Experienced Wasp Exterminators

Wasps pose a threat to any home and business owners as they can become dangerous if they feel as if the nest is under attack. Unlike honeybees, many species of wasps are capable of stinging multiple times since they do not lose their stinger and they will swarm threats aggressively. At EcoGuard Pest Management we are experienced and knowledgeable in all forms of wasp treatment methods from exclusion methods to chemical pesticide applications. We have been providing wasp control services since 2008 and we understand how dangerous these pests are which make them difficult to get under control. They can generally be found nesting on the exterior walls of your home, under eaves, and even in the ground but have also been found in wall cavities and attics. No matter where the nest is, EcoGuard technicians will remove them to protect your home or business. We will also treat any problematic areas to ensure that the wasps are totally eradicated and help with exclusion to minimize the chances that the wasps can come back to create another nest. Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind with regular on-going services so our technicians can identify signs of wasps and eliminate them as soon as they start to appear.


EcoGuard also offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our customers and we stand by our promise to eradicate your problem until the very last wasp is gone. That wasp control guarantee comes with every service and if they come back, then so do we, at no additional cost. We are standing by to give you a free estimate and to help you set your first wasp pest control service appointment. Give us a call today!

Wasp Information

Identifying wasps can be difficult as they vary widely depending on the species. They generally have just 2 sets of wings and a pinched body and they can range in variety of colors. One of the most common species being the paper wasp comes in yellow and black but other species also come in black, red, and green. There are many species that are solitary, but several are also known to be social insects that live in colonies. These colonies can grow into hundreds or thousands if not controlled. One of the more prevalent species, the paper wasp, can be identified by the shape of their nest. It is usually a round paper comb structure made from collected wood fibers that is attached upside down by a single strand in an exterior area that is generally protected from disturbance. These nests will start when a queen identifies a location in springtime under eaves, decks, or awnings. The queen starts construction and then raises her brood which mature into the first round of workers which will continue to help grow the nest through summer if the right conditions exist.


Many wasps will only become hostile when the colony is disturbed. That said, they are capable of releasing toxins when stinging as well as pheromones that will draw others from the colony to swarm and attack a threat. This is why it is important that nests are treated by a qualified licensed technician. While they do pose a threat, wasps also play a critical role as pollinators that will help ecosystems while they forage for food. Some wasps are more like bees in search of a sweet meal and will often target trash in search of sugary drinks or fruits. Others tend to eat smaller insects and are sometimes used to protect crop harvests by keeping insect populations under control.

Inspection
A licensed wasp extermination technician will search a property for areas where wasps are most likely to build nests. When a nest is identified, the technician will create a customized strategy best suited to remove the nest carefully to minimize any potential for wasps to swarm and cause bodily injury. 

Wasp Traps
Wasps are known to travel long distances for food so sometimes nests are not close by. If that is the case, traps can be left out to attract wasps to ensure they are captured and no longer present any danger.

Wasp Treatment
If a nest is located, it can be treated with a chemical, fog, or dust insecticide application. The insecticides applied to the nest are designed to infect the wasps causing their death after they return from foraging for food. It is important to leave the nest in case not all wasps from the colony are present so any remaining wasps that return get infected. Otherwise, the remaining wasps will rebuild their nest after its removal. 

Nest Removal
Once a colony has been treated and appears to have experienced a full colony collapse, the nest can be removed. It is important that this is still executed by a trained professional in the event that not all the wasps are dead as they will get hostile when the colony is disturbed. 

Exclusion
Once a wasp nest is removed, it is critical that steps are taken to ensure that the wasps are not provided with resources that will encourage them to return. EcoGuard’s technicians will help seal any openings that may look appealing as well as educate the homeowner on how to minimize the potential of another wasp colony making a nest close by.

Wasp FAQs

  • How does pest control get rid of wasps?

    To treat wasps’ nests, a licensed EcoGuard technician will have access to either a chemical sprayer or fogger to use to ensure areas of wasp activity are saturated in insecticides. This insecticide will kill wasps once they come in contact so they no longer present a threat to your home or business.

  • How much does it cost for pest control to get rid of wasps?

    Wasp treatment and nest removal can cost on average from $100 to $1300 depending on variables like size and location of nest with the national average being right around $375. That said, EcoGuard prices competitively and offers a guarantee with our services.

  • What can I do to get rid of wasps?

    Keeping areas free of trash and removing wasp attractants will prevent wasps from taking hold. Once a nest has been started, professional help is recommended to prevent the possibility of a wasp swarm defending its nest.

  • Does killing a wasp attract more?

    Wasps excrete pheromones signaling danger once they detect a threat which attracts others to investigate. Killing a wasp or wasps will generally attract more and could potentially lead to a swarm attack.
