PEST OF THE MONTH - Bed Bugs


Tiny blood-sucking bedbugs have become an epidemic in New York City. The little pests have invaded even the cleanest and most expensive apartments in neighborhoods around New York.

Bees

Carpenter Bees

  • 1/2 to 1 inch long
  • Looks similar to bumble bees but differ by having a bare, shiny black abdomen, where bumble bees have some yellow markings
  • Male carpenter bees can be identified by a bright yellow spot on the head
  • Males are aggressive but harmless and cannot sting
  • Females can sting if attacked

Habits

  • Carpenter bees bore holes into wood to create a tunnel where they can raise their young
  • They do not live in nests or colonies like yellow jackets and honey bees
  • Entry holes into the wood are usually located in the well-lit and sheltered areas, such as headers, roof eaves, porch ceilings, fascia boards, decks, doors, and window sills
  • Soft wood, such as California redwood, cedar, white pine, and poplar is preferred for nest building

Yellow Jackets

  • 3/8 to 5/8 inch long
  • Are wasps with a definite waist 
  • Marked with bright yellow and black patterns

Habits

  • Prey on a wide variety of insects and other arthropods
  • The workers survive on foods consumed by people, especially sweets and meat
  • Wasp colonies are at the largest size during the fall
  • If a colony is disturbed, worker yellow jackets will aggressively defend their colony by stinging
