Wasp, Hornet and Stinging Insects Control

Help Protect Your Home from Stinging Insects

Stinging insects such as wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, and certain bees often build nests close to homes, garages, decks, sheds, trees, shrubs, and other sheltered areas. When a nest forms near a doorway, walkway, patio, play area, or frequently used part of the yard, it can quickly become a concern for your family and visitors.

Activity usually increases during the warmer months as colonies grow and more insects begin traveling to and from the nest. What starts as a small amount of activity in spring can become much more noticeable later in the season.

Many stinging insects become defensive when their nest is disturbed. Attempting to spray, knock down, seal, or remove a nest without the right equipment can increase the risk of multiple stings and may cause insects to spread into nearby areas.

Bug Out looks for where the insects are nesting, how they are entering the structure, and how much activity is present. We use a targeted approach based on the type of insect, the location of the nest, and the conditions around your property.

After treatment, we can also point out areas that may encourage future nesting, including gaps around siding, damaged soffits, sheltered ledges, dense shrubs, and other protected spaces. If you are seeing repeated activity or suspect a hidden nest, Bug Out can help identify the problem and recommend the right next step.

Wasp and Hornet Nests Can Grow Quickly

Wasp and hornet colonies often start small in the spring, then expand rapidly through summer as more workers are produced. Nests may be hidden beneath eaves, inside wall voids, in shrubs, or underground, and disturbing them can trigger aggressive defensive behavior—especially later in the season when the colony is larger.
