Yes, we do remove wasp nests! We remove them for an extra-trip charge and only remove nests that our equipment can reach. Right around 25-30 feet high. But there are times when leaving a nest on the house or in a tree will benefit our wasp nest-targeting service. Yellow jackets and Bald-faced hornets build large cone-shaped or spherical nests off the ground. By the end of the summer, these nests can house anywhere between 500 and 5000 wasps! When a nest is that large, there is going to be a significant number of foraging wasps far away from the nest on the day we treat it. We want these wasps to come back to the nest so that they will also be affected by our treatment and carry it inside the nest. After 1 week, the nest should be completely dead. Once a nest is dead, it will never be used again. So you can either wait for the wind and nature to remove it or leave it up so that no other wasps can build a new nest in the same location next year.
