Wasp Exterminator

Wasp Exterminator - RECON Pest Services

Wasps nest in the wood hole

Aggressive wasps building nests around your deck? Getting stung while trying to enjoy your backyard? At RECON Pest Services, we know how dangerous wasp problems can get. These flying stingers defend their territory fiercely and can sting multiple times without losing their stinger.

Our wasp exterminator services safely remove nests and eliminate colonies before someone gets hurt. These social insects become more aggressive as their nests grow larger through summer. What starts as a few wasps in spring can become hundreds by fall.

Nebraska’s warm summers create perfect wasp breeding conditions. They build paper nests under eaves, in trees, and around outdoor living areas where they threaten family gatherings and outdoor activities. Once wasps claim an area, they’ll attack anyone who gets too close.

Bee and Wasp Pest Control Services

We handle every type of stinging insect problem Nebraska properties face:

  • Yellow Jacket Exterminator services eliminate the most aggressive wasps that build nests in wall voids, ground holes, and attic spaces. These wasps become extremely defensive and attack in swarms.
  • Paper Wasp Control removes umbrella-shaped nests from under eaves, deck railings, and porch ceilings. These wasps have long legs and build open nests that are easy to spot.
  • Hornet Elimination handles Nebraska’s largest wasps that build massive paper nests in trees and under roof overhangs. Their stings are particularly painful and dangerous.
  • Ground Wasp Treatments target yellow jackets and other wasps that nest in holes in your lawn or garden areas. These hidden nests are hard to see until you step on them.
  • Mud Dauber Removal eliminates solitary wasps that build mud tubes on walls, under eaves, and in garages. They’re less aggressive but their nests are ugly and messy.
  • Carpenter Bee Control stops wood-boring bees from damaging your deck, eaves, and outdoor structures. They drill perfectly round holes to lay eggs in wood.
  • Honeybee Relocation safely moves beneficial bee colonies to new locations when possible. These fuzzy pollinators deserve protection when they’re not threatening people.
  • Emergency Wasp Response handles urgent situations where nests threaten safety at outdoor events, business operations, or family gatherings that can’t be postponed.

Bee and Wasp Exterminator: Dealing with Different Species

Each stinging insect needs different removal approaches based on its behavior:

  • Yellow jackets are the most dangerous Nebraska wasps. They nest in large colonies and become increasingly aggressive through summer. Their ground nests are hard to see until disturbed.
  • Paper wasps build smaller colonies with open, umbrella-shaped nests. They’re less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting if their nest is threatened.
  • Hornets build large enclosed nests that can house hundreds of wasps. They’re aggressive defenders, and their size makes their stings especially painful.
  • Mud daubers are solitary and rarely aggressive. They build individual mud chambers for their young but don’t defend them aggressively like social wasps.
  • Carpenter bees bore into wood to lay eggs. Males hover and act threatening but can’t sting. Females can sting but rarely do unless directly handled.
  • Honeybees are beneficial pollinators that we relocate when possible. They only sting when threatened and die after stinging once.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Wasp and Bee Control

What's the difference between bees and wasps?
Bees are fuzzy and eat flower nectar. Wasps are smooth and eat other bugs. Wasps are much more likely to sting you than bees.
Can wasps sting multiple times?
Yes. Honeybees can only sting once, but wasps keep their stinger and can hit you over and over. That’s why they’re more dangerous.
When are wasps most aggressive?
Late summer and fall when their nests are biggest and food gets harder to find. They also get cranky and start looking for sweet things around people.
How many wasps live in a nest?
It depends on the type. Paper wasp nests might have 50 wasps, but yellow jacket colonies can have thousands by late summer.
Will wasps attack if I don't bother them?
Usually no, but yellow jackets and hornets defend large areas around their nests. You might get too close without knowing where the nest is.

Treatment and Safety

How do you remove wasp nests safely?
We use protective gear and treat nests during cool morning hours when wasps are less active. Special equipment lets us reach high nests safely.
Can you relocate wasps like you do with bees?
No, wasps are too aggressive and don’t benefit the environment like bees do. Most wasp species need to be eliminated for safety.
What should I do if I get stung?
Clean the area with soap and water, then put ice on it to stop swelling. Get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing or severe reactions.
How do you find hidden ground nests?
We watch for wasp flight patterns and look for small holes in the ground with wasps going in and out. Ground nests are tricky to spot.
Will removing one nest stop the problem?
For that colony, yes. But other queens might build new nests nearby. We treat the whole area to prevent new colonies from starting.

Specific Wasp Issues

Why do wasps hang around my trash cans?
They’re looking for sugary drinks and food scraps. Keep lids tight and clean up spills to make your trash less attractive to them.
Can wasps build nests inside my house?
Yes, yellow jackets sometimes build nests in wall voids or attics. You might hear buzzing sounds or see wasps coming from small holes.
Do wasp nests need to be removed in winter?
Old nests won’t be used again, but removing them stops other bugs from moving in and prevents new queens from building nearby.
Why are wasps attracted to my deck?
Food, drinks, and shelter. They also like the wood stain and might try to build nests under railings or eaves nearby.
Can I spray wasp nests myself?
We don’t recommend it. Angry wasps attack in groups and can chase you a long way. Professional gear keeps you safe during removal.
