The figures in this section were compiled for Grants Pass, Oregon readers from named public sources, each keeping its date and population, and they describe patterns across many households rather than measuring any one Grants Pass property. Sixteen percent of respondents to the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's 2025 wasp survey named safety as a barrier to wasp control, a self-reported concern from an opt-in New Zealand sample rather than a measure of stings or infested homes. In the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's mid-2025 survey of 1,055 individuals and 100 restoration groups, knowledge was the top barrier to wasp control at 26%, ahead of time, cost and safety; the unweighted responses are from New Zealand. Another data point for Grants Pass readers: Seventy-eight percent of the 100 restoration groups in the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's 2025 wasp survey reported taking part in wasp control, a higher share than individual respondents and a New Zealand conservation figure rather than a homeowner statistic. Grants Pass households fit the wider pattern here: Sixty-nine percent of individual respondents to the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's 2025 wasp survey said they take part in wasp control, a self-reported figure from an opt-in New Zealand sample rather than a measure of U.S. behavior. What the research adds for Grants Pass: before spending a weekend with store-bought sprays, consider that 64% of DIY users in HomeTeam Pest Defense's 2022 online survey of U.S. homeowners said their problem was not fully solved, a self-reported figure from a provider-sponsored survey, not a success-rate study. If one number should shape your next step in Grants Pass, it is how often do-it-yourself attempts fall short, which is not an argument against trying but a reason for Grants Pass homeowners to set a deadline and call a professional if the problem persists past it.
You have already been stung once. That is reason enough. Repeat stings from the same Grants Pass colony are common, and each one raises the chance of a stronger reaction, so a Grants Pass homeowner who has been stung should stop and call. Ground nests are usually treated by dusting the entrance, then covering it lightly after the colony dies.
