Summer is here. We're ready.
As summer settles in, pest activity really starts to ramp up, and the Arkansas heat creates the perfect conditions for bugs to thrive. From mosquitoes taking over backyards to ants, spiders, and other pests becoming more active around the home, summer is when consistent protection matters most. That’s why our Breezy Pros stay proactive all season long. We know how pests behave during the hottest months, where they hide, and what it takes to keep them from taking over your space. So while the bugs are busy this summer, your home can still feel exactly how it should: comfortable, calm, and pest free.

Signs you've got yellowjackets.
Visible nests
Their papery nests may be hidden underground or tucked into wall voids, trees, or shrubs.
Aggressive behavior
Yellowjackets are quick to sting if their nest feels threatened.
Buzzing sounds
A loud hum near walls, attics, or yards can signal an active colony.
More activity
Noticing lots of yellowjackets buzzing around trees, bushes, or the ground points to a nest nearby.
Helpful tips.
1. Seal entry points
Check for gaps around siding, soffits, and vents. A little caulk or screen repair keeps yellowjackets from sneaking into wall voids or attics.
2. Keep garbage sealed
Use trash cans with tight lids and empty them regularly. Nothing attracts yellowjackets like an open buffet of leftovers.
3. Maintain landscaping
Trim back shrubs, bushes, and overgrown areas near your home. Fewer hiding spots mean fewer nests nearby.
4. Cover food & drinks
Picnics and cookouts are prime yellowjacket territory. Keep food covered and drinks closed so they’re less tempted to crash the party.
5. Avoid nest disturbance
If you spot a nest, don’t poke or spray it yourself. Yellowjackets get aggressive fast—call a pro (like us) to handle it safely.
6. Use traps wisely
Hang yellowjacket traps a good distance from outdoor seating or play areas. They lure pests away instead of closer.
