The most effective way to get rid of wasps or hornets is to treat the main cause of the problem – the nest.
Removing a nest can be very dangerous. Wasps inside the nest will feel threatened and often become aggressive. This could cause them to sting you and others as they defend their nest and young.
To get rid of wasps you do 'not' need to remove the nest, but you do need to treat it and the nesting wasps.
To reduce the risk of stings to you and your family, arrange for a professional wasp nest treatment. This effective solution will eliminate the wasps and keep you safe from the threat of stings.

A mature wasp nest only found in late summer will almost certainly require professional treatment due to the high risk of wasp stings. By this stage, a nest may contain thousands of individual wasps.
Many wasps including yellow jackets frequently construct their nests below ground, making it difficult to treat. Sometimes nests are below concrete slabs or piles of rock or vegetation.
It can be difficult to treat the nest in these instances and activity will continue despite your repeated attempts at control.
Our qualified technicians have the expertise to identify the specific species.
All technicians have special protective gear to keep safe during treatment.
All treatments are customized to ensure effective control of the wasp or hornet nest, based on its location.
