WHY CONTROL WASPS?
If you’ve noticed wasps flying around your home or yard, there’s a good chance a nest is nearby—and that can quickly turn into a painful problem.
Whether it’s under an eave, inside a shed, or tucked beneath a deck, wasp nests can make even the most routine outdoor tasks feel risky.
While paper wasps help control other insects, they become aggressive when they feel threatened. That puts your family, pets, and visitors at risk—especially during warm months when nests grow fast and wasps become more territorial.
1. Reclaim Your Outdoor Spaces
No one wants to dodge wasps every time they step outside. Professional wasp removal helps you take back your yard so you can relax, play, and enjoy your space again—sting-free.
2. Minimize Health Risks
Wasp stings aren’t just painful—they can trigger serious allergic reactions. The sooner nests are handled, the lower the risk of a dangerous encounter.
3. Stop the Spread Early
Wasp colonies build fast. What starts as a single nest can quickly turn into a recurring issue. Getting ahead of it now can save you from bigger problems later on.

Tips for Wasp Prevention:
Once treatment is complete, here are a few ways to help keep wasps from returning:
- 1
Seal Entry Points: Check for any openings or crevices where wasps can enter. Seal these areas to prevent wasps from nesting inside.
- 2
Remove Food Sources: Wasps are attracted to food, particularly sugary substances. Keep outdoor areas free of exposed food and drinks, especially during summer gatherings.
- 3
Check for Early Nests: Regularly inspect high-risk areas like roof eaves or sheds for signs of small nests forming. Removing nests in the early stages is much easier and safer.
- 4
Yard Maintenance: Trim overgrown plants and trees, and clear debris where wasps might build nests. Keeping your yard tidy discourages wasps from settling in.

HOW TO SPOT WASP ACTIVITY
Wasps can be discreet that’s why identifying them early can help prevent them from becoming a serious problem around your home. Be aware of these signs of wasp activity to stay ahead of infestations:
1. Unusual Buzzing Sounds
If you hear consistent buzzing near windows, walls, or attics, it could indicate that wasps are building a nest in hidden areas, like inside walls or roof voids.
2. Small, Paper-Like Structures
Before wasp nests grow large, they start as small paper-like formations. Check for these early structures under eaves, in corners of sheds, or beneath outdoor furniture.
3. Frequent Wasps at Food or Trash
Sweet foods and proteins attract wasps. If you see a noticeable increase in wasps around outdoor food, trash cans, or compost bins, there may be a nearby nest.

They do an amazing job with our pest control and keeping all the mosquitos at bay. I really appreciate how caring & respective Gene is towards these animals and rodents…
Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful-I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!
Highly recommend using this company for any pest control needs and or wildlife issues.
Jared was super helpful, set up traps, and we are looking forward to a raccoon free attic.
Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management came to my house to deal with a serious bat problem. I have had no issues with bats since they came, and the guy who did the work on my house was thorough and took obvious pride in his work. They are knowledgeable and thorough and don’t take the easy way out. It was clear that they really cared about solving my bat issue and I highly recommend them to anyone with a bat problem.
