Find wasp removal near you

While wasps are an important part of the ecosystem, they pose a serious hazard to nearby communities. They can reuse their stings, unlike bees which can only sting once. On top of that, their stings may induce anaphylactic shock for those with allergies. Removal attempts may also pose additional hazards. Falls and trips trying to evade a swarm put you at risk of serious injury. But you don’t have to put yourself at risk or worry at all if you book a specialist through Airtasker. 

At Airtasker, consulting pest removal specialists near you has never been more convenient. You can expect the following in the process of hiring an expert Tasker for a wasp nest removal near you. 

Initial Inspection and Assessment

Upon arrival or remotely through chat, the expert tasker will perform a preliminary inspection. They will identify the type of wasp within your home, find where the nest is located, and evaluate the ease of access to the nest for treatment. These are all necessary information for the best ways to remove a nest which a top exterminator will likely confirm onsite. 

Depending on the evaluation, your expert Tasker might proceed with these treatment methods:

Spraying

Depending on the wasp type and its location, your wasp removal specialist may treat the nest with a spray. It can be a specific dose of an appropriate insecticide or as simple as a diluted soap spray, which inhibits their flying and eventually drowns them. Your Tasker will evaluate whether spraying is the most effective treatment for wasp nest removal at your location.

Dusting

It may be more appropriate or cost-effective to dust a wasp nest, depending on its location. Dusting is much more effective for nests located recessed in areas like tree trunks, buried in the ground, or in a hole in a wall. For this method, your Tasker will use a specific and proportional amount of insecticide dust into the nest opening.

Bagging

Bagging a wasp nest is one of the more common removal methods, but it is only effective for specific types of nests like hornet nests that are enclosed and hang from branches or eaves. Its simplicity is deceptive: just get a bag around the nest, close it up, and drown it in a basin or put it away in a sealed bucket. However, the wrong bagging material can be the difference between a successful removal and a trip to the ER. Specialized Taskers can make sure you don’t have to worry about these details.

The benefits of consulting an expert is they can also help you with tips for preventing and mitigating future infestations. Booking a specialist for wasp nest removal near you additionally ensures you get localized information. There might be more of a certain type of wasp in your area, or you might get tips catered to your home and locale for preventing possible entry points for not just wasps but also bees and other wild animals.
