Why Ashton homes get wasps and hornets

The volcanic loam and sandy soil that surrounds Ashton is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what wasps and hornets need to thrive. The the Snake River Plain, mountains, and high desert adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Snake River and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you remove a nest safely?

We treat the nest at the low-activity time, usually evening, apply a targeted product, and remove the nest where it is safe. Protective gear and a planned escape route are standard.

Q: Are these bees or wasps?

Most calls in Ashton 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.

Q: Can I just knock the nest down?

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.

Q: How much does wasp nest removal cost in Ashton?

An exposed nest under the eaves runs $120 to $250 in Ashton, with ground nests and wall voids running higher. Same-day service is available for nests near the doors and the high-traffic areas.
