As necessary as they are…why they gotta be so Mad?!

—Appearance:
Workers are about (12–19 mm) long. Their distinctive white face and white markings on the abdomen make them easy to identify.
—Nests:
They build large, gray, football-shaped paper nests by chewing weathered wood into a pulp. Nests are commonly suspended from tree branches, shrubs, or sometimes attached to buildings, and can grow to nearly 2 feet (60 cm) long by late summer.
—Diet:
Adults feed on nectar and other sugary foods, while they hunt flies, caterpillars, spiders, and other insects to feed their larvae. Because they eat many garden pests, they’re considered beneficial predators.
—Behavior:
Away from the nest they’re usually not interested in people. However, they are extremely defensive if someone comes close to their nest and will attack in groups if they perceive a threat.
—Stings:
Unlike honey bees, they have smooth stingers and can sting repeatedly. For most people, stings are painful but not dangerous, though anyone with a severe allergy to insect stings should seek emergency medical care if stung.

One unusual defense is that bald-faced hornets can spray venom toward the eyes of an attacker in addition to stinging, which can cause intense irritation.

Spider of the day: Juvenile Black Widow. Those white, orange, and brown markings disappear as they mature into the glossy black adults most people recognize.

Do not handle dangerous spiders!

Major yellow jacket problem for a client in Green valley ranch area of Denver!

I know they are necessary but being in a feud with an insect because it caught you looking crossways is a tad ridiculous. 😤

Thankfully these Yellowjackets will be gone in a few days for them 👌😏

When life hands you bats….. let that SUCKER GO!

Kidding, be gentle and let it go.

Bats are essential to the ecosystem and take care of many different bugs that fly about and would otherwise ruin your evening.

Be grateful for the bat 🦇

Got rabbits burrowing?

Don’t ask the Doc what’s up….ask 5280 Pest Control how we can solve it.

One way door aptly placed and some time and we can get those guys gone from your porches, decks, foundations, you name it.

Have that Rabbit thinking he took a wrong turn somewhere 👌👌

On today’s episode of how are mice getting into my home….

A two sided entry point right at the foundation level. This entry was right behind what I would call the back wall of the storage/utility room.

The most activity was in this area and makes sense that this entry point was the cause
