During the springtime, stinging insects like wasps and hornets will build nests on your deck or porch, on your eaves, and even inside your attic space. Wasps and hornets are known for delivering painful, powerful stings, more than once, whenever something gets too close to their nest. This can be a serious issue when they are nesting on your property, and attempting to remove their nests yourself can be dangerous, as wasps and hornets will often swarm, delivering dozens of stings. If you have stinging insects nesting on your property, contact the experts at Westchester Wildlife for professional wasp and hornet nest removal services today. Our team of technicians are armed with the proper tools and training to safely remove wasp and hornet nests without any stinging incidents.
Westchester County is home to several different types of stinging insects that can come into conflict with people, including:
If you want to keep wasp nests out of your attic space, the best thing to do is to have a licensed professional inspect your roof, soffit, fascia board and rake board for any potential gaps or cracks that could allow wasps in, and then sealing and fortifying these potential entry points. Keeping wasp nests off your porch, deck, or trees are a bit more difficult. Wasps are attracted to leftover garbage, food sources, and any water they can find, so sealing off your garbage cans, storing and disposing of food properly, and removing bird baths and other water sources can help make your yard less inviting to wasps and hornets.
The best way to keep wasps and hornets away from your yard is to have a regular pest control program done to deter stinging insects from building nests near your home.
When you spot a wasp or hornet nest on your property, it’s important not to disturb it. Wasps and hornets are both known for their aggression, and if you disturb their nests, they may swarm and sting you. DIY wasp removal can be very dangerous, and even life-threatening if you are allergic to wasp venom. Unfortunately, many DIY wasp control products are ineffective, or can be dangerous to the ecosystem if applied incorrectly.
The best thing to do when you find a wasp nest is to call a licensed wildlife removal company like Westchester Wildlife. Our team is highly trained, and has the tools and chemicals needed to safely remove wasp nests from your home without any stinging incidents. The best part is, most wasps and hornets can still sense a wasp nest used to be there, and will tend to avoid building a nest in the same location.
Wasps and hornets are a very common sight in Westchester County in the spring. As soon as the snow melts and the temperatures rise, stinging insects will be looking to build their nests on light fixtures, porches, decks, inside attics, and even underground.
DIY wasp and hornet nest removal is extremely dangerous, and never recommended. Wasps and hornets will often become aggressive when their nests are threatened and will swarm and sting you.
