Wasp Removal Denver: Bee, Hornet & Wasp Exterminator
When wasps have decided your Denver property will be their new home, a can of spray and some luck won’t suffice. You need someone experienced with these pests that can deal with these aggressive species without turning your backyard into a battlefield.
At Solatera Pest Control, protecting Denver families from wasps is our job and expertise. Our licensed exterminators don’t just knock that nest down, but we remove the nest at its source and eliminate the wasp problem from returning even after you’ve thought you had handled this yourself.
Why Do Denver Homeowners Trust Solatera to Remove Wasp Nests?
Let’s be honest, wasps are problematic to remove and treat, which is why you need more than just shampoo a do it yourself store kit. More than ever, wasps become aggressive after they think a human is tampering; a neighboring wasp can swarm aggressively. A nest of wasps may have hundreds of wasps defending their territory.
This is where we come in. Our team offers:
Licensed exterminators for peace of mind that have dealt with wasp species in Colorado
Safe treatments to protect not just you, your family and pets (yes, we love pets, too)
Emergencies and same-day service because wasps don’t care if you have time or can wait until tomorrow
Long-term, preventative reasons as to why they chose your property in the first place
We have been to numerous properties for a variety of projects with wasps; we have removed single paper wasp nests tucked under eves, to expensive yellow802 colonies that have taken over homes with massive colonies of yellow with wasps swarming, it never goes without our full attention and our approach to really attack each situation differently.
Identifying a Wasp Issue Early (When It's Small)
Most homeowners notice wasps before they see the actual nest. Here’s what you should look for:
Increased wasp activity near the siding of your home, attic vents, or deck areas. If you see the same flight patterns day after day, a nest has been established near your home.
Wasp nests typically built of paper on eaves, trees, or corners of outdoor structures. Nests start small but can get very large quickly during peak season.
Aggressive behavior while you try to use outdoor spaces. If wasps are divebombing your barbecue, or are acting aggressive while others are in specific areas, then a colony is likely somewhere close.
We often get home owners saying, “I wish I would have called weeks ago!” Don’t wait until someone gets stung, or the nest becomes a big operation to remove
Our Proven 4-Step Wasp Removal Process
We have refined our process over thousands of service calls. Here is exactly what we do with every wasp situation;
- Step 1: Thorough inspection Our service technicians will find all of the nests and entry points of access. We often find secondary nests that have gone unnoticed by the home owner—which ends up causing further problems.
- Step 2: Targeted treatment We apply professional-grade products that take out the wasps quickly, while limiting the risk to your family. Our services penetrate the nest where over-the-counter sprays can not
- Step 3: Complete nest removal After we have dispatched the colony we removed the nests and clean the area. While taking down the nest(s) and treating, we do not make a mess. Removing old nests can help attract new colonies and we will not ignore this necessary step.
- Step 4: Prevention Planning We cover any entry points and give homeowners specific and ongoing recommendations to decrease the attractiveness of your property to future wasp activity.
This entire process usually takes 1-2 hours depending on the circumstances. You will receive a detailed report outlining what we located and the actions we took to resolve your problem.
The Wasps We Manage Across Colorado
Not all wasps are the same and each requires a slightly varied approach. Here are the ones we typically service.
Paper Wasps: These wasps build the umbrella-shaped nests you typically see under eaves. Paper wasps are not as aggressive as other species, but they will defend their territory if they feel threatened.
Yellow jackets: The most aggressive of the Colorado wasp species. Yellow jackets build large colonies in wall voids, attics, and underground. Yellow jackets are also the species that will turn your outdoor party into a full evacuation.
Hornets: Typically much bigger and look intimidating, yet the hornets are less common in our area. When encountered however, hornet nests can be large and require specialized removal techniques.
Each species has a different nesting preference, activity, and aggression level. Our technicians are trained for each type for safe and effective approach.
DIY Wasp Removal vs. Professional Extermination
We have all seen the YouTube videos. Homeowners approaching wasp nests armed with just cans of spray paint. Here’s the typical scenario:
DIY removals lead to angry wasps, missing part of the nest, and stings that could have easily been avoided. No store-bought sprays get the whole colony, so the survivors will build back quickly. The other downside, and this is a huge risk, is that you’re doing this without any type of protective gear.
A professional removal means that you have a trained technician with proper equipment, effective treatments that will kill the whole colony, and prevention methods that will keep them away. We’ve removed thousands of nests and have never had a customer get stung.
As a recent example, one of our technicians told me about a call he received where a homeowner attempted to remove a yellowjacket nest with only a garden hose. The end result was multiple stings, and an even more aggressive colony. We got the call and did what should have been called not to many days or weeks earlier, but now it was a much worse thing to deal with.
