Wasp Control
Just like the cranky neighbor who doesn’t want to be disturbed. Ah, summer has arrived and you’re in the mood to party with friends on the deck for the evening. You remove your grill cover, crank on the propane tank, lift the up the hood, only to find a swarming torrent of yellow and black fury spewing forth from an open combed nest, ruining your barbeque. You immediately close the hood and skedaddle, but now that you’re behind the safety of your sliding-glass door, it seems like the party might be postponed. If you’ve got grilling fever and the party can’t stop, call Bug Off Pest Control about our Wasp Service!
Why do I have them? Wasps, like many creatures, don’t really enjoy spending winter in the cold and they really don’t like when anyone barges into their territory unannounced. So, with envious work ethic, they toil away every spring through summer to build a complicated nest structure to protect their precious queen. The unfortunate part of it all is that paper wasps will build a nest in pretty much any secluded area; grills, wall voids, cinder blocks, your attic, even the old hollows of trees. If you’ve got space, they want to fill it.
What can I do to help the situation? Although it is common sense, we strongly recommend letting professionals handle any sort of stinging insect situation. The most proactive step you can take to solve or prevent issues with stinging insects is exclusion. During the cooler months of the year, inspect areas of both the interior and exterior of your home for gaps large enough for these insects to penetrate and close them in the proper way, whether by caulking, meshing or even simply removing a possible nesting area.
Is the treatment safe? Our Wasp Control is safe for humans and pets, although with any stinging insect treatment, we recommend evacuation of the immediate area for a short time to avoid any possible contact with stinging insects. Our experienced technicians will advise you on any other precautions you may need to take. But rest assured, your summer barbeque need not be plagued with unwelcome visitors.
I’d really rather not have them, so how do I get rid of these things? There are also many risks involved. To avoid the risk of being stung, call us. We have the protective equipment needed along with safe and effective methods of not only eliminating these dangerous insects, but rather the nest as whole, guaranteeing your family’s safety from a potential mishap. Our Wasp Control uses a combination of a residual treatments and a penetrating gas agent to expand deep into the nesting site.
