Wasp Control
Throughout Ontario, Canada
and the United States wasps are seen in many
types and sizes. Typically however, those of
greatest concern are the yellowjackets and
hornets. This is due to their stinging
habits and ability to pose as a great
nuisance to home and business owners.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets are dangerous
when encountered around homes and buildings.
Nests are often located underground in an
old rodent burrow, beneath a landscape
timber, or in a rock wall or wall of a
building. If the nest can be located, it can
usually be eliminated by carefully applying
a wasp spray insecticide into the nest
opening.
All wasps will defend their nests, but the
Yellow Jackets and hornets are the most
aggressive. They can be distinguished from
bees by their thin "waists" (Bees are thick-waisted.)
They fold their wings lengthwise when at
rest. The yellow jacket colony will remain
active for only one summer, after which the
queens will fly away to start more colonies.
The remaining ones, die at the end of the
summer, the nest is not reused.
Paper Wasps or Umbrella
Wasp
Paper wasps, hornets and
yellowjackets construct nests of a
paper-like material which is a mixture of
finely chewed wood fragments and salivary
secretions of the wasps. Paper wasps
typically build their umbrella-shaped nests
under eaves and ledges.
Hornets
Bald Faced Hornets are far
more difficult and dangerous to control than
paper wasps. The nests resemble a large,
inverted tear-drop shaped ball which
typically is attached to a tree, bush or
side of a building. Bald Faced Hornet nests
may contain thousands of wasps (they are a
wasp) which are extremely aggressive when
disturbed. The nests are often located out
of reach and removal is best accomplished by
a professional pest control firm.
Control
Controlling wasp and hornet
populations can be both frustrating and
difficult. While over-the-counter
sprays may offer temporary relief complete
control is best left up to the professionals
at NIMBY Pest Management. We will
ensure that your home or business is free
from wasp and/or hornet problems.
