Who This Is For
Anyone who has found a wasp nest near entryways, porches, or play areas. Homeowners wanting preventive treatment before nests appear.
The Problem
DIY wasp sprays require you to stand close to the nest — exactly where guard wasps are. They often kill only a few wasps before the colony attacks. Professional treatment uses protective equipment and commercial-grade products applied from a safe distance.
Warning Signs
- •Visible paper-like nests under eaves, in trees, or in wall voids
- •Increased wasp activity around a specific area
- •wasps entering and exiting a small hole in walls or ground
- •Chewing sounds inside walls (nest building)
Risks of Waiting
- ⚠Nest grows larger — a single nest can contain 15,000 wasps by late summer
- ⚠Increased aggression as colony defends larger nest
- ⚠Risk of stings to family members, especially children and pets
- ⚠Nests inside walls cause structural damage and attract other pests
