Do Not Disturb an Active Nest Without a Plan
Wasps and hornets can become aggressive when a nest is disturbed. What may look like a small nest from a distance may have more activity than expected, and nests located near entrances, porches, decks, play areas, rooflines, or commercial walkways can create a real safety concern.
Kammermann’s Pest Control provides treatment for wasp and hornet nest problems based on the location, activity level, and accessibility of the nest.
Common Nest Locations
Where Wasps and Hornets Build Nests
If you are seeing steady activity in and out of one area, there may be a nest nearby even if the nest itself is not easy to see.
Wasp and hornet nests may be found in areas such as:
- Porches
- Decks
- Rooflines
- Eaves and soffits
- Sheds and barns
- Trees and shrubs
- Playsets and outdoor structures
- Wall voids
- Garages
- Commercial entrances
- Outdoor seating areas
Treatment Expectations
Nest Treatment Depends on Location and Activity
The best approach depends on the type of stinging insect, where the nest is located, and whether the nest can be accessed safely. Some nests can be treated directly. Others may require a different approach because they are hidden, elevated, or located inside a void.
Kammermann’s Pest Control can help determine what treatment makes sense and explain what activity you may see after service.
