Wasp and Hornet Nest Control

Nests along the Wasatch Front tend to show up in the same predictable spots — under eaves, inside sheds, behind shutters, in play structures and stacked firewood. Early in the season a nest can be small enough to miss entirely; by late summer the same colony is larger, more defensive, and considerably more dangerous to approach with a store-bought can and a ladder.

The risk is not just being stung once. An aggressive colony can produce multiple stings in a short span, which is a real concern for anyone with a known allergy, and a botched attempt at removal often provokes the colony rather than clearing it. A licensed applicator assesses the nest, the location and the time of year before deciding how to approach it, which is exactly the judgment call a homeowner standing under the eave is not well positioned to make.

What this usually involves

• Active nest removal around eaves, sheds and doorways
• Assessment before anyone gets close to it
• Handled by someone equipped for an established, aggressive colony
• Follow-up if a nest turns out more developed than it looked
