Stinging Insect Control

About Wasp, Hornet, Yellow Jacket & Other Stinging Insect Control

Overview of Stinging
Insect Control

Stinging insects like wasps, hornets and yellow jackets are a common concern for residents and businesses in New Hampshire. These insects typically seek sheltered nesting sites in and around structures during the warmer months. Common nesting locations include eaves, roof overhangs, wall voids, and tree branches. The eaves of homes and businesses provide an especially attractive environment for these stinging insects, offering protection and proximity to outdoor spaces where they can forage for food. Additionally, hornets, wasps and yellow jackets may be drawn to gardens and flowering plants, making outdoor areas around homes and businesses susceptible to nest-building activities.
 

Stinging insects in New Hampshire can pose a risk to individuals who come into close proximity to their nests. It’s crucial to be aware of the signs of nest-building and take preventive measures, such as regularly inspecting potential nesting sites and seeking professional pest control services for safe and effective nest removal. Managing these stinging insects requires a combination of vigilance, proper landscaping practices, and timely intervention to create a safer and more enjoyable outdoor environment for residents and businesses in the region.
