With our Virginia Beach office, we know just what to do about hostile wasp infestation so you and your family can enjoy your outdoor spaces. Rapid response, guaranteed outcome, and professional courtesy—that's the Bug Masters difference. Let wasps destroy your relaxation no more. Call local experts who bug it up so you don't have to.
At Bug Masters, we know that wasps are not just annoying—they're also territorial, aggressive, and hurtful to sting. Whether you have nests around your home, business, or outdoor space, our multi-step wasp control process is meant to eliminate the problem quickly and entirely.
We start by searching your house for all wasp nests and hotspots. Dangling from buildings, in trees, under overhangs, or within wall cavities, we identify what type and how hazardous they are.
Various species of wasps behave differently. From yellow jackets to paper wasps, we customize our approach to the species of wasp and where the nest is located. We favor treatments that provide rapid knockdown and suppress aggressive swarming.
Our experts handle the nest with special treatments that kill wasps upon contact and are effective even after application. Once the nest is inactive, we safely remove it from the property and treat the area to avoid future nesting.
We locate and eliminate possible nesting locations to avoid reinfestation. We will also provide you with useful advice on how to discourage wasps from visiting, such as how to minimize attractants such as food, open trash, and standing water.
For ongoing issues or larger infestations, we provide follow-up visits to ensure the problem is fully solved. Don't let wasps get the upper hand on your yard or entry points. Call Bug Masters and let us bug it up—so you can enjoy your space without sting.
Wasps are not only a nuisance outdoors—once they begin nesting on residential or business property, they become an issue. Their territorial and aggressive demeanor, particularly when threatened, makes identifying the signs of their presence early on important.
The most common signs that you may have a wasp issue are the following:
One of the first and most apparent signs is seeing an excess of wasps hovering around your home. If you see them flying over rooflines, eaves, windows, and porches, chances are very high that there is a nest somewhere nearby. Wasps are also drawn to gardens, trash, and outdoor dining spaces.
Wasp nests may be large or small and in various places based on their species. Paper wasps make umbrella-shaped nests under decks or eaves, while yellowjackets nest underground or in wall cavities. The nests are constructed from a papery material wasps create through chewing wood pulp. Stay secure at arm's length—disturbing the nest can result in violent swarming.
If you have a wasp nest in your walls or attic, you may be able to hear a light buzzing or rustling noise, particularly on warmer portions of the day. Noise like that typically suggests some type of movement in an enclosed space.
Wasps also remove wood from fences, decks, or patio furniture to construct their nests. When you observe tiny scrape marks or chew marks on wood, it may be an indication of nest building in the vicinity.
Wasps become more and more aggressive the closer you get to their nest. If you see sudden, defensive flying in an area or notice multiple wasps flying in a circle or attacking you, there could be an adjacent colony that feels threatened. If you find that wasps have built a nest near your own, do not attempt to deal with them on your own.
Have Bug Masters assist with professional wasp identification, nest removal, and prevention. We will help return your space to comfort and your home to protection.
Things You Should Know Before They Build a Nest
Wasps can appear to be nothing more than just another flying nuisance, but there's a whole lot more to these stinging insects than meets the eye. Whether buzzing around your home or constructing nests along your roofline, wasps are an issue you'll want to resolve in a flash. Here are a few key facts that every homeowner and business owner should be aware of.
Unlike bees, who sting only as a last resort, most wasps tend to be more aggressive—particularly if they perceive that their nest is under attack. Waking up a nest, even by mistake, can induce a defensive swarm.
Wasp stingers are not lost like bees'. That is, one wasp can sting over and over again, which is not only painful but also dangerous—especially for individuals who have allergies.
A wasp queen starts building a nest in the spring and can lay several hundred eggs during the course of a season. Within weeks, a tiny paper nest can grow into a healthy colony of dozens—or hundreds—of workers.
Wasp nests are normally located in eaves, gutters, attic vents, sheds, wall cavities, and ground level. They like areas that are covered but have a connection to the outside world, with frequent visits being required in homes and businesses.
Although wasps are unwelcome visitors to humans, they do serve to keep other insects in check, such as caterpillars, flies, and spiders. Their advantages, however, do not compensate for the dangers once they choose to make themselves at home near your business or residence.
Wasp nest removal is dangerous unless proper protective equipment and expertise are used. Sprays and amateur attempts often fail to reach the queen or don't destroy the whole colony—potentially exacerbating the problem.
If you suspect that there are wasps nesting close to your property, Bug-Masters can help. We have the equipment, training, and experience to inspect, treat, and exclude them from re-infesting.
