Wasp and hornet removal in Elko is a late-summer job when colonies hit peak size. Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under the eaves. Yellowjackets nest in the ground and wall voids and are the most aggressive stinging insect in late summer. Bald-faced hornets build large aerial nests in trees and on building corners.
Timing matters — a nest in June has a few dozen workers; the same nest in September has a few thousand. Treatment at dusk or dawn, when the colony is clustered, gives the best result.
