WHY CONTROL WASPS?

Wasps might seem like common backyard insects, but their presence can lead to serious issues. Though paper wasps help control other insects, their nests become hazardous if they feel threatened.

As temperatures rise, wasps create nests near doorways, decks, or sheds. Professional Wasp Pest Control is crucial to keep your outdoor spaces safe.

1. Reclaim Your Outdoor Spaces

Don’t let wasps make your yard off-limits. With expert wasp pest control, you can enjoy your outdoor areas without fear of stings.

2. Minimize Health Risks

Wasps, especially female paper wasps, can deliver painful stings. For those with allergies, even one sting can be dangerous. Controlling wasp populations reduces these health risks.

3. Prevent Nest Expansion

Wasps build nests quickly, and a single colony can become a persistent problem. Early professional removal stops nest growth before it leads to bigger issues.

Tips for Wasp Prevention:

After treatment, there are several effective steps you can take to reduce the chances of wasps returning:

  • 1

    Seal Entry Points: Inspect your property for any openings or crevices that wasps could use to enter. Sealing these entry points up is a crucial step to stop wasps from nesting indoors.

  • 2

    Remove Food Sources: Wasps are attracted to exposed food, especially sugary items. Ensure outdoor areas are clean and keep food and drinks covered, particularly during gatherings.

  • 3

    Regularly Check for Early Nests: Monitor high-risk areas such as roof eaves, attics, or sheds for early signs of nests. Removing small nests early is far easier and safer than dealing with larger infestations.

  • 4

    Maintain Your Yard: Trim back overgrown shrubs and trees, and clear debris. Keeping your yard tidy helps reduce potential nesting spots and makes your property less appealing to wasps.

HOW TO SPOT WASP ACTIVITY

Bats nesting in attic space

Wasps can be subtle, which makes early identification key to preventing them from becoming a serious issue. Stay vigilant by watching for these common signs of wasp activity:

1. Unusual Buzzing Sounds

Consistent buzzing near windows, walls, or attics may indicate wasps nesting in hidden spaces like wall cavities or roof voids.

2. Small, Paper-Like Nests

Wasp nests start small and paper-like. Look for these structures under eaves, in shed corners, or beneath outdoor furniture to catch them early.

3. Wasps Around Food or Trash

An increased number of wasps near food, trash cans, or compost bins can signal a nearby nest. Wasps are often drawn to sweet foods and proteins.

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
