Not every pest control company handles yellow jackets the same way, and hiring the wrong one can mean a nest that gets disturbed rather than removed. Before booking an exterminator in Buffalo, Amherst, Cheektowaga, or elsewhere in Western New York, homeowners should compare licensing, treatment methods, nest expertise, response time, and guarantees, the details that separate a lasting fix from a quick spray.
We promise you aren't imagining things — yellow jackets really do get meaner as summer winds down. By late summer, colonies have reached their largest size, their usual food supply starts running short, and workers shift from hunting insects to scavenging sugary human food.

Learn how to tell the difference between a beehive and a wasp nest by comparing their materials, locations, appearance, occupants, sting behavior, and potential risks. This guide also explains when Western New York homeowners should contact a beekeeper or a pest control professional.
For Buffalo-area families, professional tick and mosquito control from a licensed, eco-friendly company reduces disease risk and is safer than repeatedly over-applying consumer pesticides around children and pets.
Tick activity rises sharply across Western New York every late May and June, driven by warming temperatures, high humidity, and the wildlife that carries these pests into local yards year-round. Once ticks establish themselves on a property, they spread quickly between yards, pets, and homes — and can transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and other illnesses along the way.
Ticks and mosquitoes aren't just a backyard nuisance in Erie County — they can transmit Lyme disease, heartworm, and West Nile virus to dogs and cats. Keeping pets safe takes a layered approach: pet-friendly yard maintenance, regular veterinary care and following your veterinarian's recommended preventive treatments, along with professional barrier treatments from Eco Serve.

But when exactly do ants come out in Western New York, and why does spring trigger their activity?

They are often mistaken for pavement ants, odorous house ants or even termites, but knowing the differences helps you choose the right treatment. This guide explains how to recognize each pest and offers prevention tips so you can protect your family and property.
