Wasps build brand new nests every year. This process starts around mid-May or early June. A wasp nest that was built the year before is dead and will never be used again. We recommend scheduling a wasp prevention service at this time to kill any wasps that land on the home before they can build a new nest. This service will not prevent your home from seeing foraging wasps. It’s designed to prevent wasp nests. Wasps will forage around homes with cedar shake roofs, brick & stucco siding, and around wooden decks and fences. Wasps use the wood to make their nest building material. They peel small layers off of dried wood, mix it with their saliva, and use the mixture to construct the papery material their nest are made out of. Homes with brick and stucco siding radiate a lot of heat that will attract wasps to land on the home to warm up their bodies after a cold night. Most wasps will only become violent and sting if an intruder gets too close to their nests. It’s rare for foraging wasps to sting unless they are provoked.
