Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a Askov property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. A mix of historic Twin Cities neighborhoods and rapidly expanding new suburban subdivisions, nearly all with full basements built for severe winters.
Our process starts with correctly identifying the species, since honeybees, wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets all require different handling. Aggressive stinging insects like yellowjackets and hornets get direct nest treatment; honeybee colonies get relocated by a beekeeper whenever possible, since they're a protected and beneficial species.
