Do you know the difference between a wasp and a hornet nest? If you see any of these on your property, do not attempt to remove it yourself! Call a licensed professional who can remove it completely and safely.
Hornets’ nests are at least 3 feet off the ground, often in trees or under eaves and they average the size of a basketball.
Paper wasps’ nests don’t have the paper covering that hornets’ nests have, they are open and the little hexagonal cells they construct will be visible. These kinds of nests often only have 20-30 insects, but that doesn’t mean you can take care of it yourself!
Yellowjacket nests are underground with a very small opening. They can fly a good distance so don’t be surprised if you see insects but can’t find the nest right away.
