Wasp Identification & Prevention

There are many different types of wasps, and these stinging, nesting pests are dangerous to host around your property. It’s important to look out for signs that wasps have moved onto your property, as quick wasp removal stops you or those you care about from dealing with the dangers presented by wasp infestations.

Signs that you may have a wasp problem include:

• Swarming wasps buzzing around your property, making their way to and from their nest.
• Loud buzzing sounds can be heard around your property.
• You notice a nest hidden around your property or high up in the trees around the exterior of your building.

Professional wasp removal service in Cookeville and Crossville, TN, is the best way to defeat wasp infestations once you notice these signs.

While wasps are important pollinators and help to manage insect populations, they create significant issues once they move onto your property and nest due to the health and safety threats that infestations of wasps bring. Wasps will build their nests in tight spaces around ceilings, attics, under decks, and along the siding of your property; this introduces moisture, leading to damage and mold growth.

Wasps are particularly notable for their aggressive natures and tendency to sting individuals that pass too closely to them or their nests. Wasps may sting multiple times, something that leads to lots of pain, swelling, irritation, and the risk of severe allergic reactions.

Wasps may also chew through the wooden structures of your property, creating damage and the need for costly repairs.

Wasps are typically attracted to properties with plenty of food, nesting spaces, and moisture. They are attracted to protein-rich items, sweet-smelling flowers, and leftover food such as desserts and sodas. It’s important to minimize these wasp attractants if you want to avoid encouraging this pest to settle around your property.

Wasps are typically found nesting outdoors underneath decks, on the siding of your property, hanging from patios or garages, and high up in trees. They may also be able to find small entryways into your home via utility areas and gaps around windows and doors, leading to them creating nests in attics, the space between walls, crawl spaces, and basements.
