Active Season
April – September, with peaks in June, July and August
Wasps are aggressive landlords – unlike bees, who mind their own business, wasps will launch unprovoked attacks on anyone who dares walk near their territory, turning your garden into a no-fly zone.
These stinging speedsters can call in reinforcements faster than you can run. When one wasp stings you, it releases a chemical alarm that summons the entire colony to join the attack.
A single wasp nest can house up to 15,000 angry residents by late summer, transforming from a golf ball-sized problem in spring to a football-sized nightmare by September.
Wasps can be a significant nuisance. Finding a wasp nest near your property requires immediate attention.
Seeing a large number of wasps entering or leaving a specific point on your property, such as under eaves or in a shed, often indicates a nest. Finding the insects themselves is a sign.
Distinguishing between wasps and bees can be important, as bees are beneficial pollinators. Identifying the specific type of insect and locating the nest can be difficult by phone or email, requiring an inspection. Nest inspection services are offered. Our technicians can identify the pest during a survey.
Wasps and bees can sting, which is painful and can be dangerous, especially for individuals with allergies. An active wasp nest can pose an immediate threat. While generally less aggressive than wasps, bees can also sting if provoked. Uncontrolled insects can damage property and pose significant risks.
DIY pest control methods exist for ‘things that go buzz’. However, attempting DIY methods, especially for wasp nests, can be extremely dangerous and may only aggravate the insects, increasing the risk of stings. You may not be aware of the full extent of the problem or may snot get to the root cause. Without expert knowledge, experience, and professional-grade equipment, DIY attempts will likely be unsuccessful. This can place you in danger and potentially make the problem worse.
Our professional technicians are fully trained and qualified to safely carry out wasp nest treatments. We understand the urgency of an active wasp nest, which is why we can often respond to urgent requests on the same day, sometimes within 60 minutes. Our treatment is highly effective. We target the inside of the nest directly, treating the wasps present at the time. This contaminates the nest, and you’ll typically see no further wasp activity within four hours. The likely outcome of our professional treatment for wasps is the safe and complete removal of the nest, ensuring your property is sting-free. The cost of treatment varies based on factors such as the location and accessibility of the nest on your property. We offer free estimates, so you’ll know the cost upfront.
