Summer activities can be quickly ruined by uninvited, aggressive guests: wasps. Species like the bald-faced hornet, and cicada killer wasp are notorious for their disruptive presence at picnics and barbecues, as they are drawn to food and drinks. Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times, and their stings are not only painful but can cause severe allergic reactions, nausea, and in some cases, require emergency medical attention. If a nest is located near or inside your home, the risk of a sting increases dramatically, posing a serious threat to your family’s safety.
Wasps vary in appearance and behavior. Proper identification is crucial for effective treatment.
These social wasps build large, paper nests that can be up to two feet long. They have black bodies with distinctive white markings on the face.
These large, solitary wasps can grow up to 1.5 inches long. While generally non-aggressive, they burrow into the ground, causing extensive lawn damage.
Professional wasp control is the safest and most effective way to handle a wasp infestation. Attempting to remove a nest yourself can provoke the wasps and lead to multiple stings. At Newtown Termite & Pest Control, we use an integrated approach that combines detection, prevention, and advanced extermination techniques to keep your home or business wasp-free. Our process includes:
Wasps can be highly aggressive, and a nest near your home can be a serious threat. Here’s what you can look for to help confirm an infestation:
Look for paper nests or hives hanging from trees, eaves, or overhangs.
A high number of wasps flying around a specific area, especially near a visible nest or a potential entry point into your home, is a clear sign of an infestation.
A persistent buzzing or humming sound coming from inside your walls, attic, or other enclosed spaces can indicate a hidden wasp nest.
Carpenter wasps can chew through wooden structures to build their nests. You may notice small, round holes in your deck, porch, or siding.
Wasps are more than just a nuisance; their stings are painful and can be a serious health risk, especially for those with allergies. Attempting to remove a nest on your own can be extremely dangerous and lead to multiple stings.
