Wasps

Our exterminators do not recommend you attempt to remove a wasps nest, no matter the situation, so no one gets hurt or stung.

If you come across a wasp nest, it’s essential to contact our professional exterminators immediately. We’ll arrive at your location promptly and safely remove any wasp nest from your home, outdoor living space, or office.

If you want to avoid the risk of being stung, we recommend you not attempt the do-it-yourself approach. Wasp nests can be dangerous, so it’s best if you let our wasp removal exterminators remove them for you. Many people try to remove these themselves, which typically results in someone getting stung or unexpected damage.

If you’re the curious type and wish to learn more, our friendly exterminators are happy to share more information regarding the specific wasp infestation at your location and a successful next step you can take to prevent future wasp activity.

In Omaha and Council Bluffs, there are four common types of wasps. Knowing which kind of wasps are causing problems in your home will help our local insect extermination team can take the right course of action to remove the wasps from your home as quickly as possible:

• Cicada Killers: These are the most prolific wasp species in the Midwest and measure about 2 inches in length. They can be clearly identified by the bold yellow stripes that mark a black body.
• Paper Wasps: Also, known as umbrella wasps, these wasps have a spindle-shaped body, measure about 1 inch long, and have brown and yellow patterned markings.
• Yellowjackets: Yellowjackets are usually stout-bodied, medium-sized, and black in color with vibrant yellow bands. When disturbed, they can inflict repetitive painful stings so be sure to stay away.
• Mud Daubers: With a ‘thread-waisted’ appearance to their body, this medium-sized wasp has two different species; the blue dauber and the yellow and black dauber. Their nests are usually constructed of clay or mud.

Wasps build their nests from either mud/clay or from paper, made by stripping wood pulp from fences, trees, stakes, and other wooden structures on your home or office locations. If you notice that wasp activity around your Omaha or Council Bluffs living or work area has increased, there’s a very good chance that a nest is present.

Our exterminators are top-notch wasp removal experts who advise inspecting the following areas of your home where wasp nests are typically found:

• Wall cavities
• Roof spaces
• Bird boxes
• Barbecue grills
• Roof Spaces
• Garages
• Under eaves and hangings

To identify where the nest is, pay close attention to the flight path of the worker wasps as they return to your Omaha and Council Bluffs property. This will be easier in the summer months as the number of wasps will increase.
