Our Wasp Nest Removal Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect the entire property to locate all nests and identify the wasp species. This matters because different wasps require different approaches, and there are often multiple nests you haven’t noticed yet.

Next, we suit up in full protective gear and apply targeted treatments directly to the nest during optimal timing when wasps are least active. We remove the entire nest structure, not just spray and leave it hanging there.

Finally, we treat the area to prevent re-establishment and inspect potential nesting sites around your property. You get a clear explanation of what we found, what we did, and what to watch for going forward.

Complete Wasp Control Solutions

More Than Just Spray and Pray

You get complete nest removal, not just a chemical treatment that leaves the nest structure intact. We physically remove the entire nest so wasps can’t return to rebuild in the same spot.

Our service includes identification of all wasp activity on your property, treatment of active nests, removal of nest structures, and application of residual treatments to prevent re-establishment. We also inspect and treat potential nesting sites like eaves, deck railings, and shed overhangs.

Emergency situations get same-day response because we understand that aggressive wasps near your front door or children’s play area can’t wait until next week. You also get follow-up support if you notice any wasp activity after our treatment.

How quickly can you remove a wasp nest in Stratford?

We typically respond to wasp removal calls in Stratford within 24 hours, with same-day service available for emergency situations. The actual removal process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on nest size and location. However, we recommend scheduling treatment during early morning or evening hours when wasps are less active, which makes the process safer and more effective. If you’re dealing with aggressive wasps near high-traffic areas like doorways or play areas, we prioritize these as emergency calls and can often respond within a few hours.
Yes, when performed by licensed professionals with proper equipment and techniques. We use targeted treatments applied directly to nest sites rather than broad-spectrum spraying, and we always establish safety perimeters during treatment. Children and pets should remain indoors during the actual removal process, but the area is safe for normal activity within a few hours after treatment. Our technicians wear full protective suits and use professional-grade equipment that allows us to treat nests safely even in challenging locations like second-story eaves or enclosed areas.
Yellow jackets and hornets are actually types of wasps, but they behave very differently. Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests and are generally less aggressive unless directly threatened. Yellow jackets are more aggressive, build enclosed nests in wall voids or ground cavities, and will chase perceived threats much further. Hornets are larger, build large enclosed nests in trees or structures, and have the most painful sting. Each species requires different removal approaches and timing. Proper identification is crucial because using the wrong treatment method can make yellow jackets and hornets extremely aggressive and dangerous.
Wasps return to successful nesting sites because they leave chemical markers that attract future colonies. Simply spraying a nest without removing the structure and treating the area allows new wasps to detect these markers and rebuild in the same location. This is why DIY treatments often fail long-term. Professional removal includes complete nest structure removal, treatment of the nesting site to eliminate chemical markers, and application of residual treatments that deter future nesting attempts. We also identify and treat other attractive nesting sites around your property to prevent wasps from simply moving to a nearby location.
Early spring and late fall are ideal for prevention treatments, but active nests should be removed immediately regardless of season. Spring treatments target emerging queens before they establish colonies, while fall treatments eliminate nests before they produce next year’s queens. However, if you have an active nest causing problems, waiting for an “ideal” time isn’t practical or safe. Summer nests are at their largest and most aggressive, but our professional equipment and techniques allow us to handle removals safely year-round. The key is acting quickly once you notice wasp activity rather than hoping they’ll leave on their own.
Wasp removal costs vary based on nest size, location, and accessibility, but most residential treatments in Stratford range from $150-$400. Simple, accessible nests under eaves or deck railings are less expensive than nests inside wall voids or high locations requiring specialized equipment. Multiple nests or large yellow jacket colonies in structures require more extensive treatment and cost more. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, and emergency service calls may include additional fees for same-day response. Consider that professional removal prevents recurring problems and eliminates the safety risks and potential medical costs of DIY attempts gone wrong.
