hornet & Wasp Treatment

Hornets, paper wasps, and yellow jackets are all examples of stinging insects living throughout our area of Massachusetts. Stinging insects all have stingers they use to paralyze their prey and defend themselves. Stinging insects living outside away from people are environmentally beneficial because some pollinate crops and plants, and others feed on and control populations of nuisance insects. Stinging insects become unwanted when they nest near homes because of the dangers they pose to people.

Stinging insects are outdoor pests but sometimes find their way into our homes to create nests. Different species of stinging insects have different nesting preferences. Wasps hang their nests underneath porch ceilings, deck railings, roof eaves, and in the corner of doorways. Hornets choose to nest in hollow trees, barns, attics, and behind wall voids. Ground-nesting species such as yellow jackets place their nests in the ground, in between rocks crevices, or under woodpiles. They also build their nests inside attics and wall voids.

If you find a nest on your property, removing it safely and completely can be difficult. It is important to contact an experienced professional to identify, treat and handle the situation safely. Give us a call today to eliminate your stinging pest problem right away!
