Whether under your deck or in the eves of your roof tiles, wasp nests tend to appear and stay all summer. Wasps can nest almost anywhere, and knocking them down can become painful and dangerous if done improperly. From the fence line to under your child’s play place, you never know where you might find a new nest during the summer months when the wasps tend to be the most active.
While there are a variety of wasps, they are most easily identified by their yellow color and bulbous rear ends. Most wasps we have locally are social wasps, who create nests together and will defend that nest. Eliminating a wasp nest can be difficult due to the pheromones left behind. You may have noticed that you knock down a nest in a corner in the early summer months, and by August you have another nest growing in the same spot. That’s why our technicians utilize a product that will block the pheromone and prevent wasps from returning all summer.
Wasps are different from bees in that they are not a pollenating bug and they do not die when they use their sting. Wasps are generally not aggressive when they are away from human activity, but can turn aggressive when defending their nests or themselves when they feel threatened. Wasp stings tend to cause inflammation and discomfort, but can lead to other complications if the person stung has an allergy to their venom.
