🍂 FALL PEST INVADER #30: GROUND BEETLES 🪲

Did you know? 👀

As fall temperatures change in Oklahoma, ground beetles may show up around foundations, garages and doorways. They often wander indoors by accident while searching for shelter, especially when outdoor conditions change.

🪲 A few interesting ground beetle facts

• Many ground beetles are dark brown or black with shiny, hard wing covers.

• Most are harmless to people and do not infest stored food.

• Many species are beneficial predators that feed on other insects and small pests.

• They hide under rocks, mulch, leaves and other debris during the day.

• Outdoor lights can attract some beetles toward doors and windows at night.

• Finding one indoors does not necessarily mean you have an infestation.

🍂 What can you do?

Seal gaps around doors and windows, replace worn weatherstripping and move leaves or mulch away from your foundation. Reduce unnecessary outdoor lighting near entryways when possible.

If beetles keep showing up inside, a professional inspection can help identify where they are entering and recommend the right treatment.

🍂 FALL PEST INVADER #29: PAPER WASPS 🐝

Did you know? 👀

Paper wasps are common around Oklahoma homes and can build nests under eaves, porch ceilings, decks and other sheltered areas. During the fall, their colonies prepare for winter, and you may still spot wasps around your home on warm days.

🐝 A few interesting paper wasp facts

• Their nests look like open umbrellas made from a papery material.

• They build nests from wood fibers mixed with saliva.

• Paper wasps feed on caterpillars and other insects, helping control some garden pests.

• Unlike honeybees, paper wasps can sting more than once.

• They may become defensive if someone gets too close to their nest.

• Many workers die as winter arrives, while newly mated queens seek sheltered places to survive until spring.

🍂 What can you do?

Inspect eaves, sheds, porches and outdoor structures for nests. Keep your distance if you find one, and never knock down an active nest with your bare hands.

If wasps are nesting close to doors, walkways or areas your family uses, professional pest control can help address the problem safely.

🍂 FALL PEST INVADER #28: BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS 🕷️

Did you know? 👀

As temperatures cool down, spiders can become more noticeable around Oklahoma homes. Black widows prefer dark, quiet areas where they can build their messy, irregular webs.

🕷️ A few interesting black widow facts

• Female black widows are usually shiny black with a red hourglass marking underneath the abdomen

• They prefer dark, undisturbed places such as sheds, garages, crawl spaces and woodpiles

• Their webs are irregular and tangled rather than neat and symmetrical

• They are generally shy and try to avoid people

• They are venomous, so it is best to avoid handling them

• Wearing gloves when moving items stored in dark areas can provide an extra layer of protection

🍂 What can you do?

Keep garages, sheds and storage areas clean and organized. Remove unnecessary clutter and be careful when reaching into dark or undisturbed areas.

If you are seeing spiders regularly around your home, a professional pest treatment can help reduce the insects they feed on and the places where they hide.

🍂 FALL PEST INVADER #27: YELLOWJACKETS 🐝

Did you know? 👀

Fall can be one of the most active times of year for yellowjackets in Oklahoma. As their colonies become more active and food becomes harder to find, they can become noticeably more aggressive around homes, patios and outdoor gatherings.

🐝 A few interesting yellowjacket facts

• Yellowjackets are actually wasps, not bees

• They are attracted to sugary drinks, fruit and other sweet foods

• They can sting multiple times because they do not lose their stinger

• Nests can be built underground, inside wall voids or in protected areas around buildings

• Their activity can increase around late summer and early fall

• Accidentally disturbing a nest can cause multiple yellowjackets to defend it

🍂 What can you do?

Keep food and drinks covered when outside and keep trash containers tightly sealed. Be especially careful around areas where you see repeated yellowjacket activity. If you suspect a nest near your home, professional treatment is the safest option.

When temperatures start dropping in Oklahoma, mice begin looking for warm, protected places to escape the cold. Your home can quickly become the perfect shelter.

🐭 A few interesting mouse facts

• Mice can squeeze through openings about the size of a dime

• They are excellent climbers and can travel through walls, attics and cabinets

• A single pair can produce a surprising number of offspring in a year

• Mice are especially attracted to food, water and warm nesting areas

• They can contaminate food and leave droppings in areas where they travel

• Gnawing is a constant behavior and can damage wiring, insulation and other materials

🍂 What can you do?

Check around doors, pipes, vents and other openings for gaps. Keep food sealed and clean up crumbs and spills. If you start finding droppings or hearing scratching in your walls, attic or garage, it may be time to have the property inspected.

🍂 FALL PEST INVADER #25: GERMAN COCKROACHES 🪳

Did you know? 👀

German cockroaches are one of the most common cockroach problems found inside Oklahoma homes and businesses. As temperatures drop in the fall, they stay indoors where they can find warmth, food and moisture.

🪳 A few interesting German cockroach facts

• They are small, usually about ½ inch long

• Adults are light brown or tan with two dark stripes behind the head

• They reproduce extremely quickly, which means a small problem can become a major infestation

• They prefer warm, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms

• They are mostly active at night, so seeing one during the daytime can sometimes indicate a larger infestation

• They can hide in tiny cracks, behind appliances, inside cabinets and around plumbing

🍂 What can you do?

Keep food sealed, clean up crumbs and spills, reduce moisture and avoid leaving pet food out overnight. Most importantly, if you start seeing cockroaches regularly, professional treatment can help locate and eliminate the source instead of simply killing the ones you see.

Here’s #24, pharaoh ants 🐜. These are especially interesting because trying to eliminate them the wrong way can actually make the problem worse.

🐜 FALL PEST INVADER #24: PHARAOH ANTS

Did you know? 👀

Pharaoh ants are tiny ants that can become a serious nuisance inside homes, apartments, hospitals and commercial buildings. They are especially attracted to warm areas and readily available food and water.

🐜 A few interesting pharaoh ant facts

• Pharaoh ants are extremely small, usually only about 1/16 inch long.

• They can establish multiple nests throughout a building.

• If a colony is disturbed by certain insecticide sprays, it can split into multiple colonies and spread to new areas.

• They can travel through wall voids, plumbing areas and other hidden pathways.

• They are attracted to sweet foods as well as greasy and protein based foods.

🏠 What can you do?

Keep food sealed and clean up crumbs and spills quickly.

Fix plumbing leaks and eliminate unnecessary moisture.

Seal cracks and openings where possible.

If you see tiny ants repeatedly appearing in different areas of your home, avoid randomly spraying them. Proper identification and treatment are important with pharaoh ants.

A professional pest control program can help identify the species and use an appropriate treatment strategy.

🐜 FALL PEST INVADER #23: PAVEMENT ANTS

Did you know? 👀

When temperatures begin to change in Oklahoma, pavement ants may start searching for food and protected areas around homes and businesses. Their small size makes them easy to overlook until you suddenly notice a trail of ants inside.

🐜 A few interesting pavement ant facts

• Pavement ants get their name because they commonly build nests underneath sidewalks, driveways, patios and other paved areas.

• They are small, usually dark brown to black ants with lighter colored legs.

• They can enter buildings through tiny cracks around foundations, doors and windows.

• Once they find a food source, they can leave a chemical trail that helps other ants follow the same path.

• Colonies can contain thousands of ants.

🍂 What can you do?

Keep food sealed and clean up crumbs and spills quickly.

Check around the foundation for cracks and potential entry points.

Keep mulch, soil and vegetation from creating direct pathways into the structure.

If you see a steady trail of ants, avoid simply spraying the visible ants. Finding where they are coming from can be much more effective.

A professional pest control treatment can help identify entry points and reduce pavement ant activity around your property.

🪰 FALL PEST INVADER #22: CLUSTER FLIES

Did you know? 👀

When temperatures start dropping in Oklahoma, cluster flies may begin looking for warm, protected places to spend the winter. That can mean your home or business.

🪰 A few interesting cluster fly facts

• Cluster flies are slightly larger than common house flies and have a slower, more sluggish flight.

• They often gather on sunny exterior walls during the fall.

• They can enter through small cracks around windows, doors, siding and roof areas.

• Once inside, they may hide in attics, wall voids and other protected spaces.

• Warm, sunny days can bring them out of hiding, which is why you may suddenly notice several flies inside during the fall or winter.

🍂 What can you do?

Check around windows, doors, siding and other exterior areas for cracks and gaps.

Repair damaged screens and make sure doors have tight seals.

Pay attention to areas where flies are gathering on the outside of your home.

Vacuum indoor flies rather than crushing them on walls or windows.

A professional exterior treatment can help reduce cluster fly activity before they find their way inside.
