Repeated wasp traffic to the same spot usually means one thing: there's a nest nearby.
A few wasps flying around the yard may not seem serious—until you realize they're repeatedly entering the same opening underneath your deck, roofline or siding.
Wasps and hornets can establish nests around homes and businesses, sometimes in locations that are difficult or unsafe to access.
At Zapline Pest Control, we provide professional wasp and hornet control throughout Saskatoon and surrounding communities.
Watch for:
Repeated traffic to and from the same location can indicate a nearby nest.
Nests can appear in many areas around a property, including:
Some nests are easily visible. Others may be concealed inside structural voids.
Approaching or disturbing an active nest can cause defensive behaviour from the colony and increase the risk of stings.
This can be particularly concerning when a nest is near a doorway, patio, children's play area or another frequently used space.
Zapline assesses the location and determines an appropriate approach for the situation.
We identify the nest or determine where insects are entering and exiting.
We consider the nest location, accessibility and level of activity.
An appropriate treatment is applied to control the colony.
We'll explain what to expect afterward and identify relevant conditions that may contribute to future nesting.
Take Back Your Yard
You shouldn't have to avoid your deck, doorway or backyard because of an active wasp nest.
