Wasp control and exterminator services

Wasps often build their nests in areas where people gather, like patios, entryways, or loading docks. Because they fiercely protect their nests and can sting multiple times, they can be dangerous, especially to those with allergies. Find out how Western Exterminator’s wasp pest control can help identify, treat, and prevent wasp issues.

Signs you need professional wasp pest control

There are a few key signs that it’s time to call in a wasp exterminator. Seeing a high number of wasps flying near your home or business, especially around rooflines, vents, or outdoor trash areas, often points to a nearby nest. You might also hear a faint buzzing from inside walls or see wasps entering and exiting small gaps in siding or eaves.

Large or active nests, especially those built in hard-to-reach or high-traffic areas, also signal the need for professional wasp pest control. Don’t wait for a sting or an allergic reaction; our team is ready to assess your property and help with wasp removal and prevention.

Wasps: the complete guide

Our wasp removal process: the Western way

We understand that wasps can be a nuisance to anyone: residents, staff, or customers. That’s why our comprehensive wasp control services don’t just focus on wasp removal, we also help you limit the chances of wasps returning. Our wasp control services include:

  1. Identification of the wasp species.
  2. Treating the active wasp problem.
  3. Helping to prevent wasps from returning.

Whether it’s a one-time treatment or year-round stinging insect control solutions you need, Western is here to help. We are your local wasp control experts.

Proper identification is an important part of wasp control. Wasps can be mistaken for other types of stinging insects, such as bees. Our technicians can help determine which type of wasp you’re dealing with and the best course of action for the removal.

Treatment methods vary based on a number of factors. These include the type of wasps on your property, state and local regulations, infestation size, the severity of the infestation, and the location of the nest. Once the wasp has been properly identified, your technician will make the treatment recommendation.

Step 3: Prevention

Checking your home and yard for signs of wasps can help you identify a wasp infestation early. It’s likely to be easier for a pest control technician to deal with the issue if it’s caught early. Our annual pest control plan, PestFree365+, can help prevent issues like these year-round.1

How to prevent wasps from returning

You can also make your yard less attractive to wasps to deter them from building a nest there. Here are some tips to help prevent wasps on your property.

  • Check for nests: Check your home and garden in early spring for nests. Early on, the nests might be walnut or golf ball-sized. Early small nests have fewer wasps and are easier to treat. Look for nests in lofts, garages, sheds, cavity walls, or under eaves. Remember: if you spot a nest, leave wasp nest removal to a professional, as this can be dangerous.
  • Secure garbage: Ensure outside garbage cans have tightly fitting lids. Keep your garbage at a distance from doors and windows.
  • Install screens on windows and doors: This will help to prevent wasps from entering your home.

If you’re unable to carry out prevention and exclusion on your own or would just prefer the help of an expert, get in touch with Western Exterminator today.
