Wasps Identification

Wasps have slender bodies with a narrow waist, distinguishing them from bees. They come in various colors, including black, yellow, and brown, often with striped patterns. Their smooth bodies lack the dense hair seen on bees. Wasps also have long legs and distinctive wings that fold along their backs when at rest. Their nests vary by species, ranging from paper-like structures in trees or underground burrows. If disturbed, wasps can be aggressive, so identifying them early helps in proper management.

What Are the Signs of a Wasp Infestation?

Facing a wasp infestation can be a serious threat to you, your family, your employees, and your property. Wasps are notoriously aggressive, and their stings can be quite painful. It is crucial to identify the signs of a wasp infestation as early as possible.

Visible Nests: One of the most obvious signs of a wasp infestation is the presence of wasp nests in and around your home. These nests can be located in attics, sheds, bushes, and other areas where wasps can find shelter.
Increased Wasps: If you’re noticing an increase in the number of wasps around your home, it could be a sign that there’s a wasp infestation.
Stinging Incidents: If you or a family member have been stung by a wasp, it could be a sign that there’s a nest nearby.
Wasps Near Entrances: If you’re noticing wasps near the entrance to your home or other buildings on your property, it could be a sign of a wasp infestation.

Wasps are drawn to sweet foods, sugary drinks, and protein sources. They also seek sheltered spaces like eaves, attics, and outdoor sheds.

Most wasp colonies die off in the fall, except for the queen, who hibernates and starts a new colony in the spring.

Unlike bees, wasps do not die after stinging. They can sting multiple times, which is why they can be more aggressive when threatened.

While wasp stings can be painful, they are generally not dangerous unless you are allergic. In case of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

DIY solutions NOT recommended. Any DIY attempt that may disturb the nest puts you at risk of receiving painful stings. EM Pest Control technicians are trained to safely remove the nest from your property.

If you see a wasp nest, contact a licensed pest control professional with experience in wasp control. Removing a nest yourself is NOT recommended. Professionals have the expertise, protective gear, and safe removal techniques. Moreover, pest control experts are knowledgeable about local laws concerning the removal of wasps and other stinging insects, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards.

To prevent wasps, keep food and drinks covered outdoors, seal garbage bins tightly, and regularly inspect your property for early signs of nest building.

The cost of wasp removal varies based on the type of wasp, location, and extent of the infestation. Your local exterminators at EM Pest Control will thoroughly inspect your property and suggest a treatment plan.
