Stinging insect control

Our Stinging Insect Control Service
Here in Dayton, queen wasps build their nests in spring. By the end of fall, these colonies reach their maximum size, often housing up to 5000 wasps. So, if you’re dealing with a stinging insect infestation at home, the experts at Dayton Pest Control can help! We will safely treat for hornets, yellow jackets, paper wasps, and other stinging insects without endangering your family or pets. We can also pre-treat your home to discourage these stinging pests from building nests in the first place!
Our Unique Approach To Stinging Insect Control
Calling a professional to help you get rid of hornets, yellow jackets, or paper wasps is your best option, even if you’re comfortable removing them on your own. These stinging insects make nests in tricky spots like the ground, your home’s walls, and other hard-to-reach areas, plus getting rid of them depends on the time of the year.
1. WASP/hornet NEST INSPECTION
If necessary, we’ll perform a thorough inspection of your property, checking for nests under eaves, in the ground, around bushes and trees, and more. Our customers often know what they’re dealing with, and we’re happy to give them a quote by phone. Our goal is to locate all nests and identify the wasp species (hornet, yellow jacket, paper wasp, etc.) so we can get rid of these stinging insects for good.
2. KNOCKDOWN NESTS
We’ll use an aerosol or liquid spray to treat the wasp/hornets’ nest(s). We are trained to safely treat to minimize the risk of being stung while eliminating your problem. We often recommend waiting several days before removing any nests (or feel free to leave it there).
3. KILL EMERGING WASPS/hornets
We’ll dust void areas with an insecticide to kill emerging wasps and discourage them from returning next season. This will continue to kill wasps for six months (or more) in areas where the dust is protected.
4. SPRAY FUTURE NESTING AREAS
We’ll spray the wasp infestation (and surrounding area) with a residual liquid insecticide. This treatment not only controls wasps but also prevents these stinging insects from constructing nests in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! For roughly 24 hours, you will see foraging wasps return to their nest, which is no longer there. They may be irritated, so we recommend staying away from this area until there are no more stinging insects. To schedule your wasp nest removal, please call [PHONE] today!
Yes, but it’s not something we recommend. It takes special skills to remove stinging insects safely. Hornets and yellow jackets are far more challenging (and dangerous) to remove than paper wasps. So if you decide to treat a nest on your own, please proceed with caution. Follow standard safety protocols like treating the nest at night and wearing a wasp suit sealed at the wrists, ankles, and collar.
