Wasps — including yellow jackets, hornets, and paper wasps — deliver painful stings and can become aggressive near their nests. Some sting repeatedly and pose a serious risk to anyone who is allergic.
Slender, smooth bodies with a narrow waist. Nests may be papery (paper wasps), enclosed (hornets), or hidden underground or in walls (yellow jackets).
What attracts them: Sheltered nesting spots — eaves, attics, wall voids, ground burrows — plus sugary food and protein in late summer.
Always call for established or hidden nests — yellow jackets and hornets can swarm and sting repeatedly. We remove nests safely with the right protective gear.
