food = fewer spiders. It’s that simple!
Summer in the Pacific Northwest means more time outside... but it also means bloodsucking insects are out looking for their next meal. 🦟😖
Here’s how to make your yard less inviting:
💧 Dump standing water from buckets, flower pots, and bird baths.
🌿 Keep grass and shrubs trimmed to reduce shady resting spots.
🚪 Repair damaged window and door screens.
🗑️ Eliminate areas where water can collect after rain.
🦟 Schedule routine mosquito treatments to keep populations under control.
A few simple steps can make a big difference in helping you enjoy your backyard all summer long. ☀️🏡
Let Pointe Pest Control help keep the biting pests away, so you can spend more time outside and less time swatting. 💪
Have you noticed wasp nests popping up everywhere lately? 🐝👀
There’s a reason, and it’s all thanks to summer.
Here’s what’s happening:
☀️ Warm temperatures help colonies grow quickly.
🐛 An abundance of insects gives wasps plenty of food to feed their young.
👑 The queen is busy expanding the colony every day.
🏡 Eaves, decks, fences, sheds, and play structures become ideal nesting locations.
A nest that looked small a few weeks ago can grow into a much larger colony before summer is over. ⚠️
If you spot a wasp nest around your home, avoid disturbing it. Wasps can become aggressive when they feel their nest is threatened.
Let Pointe Pest Control safely handle the problem so you can enjoy your summer without the stings. 💪🐝
