Behavior and habits
Queens start nests each spring under eaves, in wall voids, and underground, growing colonies through summer.
Why wasps are a problem
Stings hurt and can trigger severe allergic reactions; late-summer colonies defend nests aggressively.
How Antex handles wasps
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Knock down starter nests early, seal soffit gaps, and keep trash cans covered in summer.
