Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a North Newton property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. Ranch-style homes and newer suburban construction dominate, nearly all built with basements given the area's severe weather risk.
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.
