Wasps & Hornets

Say goodbye to buzzing nuisances with our expert wasp and hornet removal!

Wasps and hornets are more than just a nuisance – their stings can be painful and even life-threatening for those with allergies.

These insects are often mistaken for bees, but wasps are sleeker, less furry, and far more likely to sting if they feel threatened.

While most stings cause no lasting harm, the presence of a wasp nest near your home or business significantly increases the risk of unpleasant encounters. Pestinators can help you to remove their presence so you can enjoy your space without worry.

When you have a wasp nest

Amazing Architects

Wasps are quite the architects, building their nests in cozy outdoor spots like under eaves, or if they can sneak in, they might even set up shop inside your home in wall cavities, roof spaces, or attics.

Wasps typically choose sheltered spots with easy access to the outside for their nests. You might find them in wall cavities, roof spaces, under eaves, bird boxes, sheds, or garages. To track down a nest, simply observe the flight path of returning wasps.

Not your DIY project

If you stumble upon a nest, remember: it’s not a DIY project – leave it to the pros to avoid any, well, stinging consequences.

Treating the nest early is key to reducing the risk of painful stings and potential allergic reactions. And trust us, you don’t want to be dealing with thousands of angry wasps – a mature nest can host that many during the summer.

The Buzzing Basics: Bees, Wasps, and Hornets

Bees are like the laid-back cousins – they’re hairy, round, and pretty chill unless you mess with their hive. They collect pollen and nectar, and their stingers are barbed, which means they die after stinging once (talk about a one-and-done policy!).

Wasps, on the other hand, are the sleek and sassy types – hairless, slender, and a bit more feisty. They have a narrow waist and can sting repeatedly, so watch out!

And then there are hornets, the larger and more robust relatives of wasps. They’re often brown or reddish-brown with white or yellow markings, and while they’re generally less aggressive than wasps, their stings pack a bigger punch.

Nest Removal: We use specialized equipment to carefully remove the nest. This is usually done at night when the wasps are less active, reducing the risk of stings.
Treatment Options: Depending on the situation, we might use insecticides to treat the nest. We always choose methods that are safe for your family and pets.
Prevention Advice: After removing the nest, we provide tips on how to prevent future wasp infestations. This includes sealing entry points and removing food sources that might attract wasps and hornets.
