FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Spotting and Safely Managing Wasp Nests Around Your Home
Cleveland, OH — Wasps can pose a serious threat to the safety and comfort of your home, especially if their nests are disturbed. Identifying a wasp nest early is key to preventing dangerous encounters and ensuring timely removal. Wasps are known for their painful stings, and individuals with allergies are at greater risk. By recognizing wasp nesting behavior and understanding where these insects are likely to build their nests, homeowners can take appropriate action before colonies grow too large.
Recognizing Wasp Behavior and Nesting Habits
Wasps are most active during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall. During this time, they build nests in secluded, sheltered areas such as eaves, attics, sheds, and even underground. The most common types of wasps include paper wasps, yellowjackets, and hornets. Each species has distinct nesting habits, making it essential to know what to look for. Paper wasps create umbrella-shaped nests with visible open cells, while yellowjackets and hornets build larger, enclosed nests, often hidden from view.
Safe Inspection and Professional Removal
When inspecting for a nest, proceed with caution to avoid provoking the wasps. Wearing protective clothing is recommended, and tools like flashlights or binoculars can help identify hard-to-reach nests. If you find an aggressive or hidden nest, seeking professional pest control is the safest course of action.
