European starlings aren't native to North America, but they've become one of the most aggressive nuisance birds in the country. They nest in tight spaces like attics and wall voids, and a small entry point is all they need.

American dog ticks are one of the most common tick species found across Kansas, with adults most active from April through July.

They prefer open, grassy areas and will readily attach to both people and pets. They are known carriers of Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia.

After any time outdoors, do a full-body tick check. Ticks typically need several hours of attachment before disease transmission occurs, so early removal matters.

Keeping grass trimmed and placing a wood chip or gravel barrier between your lawn and wooded areas can help reduce tick habitat around your home.

Look what our technician found during an inspection, squirrels living in the attic!
This is more common than most homeowners realize. Here’s what to listen to and look for:

• Scratching or scurrying sounds
• Chewed wood, wiring, or insulation
• Entry holes around soffits, vents, or rooflines

Left unchecked, squirrels cause serious damage. Early detection makes all the difference!!

Warmer weather in Kansas means ant season is in full swing 🐜

During May and June, heavy rains and rising temperatures often drive ants indoors searching for food, water, and shelter. If you’re noticing ants in kitchens, bathrooms, or around windows and doors, acting early can help prevent colonies from growing and spreading throughout the home.

Barn swallows may be messy neighbors, but they’re incredibly beneficial birds that help control mosquitoes and other flying insects. Their mud nests are commonly found under porches, barns, and overhangs this time of year. Did you know that many birds, including barn swallows, are federally protected, so active nests with eggs or babies cannot legally be removed.

Need help identifying what kind of bird you have nesting around your home? Snap some pictures and we would be happy to help! We’ll let you know if the
bird is protected and if there’s anything we can do!
