Wasp Control Info
Wasps in Eaves
When paper wasp nests in eaves grow large in summer, that’s when Portland wasp control gets busy. Paper wasps (Polistes sp.) are known for building nests under soffits and becoming a nuisance at picnics.
Paper Wasps
Inspect regularly and take early action to prevent paper wasps nests from bugging you.
- Set traps early in the Spring, so you can try to catch the Queen before they build a troublesome nest.
- Wasps can smell the colony’s pheromones, so they will often return to an old nesting site, even if the nest is destroyed.
In general, paper wasps are less aggressive than yellow jackets & bald-faced hornets.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are more common inside soffits voids, utility & fence poles, and nests in the ground.
The best way to get rid of an underground yellow jacket nest is to dig it up and destroy it. As you can imagine, they will be very upset and try to sting you repeatedly, so this is best handled by a professional with the right equipment & training.
For yellow jacket nests in holes in the house or poles, use a natural wasp repellent spray to deter them and treat the nest. Repeat as needed.
Natural Yellow Jacket Removal
Yellow jackets and paper wasps are opportunists. They love the chicken wings and sodas at our barbecues. We can use this to our advantage. Placing raw meat, cat food, jelly or even sweet & sour sauce inside a store-bought wasp or yellow jacket trap can increase the trap’s effectiveness.
