Signs You Have a Wasp Nest (and What to Do)

What to look for, and why DIY removal isn’t always the safer option.

Common Nest Locations

Under eaves, inside wall voids, in trees, or underground for some yellowjacket species.

Behavioral Signs

Repeated wasp activity around the same point on the house, especially if it’s increasing over a few days.

Why Professional Removal Is Often Safer

Nests can be larger than they appear from outside, and disturbing one without the right approach and timing increases sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy.
