FAQ
Wasps & Hornets: common questions
Do you remove honey bees?
Honey bees are often relocated by a beekeeper. Call and describe what you see; we'll connect you with a pest control company that can tell you the right next step.
Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself?
It's risky. Disturbing a nest can trigger many stings, especially from yellowjackets in the ground or nests inside walls.
When are wasps most aggressive?
Late summer and fall, when colonies are at their largest and food is scarce.
What if wasps are getting inside my house?
There may be a nest in a wall void or attic. Don't seal the hole while they're active; call a pest pro.
Will a wasp nest go away on its own?
Most nests die off in winter, but a busy nest near a door or play area is worth removing now.
Do you do the treatment yourselves?
No. EmergencyExterminators is a referral service. The pest control company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
