Quick Answers
When are wasps and yellow jackets worst?
Late summer. Nests are at their largest in August and September, and yellow jackets get more aggressive near food.
Should I remove a nest myself?
Ground nests and nests inside walls are risky to treat on your own. A sealed wall nest can push wasps into the house.
What about honey bees?
Many pest companies refer honey bee swarms to a local beekeeper who can move them alive. Ask before you book.
Does a wasp removal company need a license in Ohio?
Ohio requires a pesticide business license from the Ohio Department of Agriculture for any company that applies pesticides on someone else’s property for pay. Ask for the license number before work starts.
What to Know Before You Call About Wasps and Hornets
Paper wasps build open nests under eaves. Bald faced hornets build large gray paper balls in trees. Yellow jackets often nest in the ground or in walls.
Keep kids and pets away from the nest and do not plug the hole. Point it out to the company when they arrive.
If anyone in the home is allergic to stings, say so when you call.
