Paper Wasp Control

Paper wasp control, handled by professionals, is the only recommended way to get rid of paper wasps.

Like bees, paper wasps are beneficial to the environment as they help pollinate plants and feed on other insects – but that doesn’t mean they’re safe around people. Being stung by one of these wasps can be very painful, and the sting site can become infected easily, resulting in further medical problems. The danger increases exponentially if you are allergic to the sting. This is why many pest control experts place paper wasps among the list of North America’s Most Dangerous Pests.

However, the key thing to remember when considering paper wasp control is that these insects generally won’t bother you unless you bother them. Unfortunately, if they’ve built a nest around your home, then your presence alone could cause the wasps to aggressively defend the nest.

So, what can you do to remove these little buggers if they’re invading your life? Here are some quick dos and don’ts.

Dos & Don’ts For Paper Wasp Control

DO call a paper wasp control professional
Before you do something you’ll regret, contact the professionals. Pest control companies that specialize in the removal of paper wasps can quickly and effectively get rid of the wasps and the nests.

In many cases, the wasps can be removed without killing them, using special tools like bee boxes. But this isn’t a job for amateurs. Professional wasp control experts also wear special clothing that prevents them from being stung. That means they can get up-close and personal with the wasps to solve the problem and not risk anyone getting hurt.

DON’T get out the garden hose
The idea is simple in theory. You’re a homeowner whose patio has been overtaken by wasps. You know where the nest is. You have a garden hose. Why not spray it with gallons of water, thus destroying the nest and watering the wasps to death?

Unfortunately, the idea is an awful one. The water won’t necessarily destroy the nest, and even so, it certainly won’t kill all the wasps who are defending it. Moments after pulling the trigger, you’ll likely be stung multiple times, and you’ll be stuck with the same wasp problem.

DON’T throw objects at the nest
See the previous DON’T for reasons not to attempt this ill-intentioned idea. Rocks, sporting equipment, branches – it doesn’t matter what object you use, it will only cause a disaster.

DO stay away from the nest until professionals arrive
The single best thing you can do, after calling a wasp removal company, is to stay away from the nest and instruct others to do the same. If wasps are hovering around your patio or backyard, simply avoid that space until the professionals have removed them.
