FAQ

Wasp & Hornet Control questions

Answers to common questions we hear from homeowners, tenants and businesses.

Should I block a wasp entry hole right away?

Blocking an active entry can redirect insects into another area. The activity should be assessed and controlled before the opening is permanently sealed.

What is the difference between a wasp and a hornet problem?

Different species nest in different locations and can behave differently around the nest. Identification and nest location help determine the safest treatment approach.

Will wasps attack if a nest is disturbed?

Stinging insects can become defensive around an active nest. Keep people and pets away from the area and avoid striking, spraying or blocking the nest entrance without a plan.

Does every wasp nest need to be physically removed?

Not always. Whether removal is appropriate depends on the nest type, location, access and whether activity has fully stopped. Some concealed nests cannot be removed without opening the structure.

Can wasps build a nest in the same area again?

Even when an old nest is no longer active, the same structure can continue to offer suitable shelter. Sealing accessible openings after activity has ended can reduce future nesting opportunities.

How do I know whether the insects are bees, wasps or hornets?

Body shape, colour, flight pattern, nest material and nest location provide clues. Correct identification is important before treatment, especially when beneficial pollinators may be involved.
