The Benefits of Wasp Nest Removal Services

Sprawling metropolitan areas – from Toronto, Ontario to New York, New York, and everything in between – are invariably going to be plagued with pest problems, given their sizes and ever-expanding populations, respectively; there are innumerable factors that contribute to the possibility of developing a pest problem, most of which are often out of the hands of homeowners or renters and, more specifically, are resistant to methods of prevention. Given the sheer number of possible pests one can encounter, removal is often one’s best bet, particularly when the problems can be as varied as:

- Rodents
- Cockroaches
- Bedbugs
- Pavement or carpenter ants
- Wasps, hornets and bees
- Millipedes and centipedes

Be it an urgent need for Greater Toronto wasp nest removal services or solutions to your cockroach problem in the downtown core, experts are likely needed if effective intervention is going to be undertaken; indeed, some pests – such as centipedes – are tolerated in smaller numbers because of the benefits that they bring (such as their own ability to control and devour other, smaller pests), but if their presence gets to be imposing or dangerous, steps need to be taken to eradicate them, which can be difficult using store-bought products and other readily available extermination tools. This is especially true in the case of bees, hornets, and most urgently, their aggressive sibling, wasps, who are prone to a certain mob mentality and manifold violent inclinations.

According to the top hymenoptera experts in Canada, wasps are, by far, the top stinging menace in Toronto and other major Canadian cities. The most common wasp species in the Southern Ontario area are the Yellow Jacket and Bald-Faced Hornet, both of which are extremely aggressive. Their sharp territorial instinct to sting anyone too close to the nest leads to many unprovoked attacks, and each species can sting multiple times. Hornets also release a pheromone when threatened that will alert other nearby hornets to swarm to defend the nest – this is why it is imperative to seek professional help, rather than squashing the nest on one’s own.

Wasps, for instance, can be taken care of more easily and early on if their nests are spotted. During the early spring and late summer, they become extremely active and are more likely to be seen in and around the home. They will nest in chimneys, attics, under eaves and ledges, inside wall hollows and window frames – no doubt, they can cause extensive damage your home with their sporadic nest-building activities.

Homeowners thereby ought to hire an expert to remove nests due to the danger of being stung multiple times by an aggressive swarm; there are, indeed, many benefits to using a licensed, trained professional with proper equipment who can efficiently remove the nest while you stay safe.

While deliberating upon the right contractor for you, remember that a quality exterminator will:

- Provide you with a fair warranty

- Give you a no-cost quote over the phone

- Utilize chemicals that are safe to use around children and pets

- Have a policy regarding additional nests found

- Present their certification and credentials from the Ministry of Environment

Using an expert wasp removal service is the safest, most efficient way to protect your family and home from aggressive wasps and will give you a serene sense of closure in the knowledge that the problem has been taken care of safely and efficiently.
