You’ve found a wasp nest on your property. What do you do next? Do you attack it with the water hose or douse it in bug spray? Only if you want the wrath of hundreds of angry wasps upon you. Often times, the smartest thing to do is to let the wasp nest removal professionals handle it. But why?

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you spray a large wasp nest with store bought bug spray that you risk a LOT of stings. These sprays may not be effective on a large hive and will only anger the wasps.

A professional will come to your home with the proper equipment and protective gear. Attempting to dismantle a wasp nest without equipment could result in injury.

Just like you probably don’t have the right equipment for the job, you most likely don’t have the knowledge or understanding of wasps that a professional would. While you may be well-versed in other subjects, unless you are a wasp expert, it’s not recommended that you try to rid your home of them yourself. There are many factors that are involved in proper nest removal.

If you’ve never been stung by a wasp, you probably do not know if you’re allergic to them or not. Being allergic to wasps is bad enough when you get one sting, but being stung by quite a few could be deadly.

A professional will bring the proper equipment to protect him or her from the chemicals being used. They also may know how to contain the chemicals in order to prevent exposure to your family. You may also consider asking about more environmentally conscious chemicals if this is a concern.

As you can see, it would be to your benefit to allow the wasp nest removal professionals to handle a wasp invasion. If you have a wasp problem, call us at Foundation Pest Control. One of our friendly and knowledgeable experts will be happy to assist you!
