Wasps
Wasps don’t usually cause damage to homes during their summer nest building however, they are disliked immensely due to their painful sting. They can access your home through a pre-existing hole, so although nests don’t often cause property damage, they may be a sign of broken roof shingles or damaged garden shed panels. If wasp nests are left for a long time, you may notice the signs of wood damage nearby. While it’s possible to get rid of wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets on your own, remember that they can be dangerous, especially in large numbers, so if you’re in doubt, it’s best to call a pest control specialist.
Of course, if you are allergic to these stings, you need to take precautions and seek outside help. Blocking a nest is one of the worst ways to deal with this problem as when confined in a tight space they will quickly become agitated. If blocked in, these insects can chew through plasterboard, wood, and various other materials to find a way out. You can try mixing a tablespoon of peppermint oil with 4 cups of water and spraying it as a repellent if you’re looking for a natural DIY solution. Our licenced pesticide technicians and exterminator are ready with all the skills and products to destroy that wasp nest once and for all! We respond quickly and are ready to relieve you of this pesky problem.

What You Need to Know About Wasps
-
What is living under my shed?Look for signs of digging around the bottom of your shed (or gazebo, deck, sunroom, garage) and listen for sounds. Raccoons often make a den to have their babies under structures like this. Baby raccoons make chirping sounds. Notice any scents? It could also be a skunk or family of skunks as this is also very common in the Springtime.
-
Can I live trap?We do not live trap during baby season as removing the mother animal means the babies will not survive without her. It is not advisable or legal for you to live trap and move an animal.
-
Should I block the entry point?If you block an entry point and the animal has babies inside she will cause more damage making more entry points to get to her litter. Calling a wildlife removal specialist who can inspect and properly treat the issue is advisable.
-
What are these holes in my garden?Finding holes, tunnels and paths in your yard and garden likely means you have mice, rats or other rodents living there.
-
What’s that noise in my bathroom vent?If you’re hearing noises or smelling something foul from your vent birds have likely gotten in and made a nest. A wildlife professional can remove this and install a new animal proof vent.
-
Why do I see wasps but no nest?Wasps or hornets can make their nest inside your roof where you can’t see it – but you are seeing lots of wasps buzzing around! Having the nest sprayed will take care of it for you.
-
What’s that scratching sound?Where are you hearing it? In your ceiling/attic? It could be squirrels, raccoons, mice or rats.
-
Should I cut down my tree to stop animals from getting on my roof?A lot of people do this but raccoons and squirrels can climb right up the side of your house so cutting down your nice tree will not solve the problem.
-
How can we keep rodents out of our yard?Remove all food sources such as pet food, bird seed and composters. You can also purchase scented deterrents and noisemakers at most hardware stores.
-
Who do I call for a stray domestic animal?You would call your local kennel, animal rescue or city hall for advice.
-
Should I call 911 for raccoon sightings?You should never call 911 unless it is an emergency.
