“Let’s set the record straight: wasps & hornets are largely, overwhelmingly beneficial to the ecosystem. However, they can absolutely cause a problem if they nest up against your house.
Hornets and yellow jackets are defensive and social. They protect their home and can build nests in the ground or any wall void.
Call Hawx if you see nests on your property and we will safely address the problem.”

Pest Control for Wasps and Hornets: How it Works
- Comprehensive Inspection & Nest Mapping
Your Hawx technician starts by walking the property, identifying active nests, flight paths, and likely entry gaps. This assessment helps us to formulate a wasp treatment strategy that suits your home’s unique architecture and outdoor areas.
- Safe Nest Removal & De‑Webbing
We use extendable poles and protective gear for instant mud dauber, hornet, and wasp nest removal from eaves, soffits, and light fixtures, then treat the attachment points to discourage rebuilds and cut off your wasp infestation at its source.
- Barrier & Crack Applications
A residual liquid is applied to foundations, fascia boards, and wall voids, while dust is injected into tiny crevices. This dual-layer approach gives you ongoing wasp and hornet pest control, keeping new queens from colonizing vulnerable spots.
- Follow‑Up Warranty & Prevention Tips
Each visit ends with a digital service report, photos, and some simple wasp prevention advice—like trimming overgrown shrubs and sealing your attic vents. If wasps or hornets return, our warranty covers free retreatments for continuous protection.

FAQs
How can I tell if I have a serious wasp infestation?
Frequent sightings of wasps entering the same eave, spotting a nest under roof overhangs, or noticing an increased presence near shrubs are usually signals of a wasp infestation. An inspection from Hawx can confirm nest locations and species.
Is DIY wasp or hornet removal safe?
Store‑bought sprays rarely reach hidden queens, and messing with an active nest can trigger aggressive swarms. Hawx pest control experts use protective gear, modern products, and proven techniques to eliminate wasp and hornet colonies safely and thoroughly.
Are hornet stings more dangerous than wasp stings?
Hornets inject a larger volume of venom, which may cause more intense pain and swelling, especially for those with allergies. Prompt hornet treatment safely removes nests and reduces the risk of multiple stings.
How can I prevent wasps and hornets from coming back?
Seal soffit gaps, close outdoor trash cans, and trim back dense foliage touching your home. Combining these steps with routine Hawx wasp control visits greatly reduces the chance of new nests forming and causing new problems. Follow‑up visits under our General Pest Control plan (GPC) ensure that any new activity is handled quickly.
