Most calls in New Castle are for paper wasps and yellowjackets, which nest in the eaves and the ground. We treat wasps and hornets, and we do not harm the beneficial bees we are sometimes asked about.

Q: Why are the nests worse in late summer?

Colonies grow through the summer and peak in August and September, which is when they are largest and the workers are most defensive.

No, and we do not recommend it. Disturbing an active nest triggers an attack, and the wasps will rebuild. A targeted treatment removes the colony.
