Where Wasps Build Nests

Under eaves, soffits and deck railings
Inside wall voids and roof spaces
In the ground, sheds and playground equipment
In trees and shrubs (often bald-faced hornets)

When Wasps Are Worst

Nests start small in spring with a single queen. By late July and August, a nest can hold thousands of wasps, and they become more defensive as food gets scarce. Dealing with a nest early is safer and easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself?

It’s risky, especially for large nests, nests in walls, or if anyone has an allergy. Wasps can sting many times.

What’s the difference between wasps and bees?

Wasps are smooth and shiny with a narrow waist. Honey bees are fuzzy. Bees are important pollinators, so see our bees removal page if you think you have bees.

Can you remove bald-faced hornet nests?

Yes. Bald-faced hornets build large grey paper nests, often in trees and shrubs. See bald-faced hornets.
