Listen to today's podcast... I hate donating blood … to mosquitoes. They are ruining my lovely gardening morning. Frogs and bats: it's time to step up and do your part! Get rid of the angry, blood-sucking, pesky mosquitoes, so that I can enjoy my outdoor sanctuary again! Please and thank-you! It's National Mosquito Control Awareness Week. Mosquitos are one of the few downsides to where we live in cottage country. Fortunately, for everyone else, if I am around the chances of you getting bit is far less. I was out in my garden for just a few minutes and was being attacked by these mini monsters.   I love this kids poem that I found:   Mosquitos, Mosquitos You are hard to ignore, I itch and I scratch, I can't stand anymore, you've bitten my bottom, you've bitten my top, mosquitos, mosquitos, I'm begging you stop. Unknown. Sometimes it is the big things that challenge us and get on our nerves. Sometimes it little pesky things that send us over the edge.  Resiliency is all about our ability to bounce and move forward.  Today seems more of a fly swatter day, than a bouncing kind of day.

Burrowing Shrimp dig into the sand and make tunnels underground. In doing so they kick up about a handful of sand up to the surface everyday, and bury clams and oysters. That’s a problem for shellfish farmers. Researchers at the University of Washington found a new way to get rid of the pests with the help of concrete vibrators. Guests: Jennifer Ruesink, a biology professor at the University of Washington and the senior author of a recent paper on the technique.

Jordan, Brian, and Jack recap a series win in Cleveland for the Boston Red Sox. The team can't seem to figure out the opener for Brayan Bello outings, which is beginning to rear its ugly head. However, the offense is waking up, particularly from outfielder Jarren Duran and infielders Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Caleb Durbin. Even though Steven Kwan missed this series for the Guardians, the Red Sox still took two of three from a first-place team, leaving them two games over .500 on the road. If they ever can figure out how to win at Fenway Park, they might be able to right the ship in 2026.Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, @ThePeskyReport. We are officially a part of Beyond The MonsterTwitter: @BeyondtheMnstrSubstack: https://beyondthemonster.substack.com/ This episode is brought to you by TJStats — advanced MLB stats and tools including pitcher summaries, prospect rankings, and live pitch data.

They also talked about how good Early and Tolle have been and thats what makes the roster situation so weird, because there's so much “talent” but it doesn't translate into wins.  Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, @ThePeskyReport. We are officially a part of Beyond The MonsterTwitter: @BeyondtheMnstrSubstack: https://beyondthemonster.substack.com/ This episode is brought to you by TJStats — advanced MLB stats and tools including pitcher summaries, prospect rankings, and live pitch data.

Welcome to another episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast! In today’s episode, Michael Wienecke and Travis McGowin peel back the mask on one of nature’s most clever “bandits”: the raccoon. While these “trash pandas” might look cute from a distance, the duo discusses the gritty reality of dealing with them, from their human-like dexterity used to tear into roofs to the serious health risks like rabies and roundworm. Whether they are falling into living rooms or turning your attic into a “two-for-one” special with a side of fleas, you’ll learn why you definitely don’t want these vicious critters as roommates. Like us on Facebook! Podcast Transcript:Michael: So Travis, when’s the last time you were in your attic?Travis: Uh, a couple weeks ago actually. I was, uh, running some wiring for a new Wi-Fi internet system at my house.Michael: Okay, well I can guarantee that most of humanity is not running Wi-Fi throughout their attic in their – on their spare time. Uh, is that what you did?Travis: Oh, I’ll tell you, I will tell you that if most of humanity experienced Wi-Fi like I have at my house, they would.Michael: I mean we got mics dropping, you know, internet going down, you know, I – we gotta have somebody that – that knows what he’s doing. Anyway, we’re getting way off topic. Uh, well for the people that are not in their attic right now, what is – uh, what are we seeing a lot of, you know, things that are crawling around in attics right now? Besides squirrels – I mean we just did a podcast on squirrels, but what’s the other – uh, bandit that – uh, is getting in the house?Travis: I mean definitely the appropriate question should always be like, what’s living in your attic?Michael: Or in your crawl space.Travis: Or in your crawl space. That is – uh, definitely an area of concern with this particular – uh, nuisance wildlife, but – uh, you know, I’ll just go and say it, raccoons. I mean raccoons are something that you – I don’t know why that was funny.Michael: ‘Cause we drew it out so long before talking about it.Travis: Yeah, we did. It was like, kept everyone in suspense clearly.Michael: I hope the suspense was suspenseful.Travis: Uh, so they probably want to hear more about my Wi-Fi at my house, but anyway.Michael: But no, the raccoons are definitely something that you don’t want living in your home.Travis: Uh, it was funny, I was – this has been – uh, probably like two years ago or so, but I was sitting on the floor in the living room one evening, it was after 7:00, 7:30 in the evening, – uh, playing with my kids and my phone vibrated and there was a voicemail on our business line. And it was a lady in Montgomery who – uh, she – uh, had left a message saying that she needed desperate help because there was a raccoon in her living room at that very moment.Michael: Did it fall through the floor?Travis: Uh, I don’t really know the logistics of how the raccoon got into the living room. Uh, you ever see that commercial where the lady’s like calling to her cat in the yard but she doesn’t have her glasses on or whatever and she like lets the raccoon in? I don’t know if it was a situation like that.Michael: Anyway, so I looked at my wife and I’m like, you know, it’s after dark but I’m gonna call this lady back. So I did call her back, she had somebody on the way – uh, and I followed up with her the next morning and they actually did in fact somehow catch the raccoon. Uh, I don’t know what exactly method, you know, what method they used or anything like that. But – uh, not something that you want to tangle with. Michael, why don’t you elaborate on why raccoons might not be as cute and cuddly as people think?Michael: Uh, well they have – they’re just vicious. I mean they look so – they look like a little baby cat from really far away and they’re puffy and, you know, I – I kind of – I’m gonna refer back to that – uh, I believe it was in another country but the lady that went and took pictures of the – the wild cat that was in the mountains in the snow. She got mauled pretty bad. So something that looks cute and cuddly – uh, with fangs and – and claws and all that – uh, can do some major damage. So just stay away from ’em, especially if you’re seeing ’em in the daytime.Travis: Yeah, you know, I have had one try to eat me through a cage before after trapping it.Michael: I’ve had a lot try to eat me through the cage.Travis: It did – it did not look cute and cuddly as it was like snarling at me trying to tear me up through the cage.Michael: So – uh, I was sold right then on the belief that they’re not as cute and cuddly as everybody thinks they are.Travis: But aside from their looks, you know, one of the biggest problems with them is rabies. Uh, I like what you said a second ago about, you know, not toying with ’em if you see ’em in the daytime. Uh, that’s a kind of – definitely a telltale sign, you know, raccoons coming around humans is a telltale sign.Michael: Well there’s a couple situations in the daytime, you know, if – if you’ve got the neighbor feeding the raccoon constantly and it’s good food then that could bring ’em out in the daytime. Uh, we see some of that. And then the other one would be either, you know, just maybe some – some reason it got uprooted from wherever it was. But typically the daytime is not – is not the best time to see a nocturnal animal.Travis: I very rarely ever see them in the daytime.Michael: Uh, I’ve had some strange encounters with raccoons now that I think about it. But – uh, there was one morning we had got up, it was still kind of dark outside, we were letting our dogs out, we were getting the kids up, getting them ready for school. And I just remember hearing the dogs outside just going completely nuts. I’m talking about like, you knew something was going on. It wasn’t like a barking at the neighbor or something like that. So – uh, I went outside to see what was going on and our dog at the time was, I’m talking about losing his mind about a raccoon walking through the yard. And that raccoon did not show me any regard, didn’t even act like it knew I was there, didn’t act like it knew the dog was there. Uh, you know my dog was just several, you know, a few inches, a foot away maybe barking and growling and just, you know, acting crazy. And the raccoon did not even attempt to defend itself or anything. So I – I honestly thought that something maybe like rabies or something was going on with that raccoon. He – he was not concerned about our existence.Michael: Well and he probably would have won that fight against you or – uh, your dog.Travis: Absolutely he would have.Michael: My – that dog was very much all bark, no bite. So – uh, I don’t see him winning a – a scuffle with a raccoon.Travis: But it was – it was very alarming that morning that the raccoon just did not try to get away, didn’t run, didn’t fight back, didn’t do anything, just kind of slowly just was, you know, meandering through there and – and – uh, you know that was kind of a – a weird encounter. So definitely could have been rabies.Michael: They all have rabies Travis. Every single raccoon has rabies – I mean really that’s the way I just treat it. Like don’t let ’em scratch you, don’t let ’em bite you, no harm no foul and then – uh, you’re good to go. So – uh, let’s talk about just like squirrels, you know – uh, the main ways that they get into your attic, into your living space, – uh, you know all that kind of stuff. What – what are some ways they get in?Travis: Well first of all access is very, very, very important. Uh, or should I say not giving them access. It brings up – uh, one of the customers that I trapped a raccoon for – uh, that was in Montgomery a couple of years ago. So – uh, we – we knew that there was noises in the attic, they weren’t sure what they were. So I went up in the attic. When I saw the droppings of a raccoon, I immediately got out of the attic. Uh, because I’m not going to be in an enclosed space with a raccoon. It’s very likely that he was probably there at the time – uh, during the day anyway. So – uh, you know, I – I did my inspection and they had a couple of trees here and there that were close to the house that I kind of suspected that the raccoon was going up and down the trunk of the tree and getting over on the roof line.Michael: Uh, and so, you know, that’s – that’s a big one. Obviously raccoons – uh, are very smart.Travis: Physically they’re very, you know for their size they’re strong. Uh, they’ve got great dexterity with their hands. Uh, basically almost human-like dexterity with their hands. And so, you know, they – they – they can sniff out if there’s a gap that they can exploit or something that they can tear into, they can sniff it out. And access, taking away that access is one huge – uh, advantage that you have as a homeowner in making sure that you don’t end up with one in your attic or your crawl space.Michael: Well and I like how you said too, I mean with the – with the dexterity of the human-like appendages, you know, they can tear shingles right out. Uh, we’ve seen holes in roofs, we’ve seen – uh, you had one – I think you had a really good picture of one that tore off a – a vent on a roof and was getting in through the vent.Travis: That was the house that I was just referencing. Uh, yeah there was – uh, you know some people refer to them like mushroom vents or whatever but there was a – an attic vent on top of the roof.Michael: And – uh, I did not 100% know that that was the access point up until we actually trapped him inside of the attic. So we live trapped him in the attic and then I removed him and then really got to wondering okay, well where did he come in at?Travis: And that was where I got back in the attic looking and found a stud that was helping support, you know, the structure of the roof and it had claw marks just tearing it up up and down.Michael: And right above that stud was that vent with the – the screen torn out of it.Travis: Mhm. Well and – uh, probably the bat screen?Michael: Uh, yeah just general wildlife screen and – and there’s actually a good picture of that on our website if anybody wants to go – uh, and look at Pesky’s Pest Control dot com under our wildlife page for raccoon and you’ll see there’s a – a side-by-side photo showing the inside view and the outside view and from the outside you would have never known at all.Travis: So it was pretty – pretty neat find there.Michael: But yeah they’re man, if they find a – if they find a gap, crack, crevice they can exploit they’ll do it.Travis: Well and they have all night too because I mean they’re sitting there while we’re sleeping and they’re – they’re up and spright and ready to go.Michael: So they have all night to work on that, you know, corner of your roof line or the gable vent or – or – you know – uh, a gap between where the – uh, soffit and the fascia meet. You know, what – whatever it could be they have all night and multiple nights to work on it.Travis: Right. Uh, yeah they – they’ve got nothing but time. I mean their – their existence is one of, you know, food, water, shelter just like most anything, any insect, any wildlife that we deal with those are their three priorities.Michael: Uh, and they would prefer to live in your attic. Uh, it was actually kind of crazy on that one. So there was one corner of the attic close to the eaves of the house where – uh, I don’t know if that was its, you know, latrine bathroom area, whatever it was that the raccoon had going on.Travis: But directly below that area in the attic in the living space of the house, the customer’s dog had started to – if it had access to that bedroom it would go into that towards that wall which was right below that and start to scratch and destroy the sheetrock. Like the – the dog was scratching and gnawing and trying to get at the sheetrock because it could smell it above it in the attic.Michael: Wow was it a chimney void that it was getting into or how was it getting in the house?Travis: No that was – that was the one that was just getting on the vent – uh, in – you know, getting on the roof using the tree and limbs to get over and going in but there was something that raccoon was using that corner of the attic for and the dog could smell it – uh, and did not like it clearly.Michael: Well the other great thing about getting raccoons and I mean this in a sarcastic way is it’s a two-for-one ’cause a lot of times when you get raccoons in an attic you also get what? Fleas.Travis: Oh and not just – I mean there’s so many other wildlife – uh, issues that you can have that they – you know, that bring fleas – I mean rats, – uh, possums carry fleas – I mean there’s – there’s so many. Uh, but yeah I mean that’s like a buy one get one free kind of deal that you didn’t ask for, you know.Michael: Oh that happened last year, a raccoon died in someone’s attic and – and it – it brought they had a flea infestation throughout their whole house we had to take care of as well as get the raccoon out of the – out of the attic space. Let’s talk about the damage that they do inside, you know, with the – the – the pooping and the peeing. They’re just nasty creatures.Travis: I mean they’re – they’re going through – uh, I – you know, before we were talking about this podcast I think you said trash panda which is, you know, a great – great – uh, term for a – a raccoon because that’s what they do.Michael: It’s purely affectionate. It’s a purely affectionate term because I love ’em so much.Travis: Well that’s what they do, they get in the trash cans and so let’s talk about that for a minute, you know, make sure that you’re cleaning up around the house. If you’re having a barbecue that weekend make sure you’re not leaving it out, over especially this time of year because they are itching to get into inside your home. So make sure that you’re kind of picking up around not leaving anything that’s going to be a good food source for them to get around that property. But again the – the droppings, you know, they – they poop a lot and it can be – it can be pretty nasty.Michael: Well the droppings themselves – uh, can have a parasite. Uh, if you look it up it’s, you know, raccoon roundworm. Uh, they – they have a parasite and, you know, if – if you were to inhale it – uh, the eggs or inhale the parasite you can get severe neurological damage. So – uh, if you’re going to have to deal with those droppings you might want to wear a respirator. Just my two cents.Travis: Look if you’re going into a – an enclosed area, crawl space, attic, – uh, an – an old barn, put a respirator on. I mean you only got one set of lungs and that’s what I tell everyone that starts at Pesky’s Pest Control, you got one set of lungs so let’s – let’s keep ’em the way that they’re supposed to be.Michael: Well and you know, one last thing about raccoons, I mean, you know, they’re – like you said they’re nasty. They do damage property but think about the other damage that they’re doing in your attic despite their – their waste.Travis: I mean there is – there is certainly risk of chewing electrical wiring, – uh, you know doing that sort of thing, damaging your HVAC ductwork, – uh, messing up your insulation. Uh, I mean there’s just there’s a whole plethora of – of problems they can cause up there.Michael: Yeah. Hey actually really cool while we’re doing this podcast, I am actually just got a text, we’re heading to a customer’s house to set a raccoon trap to catch a raccoon getting in someone’s chimney.Travis: Very good. Well – uh, we’ll – we’ll take it – uh, we’ll take it from there and – uh, we hope you catch him.Michael: Oh we will catch him. The post Attic Invaders: How Raccoons Exploit Your Home appeared first on Peskies Pest Control.

In this episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast, Travis McGowin and Michael Wienecke dive deep into the world of carpenter ants, the “other” wood-destroying insect that can cause significant, often undetected damage to a home. The team discusses how these pests differ from termites, highlighting their tendency to gnaw on wood for nesting rather than food. Through engaging stories—including a “detective” case in Prattville involving sawdust in a bathroom and a cautionary tale about a tree collapsing due to structural compromise—they explain the signs of an infestation and the importance of home maintenance. You'll also learn about the fascinating, “mutualistic” relationship between ants and aphids, and why Michael insists that the textbooks might be wrong about when these insects are most active.

Podcast Transcript:Introduction and Initial ReactionsTravis McGowin: How would you feel if you discovered that there was an insect essentially chewing on your house, other than termites?Michael Wienecke: I would be devastated and upset.Travis McGowin: Devastated and upset, those are your big emotions.Michael Wienecke: Distraught.Travis McGowin: Oh, distraught. Is there a difference between being distraught and devastated and upset?Michael Wienecke: Unnerved.Travis McGowin: We're just going to pull out every descriptive word we can think of now.Michael Wienecke: No, but seriously, I mean, one of the biggest investments that I have, yes, I would be very upset and I would call Pesky’s Pest Control and be like, “Hey, get rid of this problem for me, whatever it is, whatever's munching on my home.”Travis McGowin: You're not biased at all to the company, are you?Michael Wienecke: No, not at all. Just saying, call a reputable company and let them come and evaluate.Identifying Carpenter AntsTravis McGowin: Well, so what I'm getting at here is a very specific insect, and the one I am currently referring to is the carpenter ant.Michael Wienecke: Yes, we have been seeing a ton of carpenter ants. I have a lot in my driveway right now, just crawling all around.Travis McGowin: You know, the interesting thing is that carpenter ants can go unnoticed for so long due to a couple of reasons. Obviously, they are gnawing on wood, and most of the time wood is going to be in a not-so-visible place inside your house—inside the walls, inside the attic, the framing, the studs, that sort of thing. So, they can go undetected for so long until the damage is so significant and the population is so large. But what are some signs that you might actually be dealing with carpenter ants?Signs of InfestationMichael Wienecke: Well, I was going to say, unless it's a brick home, but you kept going, so…Travis McGowin: I stole your thunder, I'm sorry.Michael Wienecke: You stole my thunder. What are some signs? Well, the first sign would be carpenter ants, that would be the first sign. The second sign would be things getting kicked out of the baseboards or even little holes, sawdust, dead little insects, decapitated bodies, legs, antennae.Travis McGowin: Sounds like very violent little creatures.Michael Wienecke: Hey, they are clean little creatures, I will say that. They keep it smooth and they don't want anything messing up their home.Travis McGowin: You know, the very interesting thing too, and I'm going to touch on what you said a second ago about obviously seeing carpenter ants, however, there's one little fact that a lot of people don't know or don't realize as to why they might actually not physically see the carpenter ant itself. Can you guess why?Michael Wienecke: Is it because they are nocturnal?Travis McGowin: Absolutely.Michael Wienecke: Well, excuse me, hold on, they're not nocturnal, that's not the right thing to say. They feed in the nighttime, which is at night.Travis McGowin: Nocturnal is a very good…Michael Wienecke: Well, that's not fair because I've got them in the daytime… I don't know what's the word.Travis McGowin: I mean, yeah, you'll see an occasional carpenter ant out foraging around and doing things in the daytime, but the vast majority of them are going to be running around at night. That's where a lot of times if you have looked and you've got some sort of damage obviously from an insect that destroys wood and you feel like it's not a termite, then the time to really go out and scout is actually after dark.Michael Wienecke: I disagree with you 100% and I disagree with the book 100%. I think the best time to go out is early morning and late afternoon. I don't think you need to go out that late. I'm just saying, that's the one thing where I'm like, “The book’s got it wrong.”Travis McGowin: Questioning everything, Travis.Case Study: Prattville HomeTravis McGowin: Well, I will say that I have seen it both ways, actually. So, I had a customer over in the Prattville area that was obviously having some sort of carpenter ant issue they knew about, in between their first and second floor behind the sheetrock. It was kind of interesting, the bulk of the area where the issue was was tied to the ceiling above the master bathroom that was located on the first floor. And so, they actually would have bits of sawdust and, like you said, the insect parts, dead insect parts, fall from the vent fan that was located above the toilet and land on the toilet seat. So, they would like clean their toilet and then a little while later there would be like sawdust and everything else falling from the ceiling and getting on the toilet seat.Michael Wienecke: So, how, just curious, did they clean up all that after…? Did you do a treatment? How did that go?Travis McGowin: Yeah, absolutely. So, I inspected the house first and foremost to ensure that it was in fact carpenter ants that we were dealing with. And I did find a select few very large black ants that were scattered throughout little areas of the house on the first and second floor, kind of localized to that corner of the house where that bathroom was. So, I did, of course, believe we were dealing with carpenter ants.Travis McGowin: And then it became detective work. So, a lot of times you can have a carpenter ant nest inside of a house—it's not out of the realm of possibility—but I wasn't finding that type or amount of activity that led me to believe that they were taking up residence in a wall or in the ceiling or something like that. So, I started looking around the outside of the house, got to that outside brick veneer area that was kind of adjacent to that master bathroom, and started kind of stopping and looking around on the ground during the daytime. So, this proves a little bit of your theory that the books are wrong.Michael Wienecke: I'm telling you, it's only one thing.Travis McGowin: I'm ignoring you. Anyway, so I did find one or two carpenter ants running around on the ground, and then at that point, I started investigating the trees that were immediately to that side of the house. And I actually took a really cool video of it, but I found a tree that towards the bottom of the trunk of the tree had a giant hole in it. And I believe I just kind of like messed with the tree, kind of like kicked at it a little bit, caused some vibration, that sort of thing. And out of nowhere comes just this massive amount of carpenter ants coming out of this hole and I was like, “Oh, well, looks like I found the nest.” So, of course, obviously treated the nest, treated the house, customer has had zero problems with carpenter ants since that day.Nesting Habits and MoistureMichael Wienecke: Well, that is great because that's what we want to do, right? We want 100% satisfaction. So, let's talk about—I love how you said the nest and luckily it wasn't in their house, but they can also do satellite nests. So, you can have a nest in your house and then a nest outside in the tree. So, in large infestations, which typically take what, three to five years to get fully invested… Another thing too is they don't just nest in trees, they'll nest in the ground. In that particular home, was there any—why were they going to the bathroom? Was there any moisture issues there, any rot?Travis McGowin: Not that I saw. So, let me rephrase a little bit about the structure or the design of the house. So, the house actually did have a basement area underneath it. I did not personally see any moisture issues going on. Doesn't mean that they weren't there, just during my inspection I didn't see any obvious signs of, like you said, rotted or damaged wood, any idea that there could be a leak in the roof or something like that. I mean, they again, could have been there, but I didn't see any obvious signs or anything like that during the inspection.Risks and DamageMichael Wienecke: Gotcha. Well, let's talk about them other than, you know, a pest that destroys your home. You know, other than that, they really don't… They have the ability to bite, but they don't—they're typically not very aggressive in all the ants that we deal with. But they do have the ability to bite. So, biggest thing is just, I wouldn't get into a nest. I wouldn't mess with like a bunch of them at one time, you might have a problem, but one or two is completely fine.Travis McGowin: I think more so than the potential threat, like you said, of them retaliating against you, I really think that the frustration from these ants certainly comes more from their economic impact from just structural damage or physical damage of a house or of a property. You know, I would even think that in like, for example, in the case of that house that we were just discussing, if you had carpenter ants that were say, nesting in a tree, destroying a tree, well, I mean over time, you know, I would think that there's the potential that that tree could be structurally compromised if it's close to your structure, a storm comes through, is it going to weaken the trunk of that tree, is it more susceptible to fall on your house? I mean, I think that there's some more ongoing, extensive issues with them other than just them damaging your house directly.Michael Wienecke: 100%. Well, I mean, it goes into kind of what we talked about too, just the house maintenance. I feel like we talk about that with every issue. It's like just, you know, clean your house up, you know, fix your house, just, you know, get all the rotten wood, which I've got some that I gotta take care of this year too. So…Termites vs. Carpenter AntsTravis McGowin: Well, wood-destroying insects can—speaking of damaging trees—we had some termites eating in the roots of a tree in my front yard at one point. Got rid of the termites, obviously the tree was still dead. We left the house one morning, left the house, came back that evening, and there was a tree, that specific tree was laying in my front yard. It fell over. There was no storm, there was no rough winds or anything like that. The tree was just like, “I'm done,” and it just fell over in the front yard. Thankfully missing our house and obviously just leaving a mess in the front yard that we had to saw up and get rid of. But yeah, that structural damage for whatever length of time from the termites obviously weakened that tree and, you know, that could have been very serious, happening in the middle of the night and landed on our house or something like that from a life-safety standpoint, but it also could have been serious structural damage for our home.Michael Wienecke: Or your car, or you, or you know, something like that. So they definitely can cause damage. I think the biggest thing, though, is don't be alarmed when you see them in your house. How many major infestations have you seen from carpenter ants?Travis McGowin: Not many. You know, obviously not near as much carpenter ant activity in a house as say, an Argentine ant or something like that. I've definitely not seen where carpenter ants have been quite as big of an issue as some other breeds that we deal with.Michael Wienecke: Well, they don't want your home. I mean, they want something that's just nasty, rotten, something that they can really, you know, thrive off of.Foraging and AphidsTravis McGowin: Well, and they also, you know, from a food standpoint, they most of the time will actually eat honeydew, which is produced by an insect called an aphid. And a lot of times it's kind of like this mutual relationship between the carpenter ants and the aphids, where the carpenter ants will cause the aphids to, you know, excrete honeydew, which is like a sugary liquid that they'll feed the colony with. And the ants recognize the aphids as a food source, so they'll actually kind of protect the aphids from predators or whatever other predators prey on aphids. And then they'll even carry, you know, some food items that the aphids like to them to ensure that the aphids still, you know, stay alive and are able to produce honeydew. So it's kind of interesting how they'll have this mutual relationship to survive and thrive. And typically, you're not going to have an aphid infestation in your home; it's going to be up in a tree or wherever they're residing. So, yeah, the infestations in a home are a lot less, from what I've seen, not quite as common.Michael Wienecke: More aphid, more problem.Travis McGowin: Is that the saying?Michael Wienecke: I mean, typically with ants, yes. The more aphids you have, the more problems you will have. The post Identifying and Managing Carpenter Ant Infestations appeared first on Peskies Pest Control.

Why is it that the last 10–15 pounds are ALWAYS the hardest to lose? In this episode, we break down one of the most frustrating parts of fat loss: hitting a plateau when you're doing everything "right." We explain: • What a metabolic wall actually is • Why eating less and doing more eventually stops working • How your body adapts to calorie deficits • Why you may be losing muscle instead of fat • The power of reverse dieting and building your metabolism Most people try to cut their way out of a plateau… But the real solution?

Ever catch yourself jumping straight to the worst-case scenario when it comes to your kids? What if they stop breathing in the middle of the night? Will starting daycare too early ruin them for life? What if that little cough is actually… the bubonic plague?If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. There's actually a name for this mental spiral: catastrophizing.In this episode of Bottle Service, Sarah breaks down this common “thought trap” that so many parents (especially postpartum moms) all into. She talks about why our brains are wired to jump to worst-case scenarios, how catastrophizing can show up during postpartum AND throughout parenting, and when those thoughts may cross the line into postpartum anxiety.Most importantly, Sarah shares ways to interrupt the spiral so you can breathe a little easier and get back to enjoying your kids instead of worrying about every possible disaster.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 91-83 win over Northeastern.   Free Throws Mattered! SU was 34-of-48 from the charity stripe and anytime SU shoots 70% from the free throw line, you'll take it.  With the Yin comes the Yang and SU's defense was lacking against 4-6 Northeastern, allowing 52 points in the second half and getting outscored in the paint by the Huskies.  Brent Axe discusses why the Orange are lagging in these buy games and what the return of Donnie Freeman will do to fix that (if it does).  The conversation on Syracuse Sports and our live Syracuse football and basketball postgame shows is always shaped by terrific insight from Syracuse Sports Insiders.  Become a Syracuse Sports Insider today!  Sign up at joinsubtext.com/syracusesports to get your voice heard on the SU football postgame show and have direct text message access to Brent Axe anytime.
