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.
