Bald-faced hornets chew their way out of their brood cell to join the colony, no doors needed. Twin Boro tech Tom made sure this "Great Escape" was their last. 🐝🚪

The damage is invisible until it isn't. Termites cause more damage nationwide every single year than fires, floods, and storms combined, and most of it isn't covered by insurance.

One rule, three numbers, way fewer squirrels raiding your bird feeder. Turns out the difference between "squirrel-proof" and "squirrel buffet" comes down to just a few feet.

Your sprinkler schedule might be inviting guests you didn't mean to invite. A few small adjustments can make your yard a lot less appealing to them.

Cockroaches like the night shift. They stay hidden while you're awake and come out once the lights go off.

So if you're seeing one crawl across the counter in broad daylight, that's not bad luck. It usually means the hiding spots are full and they're spilling out.

Seeing roaches during the day? Don't wait it out. Call Twin Boro.

Questing isn't hunting. It's an ambush.

A tick climbs onto grass or brush, anchors its back legs, and stretches its front legs out, waiting. It can't jump. It can't fly. It doesn't chase. It just waits, sometimes for hours, sensing body heat, carbon dioxide, and movement from whatever walks by. Entomologists call this behavior questing.

This is exactly what's happening in the photo: front legs extended, back legs gripping the leaf, ready to latch onto the next thing that brushes past.

You don't have to find a tick for it to find you. A walk through tall grass or a wooded edge is all it takes. Check yourself, your kids, and your pets after time outdoors.

A house sitting empty doesn't mean it's bed bug free. These pests don't need a host around to survive. They can go over a year without feeding, just waiting for someone to walk back through the door. That's why vacant units, rentals between tenants, and seasonal homes still need regular inspections. If your home's been sitting empty, or if you're managing a property that's been unoccupied, get it checked before moving back in.

Our tech Tom spotted this trail of odorous house ants marching along the tile during a routine visit. These guys love moisture, which is exactly why bathrooms and kitchens are their favorite hangout spots.

They're called "odorous" for a reason. Crush one and you'll notice a smell like rotten coconut. Not pleasant, but it's one of the easiest ways to confirm what you're dealing with.

A few scouts today can mean a much bigger colony nearby. And these ants don't play fair. Disturb the nest and they'll simply split up and rebuild elsewhere. That's why we don't just treat the ants you see. We track down the colony and stop the problem at its source.
