Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bees or wasps?
Most calls in Ponder 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.

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

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.
