OUR RECCOMENDATION 

Stinging insect problems are best addressed before nests become established and activity increases around the home. Preventative treatments in the spring, summer, and fall can help reduce nesting activity and keep stinging insects from becoming an ongoing problem around your home.

​

For active nests, prompt treatment and removal should be performed to reduce the risk of stings and repeated activity.
