Ah, summer. The time of year when school is out, the temperature is high, and we find ourselves sharing space with ticks, mosquitoes, fire ants, horse flies, and a host of other creepy crawlies.

Knowing more about these insects and arachnids might not make you like them, but it could help you understand how to deal with them. (What exactly are those carpenter bees doing to your porch, anyway?)

We’ve written a series of posts to give you more information on our arthropod neighbors. So study up on the bad bugs of summer. And if there are other pests you want to know more about, please let us know!
