How We Handle Hornets & Wasps
Our approach follows Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, combining inspections, habitat modification, and targeted treatments to manage infestations effectively while minimizing environmental impact.
- Inspection and identification. We locate nests and identify the species, yellowjackets, paper wasps, or mud daubers, to determine the safest and most effective treatment methods.
- Targeted treatment. Using nest removal, insecticide applications, and exclusion measures tailored to your property, we control current infestations and reduce the risk of future problems.
- Safe practices. All methods prioritize safety for families, pets, and the surrounding environment, ensuring minimal disruption.
- Follow-up and prevention. Scheduled follow-ups allow us to monitor results and recommend preventive measures, including sealing entry points, removing attractants, and maintaining property conditions that discourage wasp activity.

Common Species We Encounter
Recognizing the types of hornets and wasps in your area can help you respond quickly and safely to infestations.
Here’s what to look for:
- Yellowjackets. Stocky black-and-yellow wasps that are highly defensive and can sting multiple times. They often build colonies in ground cavities, wall voids, or under eaves. Activity near trash, outdoor dining areas, or picnic spots can indicate their presence.
- Paper wasps. Slender-bodied wasps with long legs and brown or reddish coloring with yellow markings. They create umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, branches, or pipes. While less aggressive than yellowjackets, they will sting if their nest is threatened.
- Mud daubers. Solitary wasps with elongated, dark, sometimes metallic bodies. They construct tube-like mud nests on walls, ceilings, or other sheltered areas. Mud daubers rarely sting and pose minimal risk but should still be monitored.
Identifying the species helps determine the safest removal method and informs preventive steps. Knowing which insects are present allows you to protect your property, family, and pets while addressing infestations effectively.

Why Wasps & Hornets Are a Concern
Painful Stings
Hornets and wasps can sting multiple times. While most stings cause temporary pain and swelling, some individuals may experience severe allergic reactions.
Aggressive Behavior
These insects are defensive when threatened, especially near nests. Disturbing a nest, even accidentally, increases the likelihood of stings.
Property Risks
Wasps and hornets often build nests in walls, attics, sheds, and eaves. Left untreated, nests can cause structural damage and deter visitors or customers from your property.
Outdoor Activities
Infestations can make yards, patios, and outdoor business spaces unsafe, limiting recreational or commercial use.
At Local Pest Solutions, our treatments target nests efficiently while minimizing long-term risks so you can enjoy your property safely.
