Our natural-first approach to paper wasps in the Lakes Region

We treat nests at dusk when all wasps are present. Botanical dust applied to nest opening eliminates the colony. We remove the nest to prevent reuse and apply deterrents to discourage rebuilding. We identify conditions common to lakefront cottages and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.

Paper Wasps questions from Lakes Region residents

Paper wasps are generally docile unless their nest is threatened. They're beneficial predators of caterpillars. However, nests near doorways or high-traffic areas should be removed for safety.

Call early in the season when nests are small. A nest the size of a golf ball may have only the queen. By late summer, colonies can contain dozens of wasps. Early removal is easier and safer.

Our technicians treat at dusk when wasps are less active and all are present. We use protective equipment and targeted applications. Nest removal prevents reuse.

We apply deterrent treatments to eaves and common nesting sites in early spring. Regular inspection and early nest removal keeps populations manageable. Our service plans include nest checks.
