High Desert Pest Control
Wasp Control
Wasps build nests under eaves, in attic vents, and around play areas and patios. Their stings are a real hazard for kids, pets, and anyone allergic.
Call Now — (442) 437-8396How do you get rid of a wasp nest safely?
Leave it to a professional: disturbing a nest can bring out the whole colony. We treat and remove the nests we can safely reach and treat the eaves, vents and other common nesting spots to discourage rebuilding. Nests are easiest to handle while they are small, so spring is the time to check under eaves and around play areas.
Signs of a wasp problem
- Nests under eaves, in vents, or in trees and shrubs
- Steady wasp traffic around a specific spot
- Wasps around trash, food, or sweet drinks outdoors
How we handle it
We treat and remove accessible nests and treat common nesting points to discourage rebuilding. (We focus on the nests we can safely reach.)

How wasps get inside
- Open or torn attic vents and gable vents
- Gaps in soffit boards and fascia
- Wall voids accessed through utility penetrations
- Block wall cavities that face the home's interior
When they're most active
Wasp activity ramps up in early summer as queens establish nests, peaks in late summer when colonies are largest, and tapers in fall. The most aggressive period is August — colonies are at peak size and workers are stressed by dwindling food sources.
What you can do before we get there
A few quick things you can do today that'll make any treatment — ours or your own — work better.
- Inspect under eaves and around play areas every spring for early nest starts (much easier to handle small)
- Keep outdoor trash cans tightly sealed
- Don't leave open soda cans or sweet drinks outside
- Patch torn screens on attic and roof vents
Questions about wasp control
Should I remove a wasp nest myself?+
It's risky. Disturbing a nest can bring out the whole colony, and wasps can sting repeatedly — a real danger for anyone allergic. It's safest to have a professional treat it. We treat and remove the nests we can safely reach and treat the common nesting spots to discourage rebuilding.
When are wasps most aggressive?+
Late summer, especially August. Colonies are at their largest by then and food is getting scarce, so workers are more defensive. Nests are much easier to handle when they're small, so check under eaves and around play areas for early nests in spring.
