Hornet Service
Although we need Wasp and Hornets as pollinators, they can be dangerous, and we don’t want them in our house being a nuisance or threat.
We have specialized plans to help with this service. We are not a company that expects one service to fit all needs by our clients. Call us today to receive a quote and plan of action!
Hornet and Wasps
Warm weather tends to bring everyone outside, including stinging pests. While the stings from wasps, bees, hornets or yellow jackets may hurt, they can also cause more serious health issues like painful swelling, infections, nausea, and in rare cases even death. Not only do you need to worry about the stinging pests themselves, but also about locating and removing their breeding places.
What’s the difference between a wasp and a hornet?
1. Its physical appearance. Hornets tend to be larger and rounder than wasps and usually have brown or reddish-orange markings on their backs, as opposed to the black and yellow wasp.
2. Its social habits. Hornets are social insects, sometimes coming from nests of over 100 other hornets. Wasps can be either social or lonesome insects, varying by species.
3. Its aggression.
Hornets are less likely to be provoked than some other species of wasps, but when you threaten them or their nest, their sting can be more painful than other kinds of stinging insects.
Because there are so many types of stinging insects in Tennessee, it can be difficult to identify which one has built their home near you. Contact us to help you identify and eliminate them. Schedule your stinging insect inspection today.
Wasps and hornets that are found around Tennessee are capable of stinging and biting. Unlike bees, a wasp can sting repeatedly, as its stinger isn’t removed from its body in the process of an attack. A single hornet sting can feel very painful because of the venom that it carries. With wasps, you might be in for more than just one sting. A wasp whose nest has been threatened releases a pheromone that alerts other wasps to assume a defensive demeanor. Anyone in their path is likely to be stung.
It’s normal to see wasp nests when out hiking or in the wilderness, but what about when they’re built right next to your home? Nests can become unsafe in areas of heavy human activity. Some of these stinging insects can take aggressive measures to defend their nests, making it important to call a professional wasp exterminator to help remove them. It’s never a good idea to remove wasp or hornet nests on your own without experience.
In the warm months, stinging insects buzz around your home, often building nests inside attics and gutters, or under decks or eaves. It is important to find and seal cracks and crevices to keep these pests from migrating indoors.
If your property features ample trees, shrubs, or nectar-rich flowers, many stinging insects can take up residence near you. However, there are a few precautions you can take to ensure these bugs stay away from areas like porches, patios, and decks, including:
Landscaping away from common areas
Securing trash cans
Cleaning up food or drink spills
Eliminating other pest infestations, such as anthills
Avoiding bright-colored, floral clothing
Avoiding heavily scented colognes and perfumes
Wasps and other stinging insects love soda spills, open trash cans, and sugary treats. Wasps can attack if provoked. It’s important to call a professional who will safely remove the nest so you can enjoy the outdoors.
Although you are doing all you can to keep these pesky bugs away, stinging insects can still manage to be a bother. Thankfully, when you partner with Pest Solutions, we can implement advanced pest control measures to ward off these bugs from your yard.
If you find a nest on your property, removing it safely and completely can be difficult. You should never try to remove a wasp or hornet nest by yourself, even a small one. A lot of insects can fit inside those small nests, and they will be ready to defend their home. It’s best to call an expert to help remove a wasp or hornet nest.
Reclaim your yard from stinging insects and start enjoying cookouts, picnics, and playing without worrying about a painful bite or sting. We can help eradicate nests, as well as help you eliminate pests to ward off future problems.
Because there are so many types of stinging insects in Tennessee, it can be difficult to identify which one has built their home near you. Contact us to help you identify and eliminate them. Schedule your stinging insect inspection today.
Wasp and hornet nest removal is best left to a licensed professional pest control company such as Pest Solutions.
