Insect Control

Trained eyes spot subtle indicators amateurs might miss, ensuring issues are addressed before they escalate.

Having bugs in our houses is quite normal. However, if you notice a sudden uptick in quantity, there's often a reason behind it. Seasonal weather changes, particularly warm to cool, drive bugs indoors as they look for comfort. Structural damage to your home can open up new ways for them to get in, and a new water leak somewhere in the house can invite them to get comfortable.

It’s very unusual for insurance to cover ant damage unless you have a specific rider to cover infestation damage. Homeowners insurance rarely covers any kind of ant, termite, or insect-related damage. It’s seen as part of expected home maintenance, a responsibility of the homeowner, not an unstoppable event like a break-in or a fire. That’s why it’s so important for homeowners to properly seal their home and make sure pests can’t get inside.

Yellow jackets are a type of wasp in the Vespula and Dolichovespula genera. Hornets are another type of wasp in the Vespa genus. Hornets and yellow jackets are closely related and are both known for being large and aggressive. They are often confused with one another, too. For example, the bald-faced hornet is actually a yellow jacket, and the European hornet, a true hornet, looks much like a yellow jacket.
