Why Wasp & Hornet Nests Are a Serious Safety Hazard
Unlike most pest problems, a wasp or hornet nest on your property is an active physical danger — not just an inconvenience. Wasps and hornets are highly territorial and will attack aggressively in swarms when they perceive a threat to their nest. A single disturbed yellow jacket colony can deliver hundreds of stings within seconds. For individuals with bee or wasp venom allergies, a single sting can trigger anaphylaxis — a life-threatening allergic reaction requiring immediate emergency medical treatment. Even for non-allergic individuals, multiple stings from an agitated colony can cause serious medical complications. The danger of DIY wasp nest removal cannot be overstated. Attempting to remove a nest without proper protection and professional-grade products frequently results in severe stings and in some cases requires emergency medical care. Our fully protected FDACS-licensed technicians have the training, equipment, and professional products to remove nests safely — the first time.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Wasp Removal
Get answers to common questions about our wasp removal services.
Question
How does Pestmaster remove wasps safely? A: Our process starts with species identification — because different stinging insects require different treatment approaches. Our fully protected FDACS-licensed technicians approach the nest during optimal conditions (typically early morning or evening when wasps are least active), apply professional-grade contact and residual insecticides directly to the nest, allow sufficient time for the product to eliminate the colony, and then physically remove the nest structure to prevent re-colonization. A preventive deterrent is applied to the location to discourage future nesting. Every treatment is performed with full professional-grade PPE for maximum technician and client safety.
Question
How quickly can you respond to a wasp infestation? A: We offer same-day and emergency wasp removal service across Central Florida. A wasp or hornet nest is a genuine safety emergency — especially for households with children, pets, or individuals with known allergies. Call us at (407) 818-5872 for immediate response. In most areas we can deploy a technician the same day.
Question
Are your wasp removal methods environmentally safe? A: Yes. All products we use are EPA-approved and applied precisely to the nest structure — minimizing exposure to surrounding plants, beneficial insects, and the environment. We do not broadcast-spray large areas for wasp removal. Targeted application to the nest ensures maximum effectiveness with minimal environmental impact.
Question
Can you handle large or difficult wasp nests? A: Yes. We handle nests of all sizes and locations — including large yellow jacket colonies in wall voids or underground, oversized hornet nests in trees or high eaves, hard-to-reach nests under decks or in attic spaces, and multiple nest situations on commercial properties. No nest is too large or too difficult for our trained technicians.
Question
Do you provide ongoing prevention after removal? A: Yes. After removing the nest and treating the location, we apply a preventive deterrent to discourage future nesting activity at that site. We also inspect your property for other potential nesting locations and provide recommendations to reduce future wasp activity — such as sealing gaps in eaves, removing food sources, and addressing landscaping conditions that attract stinging insects.
Question
Is it safe to stay home during wasp removal? A: For most treatments, we recommend that you and your family stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed during the treatment. Your technician will advise you on the specific re-entry time for your treatment — typically 1–2 hours. For large or aggressive colonies such as yellow jackets, we may recommend temporarily vacating the immediate area during treatment.
Question
Do you remove wasp nests from commercial properties? A: Yes. We provide wasp and hornet removal services for all commercial property types including offices, warehouses, restaurants, shopping centers, schools, parks, and government facilities. We are active contractors for the City of Orlando. Commercial properties with outdoor areas, loading docks, and landscaping are particularly vulnerable to stinging insect activity. Contact us at (407) 818-5872 for a free commercial estimate.
Question
What should I do if I find a wasp nest before your technician arrives? A: Do not disturb the nest under any circumstances. Keep children and pets away from the area. Do not spray the nest with water, insecticide, or any other substance — this will agitate the colony and trigger an aggressive defensive response. Mark the location if possible and keep a safe distance until our technician arrives. If anyone is stung multiple times or shows signs of an allergic reaction, call 911 immediately.
