Wasps
Stinging things that rule your eaves
Wasp Pest Control
Wasps have a different dining preference than bees, as they don't go for pollen but rather opt for other insects, making them beneficial allies in gardens and homes across America. However, they often don't go solo, forming colonies that can quickly dominate an area. Despite their preference for high places like trees, they often opt for inconvenient spots, such as right outside our doors.
These gatherings of four, five, or more wasps construct paper nests on patio ceilings, deck railings, and other entryway adjacent spots. Due to their aggressive tendencies, it's best to steer clear of their nests to avoid the unpleasant sting they might deliver. Dealing with a wasp infestation warrants serious attention, potentially necessitating professional removal services based on the nest's size and the number of wasps present. It's essential to note that wasps typically don't seek out humans to sting and generally resort to defense when feeling threatened.
Tips for wasp removal
Simply using a broom handle to remove a wasp nest may seem like a quick fix, but it's not effective and can provoke the insects, leading to potential swarming and stings. Moreover, many chemical sprays contain harmful toxins that can harm beneficial insects nearby, making it unwise to resort to store-bought solutions. Hiring a professional pest control service is the safest bet, as they can inspect the nest and employ appropriate treatment methods.
If you're dealing with a wasp infestation and need prompt removal, reach out to our professionals to explore our treatment options. While paper wasps typically pose little threat to humans and pets, their stings can be painful and trigger severe reactions in sensitive individuals.
