Stinging insect nests grow all summer. A small nest in May can be a big one by August.

Where nests hide

Paper wasps build under eaves and on porches. Bald-faced hornets build in trees and shrubs. Yellowjackets nest underground and in walls.

Why it matters

Stings are painful and some people are severely allergic. Disturbing a nest is the main reason people get stung.

When to call

Call us for any nest near a door, a deck, a play area or inside a wall. If someone is allergic, do not try to deal with it yourself.
