Again, this is another reason why we recommend reaching out to a pest control service to remove wasps versus trying to do it on your own. Because a Pest Control service is going to have the proper tools, the proper safety gear, the proper equipment and experience with angry and aggressive wasps.

Third Step of Wasp Nest Removal

Step 3: Treat the wasps with a pest control product before you begin the removal process. Sometimes what people try and do is just go directly for getting rid of the nest immediately and the wasps are highly active. They’re aggressive. They’re angry, right? They’re high in numbers. They can be very dangerous attacking in groups and stinging you. This can be potentially deadly if you happen to be allergic. So, you want to treat the nest first, with a pest control product to either stun the wasps, kill the wasps in advance, or at least a large number of them before attempting to remove that nest.

When you are attempting to remove that nest, we recommend trying to do that in the later evening or very early morning, when you can catch a lot of the wasp either sleeping, or not as active and aggressive. It’s better to deal with removing a wasp nest during those times versus just jumping in right in the middle of the day, when they’re at their peak activity levels.

This is yet another reason why we really recommend reaching out to a pest control service, they’re going to have the most effective products and the right protective gear, the training and the knowledge. There is also the safety factor. Giving this dangerous job to the professionals is the safest approach.

But again, if you are going to attempt it on your own, make sure you have an escape plan in place, you have proper protective gear, and you use some type of treatment first, and then try and take those wasps out either early morning or in the night when they’re less active.
