Getting a Wasp Nest Removed in Benson

A wasp, hornet or yellowjacket nest in Benson can look innocent until someone walks past it. Paper nests hang from rooflines, and yellowjacket nests are often tucked away in the ground or inside a wall. Ground nests are easy to miss until a mower disturbs them. The exterminator treats the nest after dark, when the colony is inside and calm, and works in protective gear. Do not douse it yourself, and do not block the opening, because angry wasps can find their way indoors. Old nests are not reused, but a new queen can start a fresh one in the same place next spring. Anyone with a sting allergy should stay well away until the nest is gone.

Before the Exterminator Arrives

  • Walk away calmly and keep others back. Do not swat at the wasps or throw anything at the nest. Bring children and pets indoors, and keep doors and windows near the nest closed.
  • Do not plug the nest opening. Blocking the entrance, or sealing a nest inside a wall, can push wasps toward light fixtures, vents and other gaps that lead into the house. Leave the opening clear for the technician.
  • Skip the DIY sprays, smoke and fire. Spraying in daylight often leaves the colony alert and stinging. Gasoline, fire and a garden hose are dangerous and rarely remove the nest.
  • Know the sting emergency signs. If anyone has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, dizziness or hives that spread after a sting, call 911. People with a known sting allergy should follow their doctor's plan.

Signs You Need a Wasp Exterminator

  • Wasps flying to and from one spot. A steady line of wasps going in and out of a hole in the ground, the eaves or a wall points to a nest, not random visitors.
  • A paper nest under eaves, decks or branches. Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped combs. Bald-faced hornets build large gray nests shaped like a football, hung in trees or on buildings.
  • A busy hole in the lawn. Yellowjackets often nest underground, in old rodent burrows or other holes. You may find the nest by walking or mowing close to it, which can set off the whole colony.
  • Buzzing inside a wall. A faint buzz or scratching in a wall, or wasps crawling out of a light fixture or vent, can mean a nest in the wall space.
  • Stings near the same spot. Repeated stings or aggressive wasps around a door, deck or trash area mean a nest is close. Late summer is when many colonies get bigger and more defensive.

Local conditions

Exterminators For Wasps in Benson: What to Know

The long warm season in the Southeast lets paper wasps, red wasps and yellowjackets build early and keep going late, and ground nests are common in lawns and old burrows.

Calls about wasp problems come from every Benson ZIP code, day and night.

How the Job Is Done

  • Identify the insect and the nest. The technician confirms whether it is paper wasps, hornets or yellowjackets, and whether the nest is open, covered or buried, because each calls for a different approach.
  • Treat at dusk or after dark. Most of the colony is inside the nest and calmer at night, so treatment is often done in the evening, with a dust or spray applied to the nest opening in protective gear.
  • Remove and recheck. Once the activity stops, the nest is taken down where it can be reached. A follow-up visit may be needed, since returning foragers or a second nest can keep the problem going.

When you call

What to Tell the Pest Control Company

A minute of detail on the phone means the right plan on the first visit.

  • Where the nest is, such as eaves, a tree, a wall, a shed or a hole in the ground.
  • What the insects look like: slim and orange, black and yellow, or large and dark with white faces.
  • How big the nest is, how high it sits, and whether there is more than one on the property.
  • Whether anyone in the household is allergic to stings, and whether you have already been stung.

Why do exterminators treat wasp nests at night?

Wasps are less active after dark, and almost all of them are inside the nest, so treatment reaches the whole colony with fewer stings. Treating in daylight lets foragers return and attack.

How much does wasp nest removal cost?

One nest usually runs about $95 to $295. A large hornet nest often costs about $195 to $590, and a property with several nests or a repeat visit can run about $245 to $690. Height and how hard the nest is to reach affect the price.

Will wasps come back after the nest is removed?

Old nests are not reused, but a new queen may start a fresh nest in the same sheltered spot the next spring. Closing gaps in the eaves and having the area checked in late spring helps catch a new nest while it is still small.
