Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
Early season nest removal when colonies are small prevents establishment. Botanical pyrethrin for nest treatment when removal isn't safe. Physical nest removal after treatment. We inspect and treat developing colonies in spring. Exclusion seals potential nesting sites. For Albany's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.

✓
Inspect eaves and overhangs in early spring
✓
Remove nests when small in early season
✓
Keep garbage covered and clean up fallen fruit

Seal gaps where wasps might nest
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to remove a wasp nest?
Early spring before colonies grow large is ideal—nests may have only the queen and a few workers. By late summer, colonies contain hundreds of wasps and removal becomes hazardous. Fall treatment after frost is also safe.
Are paper wasps aggressive?
Paper wasps are generally not aggressive away from their nest but will defend their colony vigorously. They can sting multiple times. People working near nests or making sudden movements are most likely to be stung. Allergic reactions can be serious.
Can you treat paper wasps in Albany's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Albany properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
