Frequently Asked Questions

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 Montpelier?

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

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 Montpelier 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.
