Wasp & Hornet Removal in Glendale, CA

Wasp and hornet removal in Glendale, CA gets busy as the weather warms. Paper wasps build their open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, patio covers, and in doorways, while yellowjackets, the aggressive ground and cavity nesters, colonize wall voids, attic gaps, and burrows in foothill yards and can turn dangerous fast near people and pets. Both defend their nests, and yellowjacket colonies grow to thousands by late summer. An experienced local exterminator removes the nest safely and treats to keep new colonies from forming.

Paper wasps vs. yellowjackets

Paper wasps hang a small, open comb you can see under eaves and patio covers; they are less aggressive but will sting to defend the nest. Yellowjackets are the bigger problem in Glendale, nesting hidden in wall voids, attic and eave gaps, and ground burrows, foraging at trash and food, and defending aggressively in the late-summer peak. A steady stream of wasps into one spot on the wall or ground usually means a hidden colony.

Hidden yellowjacket nests in a wall or attic are not a DIY job, disturbing them without the right approach and gear provokes the whole colony.

How wasp and hornet removal works

The exterminator identifies the nest and species, then treats and removes it with the proper products and protective gear, knocking down accessible paper wasp nests and treating hidden yellowjacket colonies at the entry so the workers carry it in. Void and entry-point treatment handles nests inside walls and eaves.

Knocking down old nests and sealing gaps at eaves, vents, and wall penetrations keeps new queens from re-colonizing the same spots next spring.

• Nest location and species identification
• Safe paper wasp nest knockdown
