Identification of residential pests (bedbugs, termites, carpenter ants, rodents, etc.) are handled by the Pesticides section. Pesticide staff members will help identify the residential pest, and can also provide a list of companies and products registered in Delaware to treat these pests. The Forest Service staff can help diagnose tree health problems concerning your yard trees or woodlands. If you find a swarm of bees on your property that need removal, there are beekeepers in each county that can come and safely remove the swarm. https://agriculture.delaware.gov/pest-identification/
