Bee, Hornet, Wasp, and Yellow Jacket Extermination and Nest Removal
While wasps and hornets have their purpose in hunting and controlling pest insects, their painful sting means that they can be a danger when they nest near or inside of homes. When faced with these nests, it is tempting to remove the nest immediately. There are circumstances when this can be done safely. There are also many circumstances where, for safety reasons, this should be done by a licensed pest control professional.

When You Should Call A Professional Exterminator
When wasps and hornets nest inside of walls, it is absolutely best to call a professional. The two most widely available commercial insecticides–sprays and dust–cannot be used for various reasons. Sprays are simply ineffective due to the distance from the nest to the entrance and commercial dust is legally only allowed to be used outdoors. A licensed pest control professional can ensure that the wasps and hornets nesting inside of a wall are safely destroyed, after which the structure should be sealed up in order to prevent more wasps and hornets from re-entering and re-colonizing the space.
Do-it-yourself wasp and hornet removal should only be done under very specific circumstances for safety’s sake. Otherwise, an exterminator should be the one to eliminate the nest.
