During warmer days, wasps tend to become active and start constructing their nests in shaded areas. Over time, a single wasp nest can harbour thousands of wasps. Some of the most common wasp species that pose a threat to human habitats include Yellow Jackets, Bald Faced Hornets, Paper Wasps, Mud Daubers, and Carpenter Bees.

Typically, wasps build their nests on trees, bushes, and overhangs, and sometimes even inside properties. Decks are no exception, and nests have been found underneath them because of the safety they provide. If you notice an increased number of wasps flying around your deck, it may indicate a wasp infestation from beneath.
In such cases, it’s vital to conduct additional inspections to ensure no other nests are present on the property. Wasps can sting when agitated, and they tend to call upon other wasps to help eliminate the perceived threat.
It’s essential to note that some people may have an unknown allergy to wasp toxins that can be severe enough to require hospitalization. If you’re unsure about how to handle a nest, it’s best to seek the help of a professional wasp control specialist. Removing wasp nests is dangerous and should only be done by experienced professionals with the right equipment.
If you decide to handle the nest yourself, try applying pesticides at night when the temperature drops. Wasps are less active and less vigilant in colder temperatures. However, be sure to apply pesticides from a safe distance as they may attack you after being sprayed.
Breaking the nest apart using a broomstick to let the wasps out during colder months is not advisable and should be avoided if possible. The best option is always to hire licensed and insured professionals with years of experience and the right equipment and tools to ensure safe wasp removal at all stages. Technicians conduct a detailed exterior inspection to find the nest and hotspots and apply the appropriate pesticides to combat wasp presence.
