Cost of Damage
Other Damage?
They cause structural damage only if found nesting inside. They are venomous and can cause allergic reactions.
Signs to Look For
Large wasps, 1 to 2 inches. Primarily black in color with white markings on the thorax and abdomen.
Where are they noticed?
They are seen everywhere in the warmer months, foraging for food like other species. They build oval shaped paper nests that can be found in trees, shrubs and attached to eaves on homes.
Habits
Known to be very aggressive when provoked. The hives are dormant during the winter. New hives are created every spring. The hives grow much larger as the warm season progresses; workers in these hives can number in the thousands.
If Untreated…
Possible stings to people or pets.
Tips
Perform a preventative, exterior wasp treatment around the outside of a structure each spring and fall, which will greatly reduce the wasp population before they have a chance to build any significant hives. The lower the wasp population, the less chance of wasp problems.
Why You Should Hire
You want a company to show up quickly, on time, and get rid of the pests that are bothering you. That is exactly what we specialize in. We are a family owned company with over 22 years experience that relies on service, not sales gimmicks.
Our philosophy is simple: We strive for excellence. Every employee in our company has this memorized, How we define excellence: “Giving the customer what they’re paying for, NO short cuts.” It is that simple. Our mission is to show up on time and get rid of the problem. No hassles. You can ask anyone in our company what our motto is and the answer will be the same.
No sales gimmicks or tricks. We’re consumers like everyone else, and don’t like someone trying to sell us something we don’t need, so we don’t do it here. We will tell you what you need, not what we want you to buy. That’s why we don’t make our customers sign contracts or remain obligated. You can use us for one service or many. We leave the decision up to you.
We are a service based business not a sales based business. Show up on time and do what you’re supposed to do. I am amazed at how many customers don’t expect this anymore from the companies they hire. When a company is providing an excellent service then referrals and increased sales are a natural result.
