There is no Scottsbluff-specific wasp infestation rate published by any agency, and this page does not invent one; what exists for Scottsbluff readers is national and regional survey data plus published pricing benchmarks, summarized below with their limits stated plainly. Sixty-nine percent of U.S. homeowners ages 25–75 in HomeTeam Pest Defense's March 2022 online survey said finding wasps at home would concern them, a self-reported attitude from a survey sponsored by a pest-control company with an undisclosed sample size. Nineteen percent of respondents to the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's 2025 wasp survey named time or a shortage of people as a barrier to wasp control, a self-reported attitude from an opt-in New Zealand sample rather than a measure of infested homes. The national picture, which Scottsbluff has no reason to escape: Eighteen percent of the 1,055 individual respondents in the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's 2025 wasp survey rated their own wasp knowledge as high, a self-assessment from an opt-in New Zealand sample rather than a tested score or an infestation rate. For Scottsbluff, Nebraska the relevant figure is this: the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's June to August 2025 survey of 1,055 individuals and 100 restoration groups found just 2% naming ethical objections, compared with 26% citing lack of knowledge; the unweighted results are from New Zealand. Scottsbluff is not an outlier on this point: in ConsumerAffairs' February 2024 survey of 2,000 U.S. respondents about home infestations, which mixed pest and mold questions and relied on self-reports, 17% said they had done nothing about their pest problems, a general consumer figure and not a per-pest statistic.
