We have gathered everything you need to know about our Wasp Control Service, pest facts, most frequently asked questions, and tips on how you can stop or prevent future wasp infestations from happening.

Wasps, close relatives to bees, are an insect family with tens of thousands of known species dotting the globe. They play an essential role in the ecosystem as predators, feasting on insects and other small animals. Wasps tend to find themselves in social colonies, creating nests in the ground as well as in trees or along walls and in the eaves.

Wasps tend to be brightly colored, which is nature’s way of saying “watch out, I’m a deadly lil thing.” And rightfully so, many species of wasps can pack an incredibly painful sting that will quickly ward off predators or you and I. 

While wasps are often seen as a nuisance due to their stinging habit, the threat they pose can range from discomforting to dangerous. Species like the Yellowjackets can become quite aggressive when threatened, resulting in multiple stings, which is particularly concerning for individuals with allergies. 

In fact, there are some wasps that will release a pheromone that encourage other wasps to sting a target. This can potentially be a very fatal outcome and is why we take the treatment of wasps very seriously.‍

While the sight of a wasp may trigger our fight or flight instinct, there are some steps we can take to handle the situation effectively:

  • Identify the Wasp: Identification is the first step towards effective wasp control. Different species require different removal strategies. Identification also helps you to know the level of aggression to expect when removing a nest.
  • Seal your Home: Wasps can gain access to your house through small crevices. It’s essential to seal these entry points with caulk or weatherstripping to prevent an infestation. Certain species of wasps will very quickly set up a nest in-between walls and baseboards as this is a perfect environment for them.
  • It’s not their BBQ: Removing potential food sources from your house is a sure way to make it less attractive to wasps. Ensure that pet food, crumbs, and trash are properly secured or disposed of. All it takes is one wasp to alert the colony that a food source has been located nearby and you could have a bunch more coming to check things out.
  • Trap Tactics: Deploying traps can be a useful method for catching wasps. Ensure you’re using the right traps for the specific type of wasp you’re dealing with.
  • Call in the Experts: If the wasp problem in your home feels like an uphill battle, don’t hesitate to call a professional exterminator. They have the tools and training to safely remove these pests. In all honesty, it’s much safer for you and your family to let us deal with the wasp infestation as things can become very unpredictable, very quickly when dealing with these insects.
