The National Pest Management Association has released the bi-annual Bug Barometer, and the forecast for our area is mixed. We may see a slower-than-normal start for ant and cockroach activity. However, stinging insects will likely increase population growth and activity. We recommend using the extra time before the ant and cockroach activity increases to take a look at your home and make a few minor adjustments to deter those pests further. You can also combat stinging insects like yellow jackets with some easy-to-implement tips.
