Wasp Pest Control and Exterminator
What is a wasp, and what does it look like?
Wasps, also known as paper wasps, get their name because their nests are made out of a paper-like material. They are brown with yellow and sometimes red markings.
What are the signs of a wasp infestation?
Signs of a wasp infestation often include:
Visible Nests: Wasps build paper-like nests in sheltered spots such as under eaves, in attics, within wall voids, or inside sheds. These nests often have a honeycombed interior structure and can grow larger as the colony expands.
Increased Wasp Activity: If you frequently see wasps flying around a particular area of your home or yard—especially entering and exiting small gaps—there’s likely a nest nearby.
Chewed Wood or Fibrous Material: Wasps create nests by chewing wood and plant fibers into a pulp. If you notice small areas of wood damage or a papery residue, it could be a sign of wasp nesting.
Aggressive Behavior: Wasps can become territorial as their nest grows. If you notice them acting defensively, stinging, or buzzing aggressively when you approach certain spots, that’s often a sign they’re protecting a nearby nest.
Are wasps dangerous? Do wasps sting?
Yes, wasps can be dangerous if they feel threatened. When defending their nest or if provoked, wasps are more likely to sting than bees, and unlike most bees, they can sting multiple times. For most people, a wasp sting is painful but not life-threatening. However, some individuals may experience severe allergic reactions that require immediate medical attention. It’s generally wise to exercise caution around wasps and seek out professional pest control if you suspect an active infestation near your home.
