What Kind of Wasp Are You Dealing With?
Wasps are a common problem for homeowners in Bucks and Montgomery, PA, particularly during the warmer months. They can become dangerous when they build nests too close to homes. Wasps are known for their painful stings which can be particularly hazardous to those with allergies. Understanding the types of wasps that can infest your home and how pest control specialists can remove them is key to keeping your property safe.
Common Types of Wasps in Pennsylvania
- Yellowjackets: Yellowjackets are among the most aggressive wasps and are known for their bold, black-and-yellow stripes. They often build nests in the ground, inside walls, or in attics. Yellowjackets are highly territorial and will sting multiple times when provoked, making them especially dangerous around homes. Check out our yellowjackets page to learn more about them.
- Paper Wasps: Paper wasps are known for their long, slender bodies and reddish-brown or black color. They build open, umbrella-shaped nests made of paper-like material, often found under eaves, in door frames, or near windows. Though less aggressive than yellowjackets, paper wasps will sting if their nest is disturbed.
- Bald-Faced Hornets: These large, black-and-white wasps are actually a type of yellowjacket. Bald-faced hornets build large, enclosed nests typically found in trees or high up on buildings. They are highly defensive of their nests and will sting repeatedly if threatened.
How Pest Control Specialists Remove Wasps
- Inspection: Our pest control specialists will first inspect your property to identify the type of wasp and locate the nest. Understanding the species helps determine the best approach for removal. Some wasps require specific bait traps that will only work for them!
- Targeted Treatment: For aggressive species like yellowjackets or hornets, pest control experts use specialized insecticides designed to quickly neutralize wasps. These are often applied directly to the nest or in the areas where wasps are entering your home. For paper wasps, we may use dust treatments or sprays to eliminate the insects.
- Nest Removal: Once the wasps are neutralized, the specialist will safely remove the nest to prevent future infestations. In some cases, they may recommend sealing entry points or repairing areas where wasps are likely to return.
- Prevention: To prevent future wasp infestations, our pest control professionals may suggest trimming trees, reducing food sources, and sealing gaps around windows, doors, or siding where wasps might build nests.
By identifying the specific wasp species and applying effective treatments, we can safely remove these pests and protect your home from future problems. Schedule an appointment with our team today.
