With spring in full force and summer on the way, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is raising the alarm on tick bites. https://www.wate.com/news/national/tick-bites-causing-highest-rate-of-er-visits-in-a-decade-cdc/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WATE_6_On_Your_Side

BEWARE: Ticks are typically associated with deep woods and hiking trails, but experts warn they may be much closer to home this year.

After a mild winter, tick populations are expected to surge across the Tennessee Valley, increasing the risk of tick-borne illnesses in both rural and residential areas.

The full story is in the comments.

Hello. I’m the Mud Dauber. Sorry about the "ugly" dirt tubes I’m building on your siding.

I know it looks like I’m starting a colony, but I’m a solitary architect. I don't have a hive to defend, which means I’m almost never aggressive. You could walk right past me, and I wouldn't care. I’m busy hunting.

I stuff each one of these mud tubes with 20-30 paralyzed spiders.

My favorite prey? Black Widows and Brown Recluses. I am a specialist at finding the dangerous spiders that hide in your woodpiles and eaves. I paralyze them, put them in my mud "pantry," and lay an egg.

What to do:
If the nest is in a spot where it won't be bumped, just leave it. I’m providing free, 24/7 spider control for your patio. Once the holes appear in the mud, I’m gone for the season. You can scrape the dry mud off then.

I’m sorry I look intimidating.
But your porch is a Black Widow-free zone because of me.

Hello. I’m the Mole. Sorry about the "speed bumps" I left in your front yard last night.

I know the ridges in the turf drive you crazy. You think I’m eating your grass roots, but I’m actually a carnivore. I’m down there swimming through the soil because I smelled something delicious: Japanese Beetle grubs.

I eat my entire body weight in grubs and larvae every 24 hours.

The grubs I eat are the ones that actually kill your lawn by disconnecting the grass from its roots. Plus, my tunnels act as a natural aeration system, allowing oxygen and rainwater to reach deep into the soil without you having to rent a machine.

What to do:
If my tunnels bother you, just step on them to press the grass back down. If you have "too many" moles, it’s a sign you have a massive grub infestation. Address the grubs, and I’ll move to the neighbor’s yard.

I’m sorry I’m messy.
But your soil is aerated and grub-free because of me.

It’s freezing outside… but some pests are staying cozy where it’s warm: *inside your home.* ❄️🐜

Even in cold weather, unwanted guests like spiders, rodents, and insects can hide in walls, attics, basements, and crawlspaces looking for food, water, and shelter.

If you’ve noticed strange noises, droppings, chew marks, or mysterious bug sightings, it might be time for a closer look.

Plateau Pest Control can inspect, identify, and help protect your home from winter invaders so you can stay comfortable all season long.

Send us a message or give us a call to schedule your winter pest check! 🏠🕷️🐭
