When to Call a Hornet and Wasp Exterminator

Metro Orlando FL | Kissimmee - Sanford - Leesburg

Bees, wasps, and hornets are pollinators, and classified as beneficial insects. We rely on them to pollinate our fruits, grains, and vegetables. When their nests are away from human dwellings and businesses, there’s no problem. But when nests start to form in or around places where humans frequent, some action needs to be taken.

If you feel like wasps are a threat to the health and safety of your family, don’t wait to act.

When to Remove a Bee or Wasp Nest

In most cases, it’s best to avoid disturbing bees and wasps entirely. However, when their nests are in high-traffic areas, bees and wasps are more likely to perceive a threat and defend their nest at all costs. Additionally, in the late summer months some bees and wasps become more aggressive in seeking out food like sugar and fruit, which can bring them into contact with you and your family. If you decide to use pesticide or chemical sprays, keep in mind they can be extremely poisonous and should never be used indoors or near other people. Bottom line, removing a nest can be dangerous and always always should be handled by a professional pest control expert, especially if you or someone in your family is allergic.
